Heartbroken Tim Kennedy takes to Twitter to look for new Fight for the Troops 3 Opponent

Tim Kennedy is a brokenhearted man. At least that’s what the UFC middleweight announced on Twitter after the promotion moved his next scheduled opponent to another fight.

I want @lyotomachidafw to know that he broke my heart.... :-(

Up until Friday afternoon, Kennedy was scheduled to face former UFC light heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida in the main event of UFC Fight Night 31: Fight for the Troops 3. However, the UFC pulled Machida from that bout, moving him to the main event of UFC Fight Night 30 where he will replace Michael Bisping in the main event.

Bisping was forced from his scheduled matchup against Mark Munoz due an eye injury that will keep him out of the Octagon for the next four to six months.

Kennedy, looking to salve his emotional wounds, then went on to engage in some Twitter "trash talk" in the hopes of getting a replacement opponent:

Hey @ChrisCamozzi I think you have bad hair, and should fight me in defense if your stylist. (My best attempt at picking a fight)

@TimKennedyMMA how dare you talk about my hair!!! That's crossing the line bro! I'm always available

— Chris Camozzi (@ChrisCamozzi) September 28, 2013

So @danawhite this is what happened. I made fun of @ChrisCamozzi 's hair. He got mad... So to settle things we decided to fight!

Yo @mousasi_mma I'm not exactly sure where Leiden is, but I want to put you in a "Dutch oven". (See what I did there). Let's fight over it.
