Tim Kennedy met with the media following his Strikeforce: Los Angeles submission win over Trevor Prangley Wednesday night.
A former special forces soldier in the U.S. Army, Kennedy talked about being able to focus all his attention on his MMA career for the first time, and how that can only spell trouble for his opponent. The middleweight fighter also discussed what’s next for him.
Watch Kennedy’s press conference below.

LOS ANGELES – It wasn’t exactly a definitive ending, but Renato “Babalu” Sobral did just enough to edge out Robbie Lawler in the main event of Strikeforce: Live at the Nokia Theater in a rare Wednesday night event.
The catchweight bout turned out to be a back-and-forth affair, with Sobral doing more damage from distance and Lawler trying to load up for the one blow that would end it all.
While Lawler was successful in avoiding most of Sobral’s takedowns, virtually negating the ground game entirely down the stretch, he wasn’t quite as effective in the striking exchanges, and the result was all three judges scoring the bout 29-28 in favor of Sobral.

Q: Why are we watching a Strikeforce event on Showtime, in the middle of the damn week, ten days before a bigger Strikeforce event on Showtime?
A: Why the hell not?
The stakes are relatively low, but the matchups are promising. In the main event, Renato Sobral and Robbie Lawler slug it out in a moneyweight battle for a potential title shot down the road. Welterweights Evangelista "Cyborg" Santos and Marius "The Whitemare" Zaromskis meet in a guaranteed basher. Plus, Army Staff Sergeant Tim Kennedy defends his country’s honor against South African veteran Trevor Prangley, and KJ Noons returns to the cage against Conor Heun. Round-by-round results await you after the jump. Refresh the page every few minutes for all the latest, and let’s hope these fights end early so I can go to bed.
With the MMA world still abuzz with speculation as to whether or not Chuck Liddell will finally call it quits, not to mention the daily drama / intrigue that always accompanies the UFC (perhaps you’re following Chael Sonnen’s recent memory lapses regarding his Twitter account), tomorrow’s Strikeforce card seems to have really been lost in […]
With the MMA world still abuzz with speculation as to whether or not Chuck Liddell will finally call it quits, not to mention the daily drama / intrigue that always accompanies the UFC (perhaps you’re following Chael Sonnen’s recent memory lapses regarding his Twitter account), tomorrow’s Strikeforce card seems to have really been lost in the shuffle. Perhaps, just mentioning it has caused you to say ‘oh shit that’s right, there’s a Strikeforce Wednesday.’
Now granted, you may not weep uncontrollably if you don’t have Showtime and can’t catch the card, but the headliner between Renato “Babalu” Sobral and Robbie Lawler definitely has the potential to be damn exciting, as does the Tim Kennedy vs. Trevor Prangley tilt. Prangley is a UFC vet that could give a lot of top middleweights a run for their money, while Kennedy continues to impress, with his only loss since 2001 coming against “Mayhem” Miller. In a recent interview with Fight Hype, the Army Ranger had this to say about facing Prangley tomorrow:
“He’s a great wrestler and he’s hard to take down and he has a great chin as well, but he’s slow. He’s slow on his feet and his footwork is not that great. I would like to pick him apart a whole bunch on the feet and finish him with an exciting knockout, like all the fans want to see.”

In the first installment of Writer vs. Fighter, Cain Velasquez narrowly defeated me after we predicted almost exactly the same results for UFC 114. In an effort to distract attention from my loss, allow me to point out that we were both spot on when it came to the main event, even if we also both missed a few on the undercard (yeah, like you picked Mike Russow to knock out Todd Duffee, smart guy).
For UFC 115 this weekend, I challenged Army Ranger and Strikeforce middleweight Tim Kennedy to square off against me in one of the only MMA-related activities I actually stand somewhat of a chance at beating him in. And even though Tim has a real fight to worry about against Trevor Prangley at next Wednesday’s Strikeforce event in Los Angeles, he was gracious enough to accept.
Now I must put his kindness out of my mind and focus on destroying him. As they say in both prison and reality TV, I didn’t come here to make friends.
