Tim Kennedy is a former soldier turned MMA fighter. His career took him from Strikeforce to the UFC where he fought twice for the middleweight belt.

In a very personal book ( Wounds and bumps, Nimrod editions) Tim Kennedy tells his open heart about his not always very elegant life, and how the fight civilized him. In the army he was part of the elite, joining the "rangers" to fight in Africa, Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere. The passages on his battles in external operations, in particular the evacuation of Kabul, are written in a documentary style.
