Strikeforce middleweight contender Tim Kennedy has
long been considered one of the top prospects in the 185-pound division,
but now may finally be his chance to trade in that up-and-comer tag for
a different one: champion.
Kennedy gets that chance on Aug. 21 in the co-feature of the
Showtime-broadcast “Strikeforce: Houston” event when he battles Ronaldo
“Jacare” Souza for Strikeforce’s vacant middleweight
title.
On Tuesday, Kennedy took part in a pre-fight press conference promoting
the event, and the former Army sniper said “Jacare” is just the next
name on his list.
