Tim Kennedy's story is anything but boring—it's an incredible journey of success across multiple arenas where most people struggle to dominate even one. From fighting in the UFC to serving as a Green Beret in the U.S. Army Special Forces, Kennedy has mastered the balance between two worlds that demand intense physical and mental toughness.

Earning his Green Beret was no easy feat. Kennedy endured grueling physical and mental challenges through the Special Forces Assessment and Selection and the subsequent Q-Course, which have a 77% attrition rate among candidates. Despite being a professional fighter ranked in the top 10 in the world at the time, Kennedy found the Special Forces training to be an entirely different kind of battle.

Kennedy faced some of the biggest names in the UFC, including Michael Bisping and Robbie Lawler. His fights were high-stakes and brutal, much like those he fought overseas. However, he was forced to ask himself if these two lives—MMA and military—could coexist. In a now-infamous story, Kennedy fought a televised match on Fox while serving as a Green Beret. This led to a complicated conversation with his commanding officers about whether his two worlds were compatible.

While Kennedy has found success as an entrepreneur, he’s also a dedicated family man. However, he openly acknowledges the personal sacrifices that came with his years of military service and MMA fighting. He missed large parts of his older children's lives due to deployments, something that remains one of his biggest regrets. Today, he’s more intentional about being present for his family, balancing the demands of entrepreneurship with fatherhood.
