We love Strikeforce middleweight Tim Kennedy. He fights hard, he’s hilarious and he’s a veteran Special Forces badass. That’s why it is unfortunate that Kennedy will likely be the next dude to get fired over tweets if he continues to tweet as he’s recently tweeted. (There’s a special place in hell for writers that use both the noun and verb forms of the fake word “tweet” in a single sentence, I’m sure.)
Here at CagePotato, we’re the last group of people to be easily offended, but we’re just trying to send an advance warning to Señor Kennedy. Recent twitter posts of his have included many elements of any get-your-ass-fired social media cocktail: References to rape, singling out people of certain religions for bodily harm, and shotguns.

“Is it wrong that I honk and wave at Mormons as they ride by on their bikes trying to get them to crash?”
And on April 22nd, when Kennedy follower @jere562 asked the fighter, ”if #zombies were roaming the streets and one was a celebrity, who would it be and what weapon would you use to kill them?”, Kennedy replied:
@jere562 all [of] the cast members of the Jersey shore, and the Kardashian family. Shotgun”
First of all, we’d argue that If Kennedy is annoyed by the nice young ladies of Keeping up With the Kardashians, he has no one to blame but himself. You either watch that shit on mute or stick to pictures and videos of Kim Kardashian on the web, like us.
Secondly, yes, Kennedy’s tweets were tongue-in-cheek and funny. But that didn’t save Miguel Torres, who was fired after quoting a comedy television show on twitter. If UFC President Dana White does end up warning or punishing Kennedy, he might at least realize that if one tells a roster of hundreds of fighters to get active on twitter, it would be helpful to provide them with some very specific guidelines.
Kennedy is walking the line, here, especially in light of Anheuser-Busch’s recent warning on fighter behavior. Here’s hoping he doesn’t get in trouble, but if Kennedy does get canned, I think we can all agree that this is how he’d want to be remembered:
Jason “Mayhem” Miller arrested for putting his sister in a headlock. Man, I didn’t know I could have pressed charges on my brother every time he kept me from grabbing the remote control. Damn it!.

Holly Madison has donned the red UFC Octagon Girl bikini twice for us and though we appreciate it, we here at MMAFix feel it’s time to see a new honorary celebrity ring girl. So this is our public letter to Dana White:
Dear Dana,
Thank you for Holly. Now here is our humble request for future celebrity ring girls… KIM KARDASHIAN JWOWW AUDRINA PATRIDGE HEIDI MONTAG MILEY CYRUS
Keeping in nature with Holly Madison’s reality star celebrity status and for the simple reason of how they fill out a bikini, we have chosen the above highly qualified candidates. Now, we concede Miley Cyrus is yet to be a reality show castoff and yes, it may not even be her in thefrontal nudity picture, but we figure she’s a (Lohan) stone’s throw away from a stint onCelebrity Rehaband we’re pretty sure she’snot too shy about covering up…plus, we ran out of hot reality stars to choose from. It was go with Miley or this Atlanta Housewifehere, or this Kate minus 8here, or thisOctomom. Thank you for your thoughtful consideration, Mr. White.
