Strikeforce middleweight and US Army Special Forces soldier, Tim Kennedy suggests some techniques that may not be legal under the Unified Rules, during a "Train the Troops" event:

"So you're going to take the knife and you're going to drive it right into their stomach," I hear Tim Kennedy, Strikeforce middleweight contender and Army Special Forces sniper, screaming from my left. "This is the finishing blow you want to end with, so you drive it in."

"Once you drive it in, you're going to turn it over quickly, in the shape of a C. Then, keeping the knife blade level, you're going to drive it all the way to the other side of his body.

"It's called a C-cut," Kennedy says licking the plastic knife. "Alright, let's practice it!"

Gray Maynard, Tim Credeur, Damacio Page, and Jorge Rivera also participated in the event, contributing more "typical" MMA techniques.

Anyone notice how there’s a year-and-a-half gap in his MMA career? I’m just saying. O:-)

He’s also a three-time light heavyweight champion in the Army’s combatives tournament, but left the ‘active’ Army at the start of August after he was unable to reach an agreement that would let him maintain both the pro fighting and active military careers at the same time. If I recall an Army Times story correctly, he would have required permission from the commander of Special Operations Command for each and every fight.
