Middleweight Tim Kennedy was scheduled to face Rashad evans at UFC 205, which takes place next Saturday (12), in New York, but he was caught by surprise four days before the event and removed from the card after his opponent's medical problems. However, the North American wasted no time and used social media to challenge some names, with the intention of staying on the show.

The first target was the Brazilian Anderson Silva, whom Kennedy had provoked on other occasions. “Anderson, I was curious to know if you have plans for November 12th? Do you want to meet me at Madison Square Garden, in New York?”, challenged the North American.
Afterwards, it was time to Ronaldo Jacare be challenged. In the message, Tim provoked by remembering the first duel between them, in August 2010, in which the Brazilian was the winner. On that occasion, Jacaré won by split decision from the judges and won the middleweight belt of Strikeforce, the now defunct MMA organization. “I'm sure I beat you when we fought. It was a split decision. Do you want to do that again?” he teased.
Finally, until the champion Michael Bisping was provoked. “I heard that you would be at Madison Square Garden on the 12th. It seems like you want redemption for the beating you took?”, fired the fighter, referring to the duel between them, in 2014, won by the North American.
Tim Kennedy hasn't fought since September 2014, when he was knocked out by Yoel romero. At 37 years old, he has 18 wins and 5 losses in his career. In the UFC, there are three triumphs and just one setback.
