Tim Kennedy angling for a shot at Michael Bisping?
This fight would be the definition of an action fight with the relentless pace and unreal endurance that both guys bring to the table. That said I don't think we see it happen, as Tim Kennedy A) isn't a UFC fighter though now via Strikeforce, he's under the Zuffa banner and B) I don't see Bisping's management agreeing to such a risky fight against Tim Kennedy who would stand a very good chance of winning, but wouldn't move the meter in regards to Bisping's chances at a title shot with a win. It's a fight that doesn't make sense for the Brit, but hey neither did Jorge Rivera.

Tim Kennedy speaks to Sherdog Radio about his loss to "Jacare" Souza and his plans to KO Melvin Manhoef on March 5th at Strikeforce: Henderson vs. Feijao:
"That [Jacare] fight was totally crap," Kennedy said. "I sat there for 25 minutes and stalked the guy around the cage as he would peck me with the jab or throw an overhand right. Repeat for 25 minutes. That sucks. I, as a fan, would get bored with that fight. For crying out loud, come forward and fight me. You’re the greatest grappler on the planet. So I stuff you on a couple of takedowns, maybe try for a third one. If I take you down, maybe try to submit me. Don’t sit there and ride out a decision doing some fancy footwork for some so-called judges that are boxing judges. That’s stupid. If you’re going to win a title, come into the cage to fight."
"I’m not that kind of fighter," he explained. "I want to fight. I know everybody cares about who gets the W, but the fans want to see exciting fights. … Of course I like winning, but I like fighting. Fighting’s the essence of the sport, and that’s what people pay to see. If I’m going to take him [Manhoef] down, I’m going to pick him up and I’m going to slam him. I’m not going to stay tight for a close submission. I want to knock him out. That’s what fans like seeing and that’s what I like delivering."
