Tim Kennedy vs. Michael Bisping Targeted for TUF Nations Finale on April 16

Ask, and ye shall receive.

After months of call-outs, tweets and public shaming, former Strikeforce star Tim Kennedy will finally get the one fight he's wanted for months when he faces veteran Michael Bisping at the TUF Nations Finale. It is planned as the main event, but Bisping will need clearance for his injured eye before he can officially accept the fight.

Kennedy was granted the fight during a Thursday meeting with UFC president Dana White at Zuffa headquarters in Las Vegas. Kennedy confirmed with Bleacher Report immediately after that meeting.

The fight takes place April 16 in Quebec City, Quebec. It also features a fight between TUF Nations coaches Kyle Noke and Patrick Cote and the finale of the Canada vs. Australia Ultimate Fighter tournament. A bout between Tim Gorman and Mitch Gagnon is also targeted for the event.

Should be an easy warmup for Bisping.

Kind of weird to have two relatively high profile fighters competing on the TUF Nations finale when neither fighter is from either of the competing countries, but whatever works I guess.

didnt we talk about this already? fucking matrix.

but yeah, still going for Bisping here. cant believe im saying that

I hope Bisping tko's kennedy into next year!!!!!

I automatically root against anyone who calls out Bisping.

Not because I am the hugest Bisping fan in the world, but because it's so fucking old now and even though Bisping is a great fighter fighters think of him as a safe fight because he lacks punching power.

So for this fight...WAR BISPING!

Yeah I'm tiring of this little game, too.
I was on board with everybody calling him out back when he spit at Rivera's corner, but now it's just played out. I'd have more respect for it if someone more established like Machida, Weidman, or Anderson calling him out, but Kennedy?

Quick, name Kennedy's last 3 opponents!

Now name Bisping's last 3 opponents!

I could probably guess which one of those was much, much easier than the other.

looks like Bisping's eye exam came back inconclusive so this fight might not happen in April.
