Good stuff from Ben Fowlkes... "As Tim Kennedy took to the center of the cage to give his post-fight remarks after winning a decision over Robbie Lawler at Saturday night's Strikeforce event, you could almost hear many MMA fans rolling their eyes. Here he goes again. It was more stuff about the military. More stuff about the soldiers who are in "real" fights overseas, even calling out a wounded solider who he'd brought into the cage with him. At best, some critics said, it was cloying. At worst, opportunistic self-promotion on the backs of fellow soldiers. Just thank your sponsors and move on. Why does it have to be about the military every time? Kennedy's heard it before. "I feel like people are kind of resentful of me because it," he told MMA Fighting this week. "I don't mean to throw it in people's faces. I was actually reading on Sherdog[.com] and there was like 400 comments under the thread line that said something like, 'Does anybody else want to kill themselves when they hear Tim Kennedy talk about the military?' That was the whole thread, and there were something like 400 comments of people saying, 'Yeah, I hate it so much every time he brings it up.'" Click on the link for more!
