Regarding Kennedy,
Kennedy might retire?
Jacare v Romero
I think the fight with Romero is smart for Jacare. If anything happens to Belfort he'd be the obvious choice to replace him cause he's already training to fight. And if he goes out there and beats Romero, the timing works out perfectly for him to get the next title shot cause he's fighting on the same card as Belfort/Weidman, barring any injury sustained during the fight to him.Kennedy is scheduled for surgery on his right knee, due to a partially torn meniscus, over the next week or two.
However, as reported on UFC Tonight by Ariel Helwani on Wednesday, Kennedy gave no timetable for a return, or even if he would return.
"I'm not sure," he said, "but that has nothing to do with my knee."
Kennedy, who has wins over names like Michael Bisping, Roger Gracie, Melvin Manhoef and Robbie Lawler, would have been in the top middleweight tier with a win over Romero. But now, at 35, coming off the loss, the former U.S. Army Green Beret isn't committing to anything going forward.
When asked if his plans were to take a sabbatical from the sport, or if he would ever fight again, Kennedy replied, "No idea."
