Exactly what it says in the title. This raises some questions:

1) Why does Dana White want Tim Kennedy dead? Is he being sent as a sacrifice before the harvest season?

2) Roy Nelson, Chael Sonnen, Nick Diaz and Miesha Tate are examples of fighters who have fallen upwards. Vitor KO'd Bisping, then Rockhold, and now he is getting Tim Kennedy. Is he the first fighter in the UFC roster to ever rise downwards?

3) Has the UFC officially given up on proper matchmaking? If so, can we see Bob Sapp vs Dominick Cruz? (please?)

You forgot Akiyama: won a questionable decision vs. Belcher then loses to Leben, loses to Bisping, and finally loses to Vitor before dropping to WW and losing a close decision vs. Jake Shields.

Who else is Vitor supposed to fight? He's just KOed Bisping & Rockhold, Souza is facing Okami, Cung Le is doing TUF China, Munoz is facing Bisping, Boetsch is facing Rockhold, and with the title rematch the only available fighter even sniffing top 10 other than Kennedy is Philippou. My guess is this is the UFC's version of penance for Kennedy mouthing off about pay combined with the best possible fight for Vitor.

Kennedy could give a non-roided Vitor big problems.

Vitor apparently wanted that fight, and the UFC wanted Machida vs Belfort. Neither got what they wanted.

Vitor w/o roids and Kennedy being a very large grappler could result in a massive upset. In fact....I'll call it, Tim Kennedy survives the first round and goes on to win handily.

Belfort will be no bigger than a -160. The handicappers will know about him and his TRT.
