Seen Tim on Rogan many times and a few other shows and he’s always a riveting interview. Just love Tim and his organization, and his tremendous humanitarian efforts.
This was one of your finest moments as a journalist Ariel. Thank you both for sharing this with us!
hahaha tim is so full of crap
Wow. What a fantastic interview. You've got to appreciate Tim Kennedy. I could listen to this man speak all day.
get his audible book
I wonder if he read the audio book 📖
@@user-yk5hc4qt1n please tell me he reads it
no idea lol. I read it though!
Tim Kennedy, what an absolute gem of a human being.
THERE. IS. ONLY. ONE. TIM. KENNEDY.
Tim Kennedy is a true hero. Absolute legend.
He fooled you- well done buddy!
Cap🧢merica?
I could’ve easily listened to another hour of Tim talk. What he does is so important because he reminds everyone of how many others did important things for him as well. He gives credit to the heroes that can’t speak for themselves.
He has many podcast appearances.there all great
Much respect to Tim, what a legend. Great Interview!
*Tim is such a genuine bloke.* Professional, but not afraid to just be himself and have a laugh.
TIMS charisma is off the chart what a man and gentleman. Not a lounge chair philosopher but getting his hands dirty in the trenches with the utmost integrity.
Didn’t expect to listen to this whole interview but damn Tim can tell a story🤟🏽
Exactly what i thought
keep listening now whole thing primo
Great Interview Ariel. Thankful for men like Tim who learn, change, grow and then serve others. Thank you Tim.
A true American hero. I would absolutely kill to have him on my podcast. Great job with time management, Ariel. You crunched all the quality stuff in.
Tim Kennedy is a living legend. Ariel, thank you for doing what you do. Your interviews are outstanding.
THE BEST INTERVIEW I'VE EVER SEEN! WHAT A MAN! AND WHAT A STORY! I'M BUYING THE BOOK!
I’m grateful to hear you guys talk about the freedom’s we enjoy every day and again I’m grateful for guys like Tim Kennedy
If someone asked... "Who do you think the baddest man on the planet is?" I'd say Tim Kennedy.. his MMA career, his mental state, the workouts, etc. But more importantly what he has done for this country, and many other countries is overwhelming to think about.. all in ONE lifetime.. really makes you think about what all you (and myself) have done in our lives!! Dude is a legit trained assassin! Crazy to think about
You would appreciate the Shawn Ryan Show. He’s former cia and a navy seal. Does amazing interviews with guys similar to Tim!
100% one of the baddest men walking the earth!! He has lived 30 lifetimes worth of badassery in only 42 years. I’m sure he’s far from done writing the incredible story of his life. The world needs more men like Tim!!
I’m listening to his book now, I highly recommend it.
This is 1 of the coolest Interviews ever !! So intense. Great job .
I love Tim. He was a very underrated fighter.
Best interview ever! Thank you Tim and Ariel.
What an incredible human. So much respect
I love this interview and love Tim he is always fun to listen to and informative
Kennedy, when he's old should do that Dos Equis commercial because he is in fact one of the most fascinating human beings
Read the book some weeks ago and it really is an awesome book. We need more Tim Kennedys in this world that is for sure.
Tim is a class act of integrity and a lot more...
Can listen to Tim talk for hours
Tim is incredible and such an inspiration!
Good human beings!! Thankfully this was as long as it was because I could listen all day.
I've just bought that book. Many thanks!
Great interview! I am a fan of Tim Kennedy.
Huge respect to Tim everyone should try to be more like Tim
Ole Tim Kennedy... Hard guy not to like! Didn't realize that he wasn't always an awesome human being!! Awesome interview!! Will have to get the book!! 👍👍
This Man has done SO MUCH in his life in such a short time, TRUE AMERICAN..
Ok and?people are people, that's all ..it's good tim did a good thing helping people but shouldn't matter where your from
I’m glad there are men in the world like Tim Kennedy. Fuck’n Hero
What a life story and this guy is still so young! And It's refreshing to hear someone openly discussing the issues that surround the UFC & fighter pay besides Ariel.
I had never heard of Tim before.. I am now a fan and forever will be. What a special human being.
Great talk. Need another interview with Tim.
Spoken as a Patriot! Thank you for standing up for the guys who don't make it....so vital
Such a great interview!
Damn this was such a good interview. Came up on my auto play and I was hooked 2 min in.
This was a phenomenal interview. So much respect. Never stop talking about fighter pay.
Although it's never mentioned there are several vague implications that tim Kennedy is in the army
Pretty sure he's a contractor/mercenary for special missions. Very common for ex-special forces. Hired by the military, but he isn't enlisted per se
@mVP Tim isn’t going to f**k you dude
@@abtwopoint0 I've wrote a comment with all his badges and rank if your interested
@@abtwopoint0 he's still in special forces part time in the national guard but they get called up to active duty often. Most of the work he's talking in the interview is not part of his military job.
What an amazing interview, wow
I had a feeling Him went to do some Captain America stuff.
I've been a fan FORVER and it grows exponentially every single time he resurfaces.
God speed, Mr. Kennedy ☘🍀☘🍀
Whaaaat! Thought this was your show! How do you let the interview end!?!?!?!? Great stuff Ariel!
Awesome interview with a true hero who isn’t a perfect human being and that’s ok. Much respect to both parties
Simply put, one of the best MMA-related interviews I have ever seen.
DIdn't expect to listen to the whole thing, but I did. Glad for it.
The Ultimate Badass on the planet - Tim Kennedy!
Tim has a way to tell a story.
I feel like less of a man compared to Mr. Kennedy
Blessings to all....
You and me both buddy. But we can always aspire to be more like Tim
@@highdesertjohn agreed 👍
@@moisesperez3693 not me lol, i just got done doing jiu jitsu for three hours with killers and im 44. hit the gym fellas, tomorrow
@@lowlowseesee quick question did you have a hard time getting in shape for J/J. I'd imagine at 44 , unless your athletic
@@moisesperez3693 my advice is, do it at your own pace.
thank you Tim for talking about everything here especially fighter pay, what he said on here was shocking and really put things into perspective! UFC need to really sort themselves out
What a gentleman!
great interview
part 2 needed
Tim is a legit Hero. Don't see those much anymore.
This man is great inspiration
Need more guys like Tim in the world, top fella 👌
This guy is so likeable it makes me sick lol, I could listen to him forever, a true American hero, if we were all like him this world would be an amazing place, thank you arial and Tim for making this happen and making all our day that much more special, 😊
Broken Arrow was even an action movie comon Ariel...great video :) Tim is AMAZING great episode and great interview also loved it :)
Fantastic interview
Great interview!!
Tremendous interview Ariel! I'm only 20 minutes in and I'm devastated that this eventually has to end 😭 lol
💯Great Conversation!!💯
We need a part 2!
This is going down as one of the BEST ever interviews from your show!
Great interview
Best talk ever Ariel Cronkite! Godspeed Tim stay safe
Always heard Tim Kennedys name n thought he was just another fighter but gah damn this fools a G
Thank him.
Brilliant conversation and always liked Tim but he's a real bad ass.
*Got the book on Audible the other day. Haven't listened to it yet but I'm excited for it.*
Favorite interview need more
Tim is building to be a politician. For anyone thatbdoesnt know . The writing is on the wall
God help us
@@diamondbracelette you don't believe in God
Great interview this
The Legend!
I'm a combat veteran I served 1st Armor Division in 2003 and I was attached to several units ... Tim you have me fkn crying bro .I love you fellow brother in arms I understand every word you are saying..
My favourite interview in a long time
🔥Tim is DEF a Legend💯
Tim is a legend!
More Tim Kennedy!!!
This is pretty incredible stuff.
great interview
Really should have dedicated another hour to this...
The legend himself!
Tim is the man!
Tim (or 'Tin' as Yoel Romero would say), looks like a stereotypical music executive that you see in those 80's - 90's movies like Airheads starring Brendon Fraser.
Have to say, never had an opinion of Kennedy when he was fighting. This interview has sold me on his book. Will definitely check it out. The man can tell a story and is well-articulated.
Ill be reading this..no doubt
I wish I was 1/8 the man Tim Ken is.
Lmfao 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
one of the best interviews by Ariel. Would love to see these two again !
Great interview! Just imagine sitting around the camp fire listening to Tim's stories. 🔥
The best interview you ever had... belive me!
Like Goggins Tim exposes his vulnerabilities so that you can really learn from him. Tim is an extremist so it's great that he continues find a way to help people. Awesome dude for sure!
This may be a very corny and delusional take but the only way I see a major group of fighters coming together is if Conor McGregor came out (with the help of his lawyers etc.) and called for a weekend conference of sorts, where they all sit and discuss some of these matters. This would be a HUGE heal turn in regards of Conor turning his back on Dana & the UFC but there is no other fighter who other fighters would be quick to jump in line and follow. Conor can speak straight to the masses, if he did something along these lines all major sports networks would cover it because they too like money, and the controversy would bring viewership. Conor is infinitely more influential than all the other champions combined when it comes to casual fans. A lion share of viewers do not really know the difference between "mma" and "ufc" let alone the fact there are grievances like these going on constantly.
Fair point. I think mcnuggets is too self absorbed for that, but if he actually did this selfless act, I would appreciate him. But I think you're right, he may be the only person who can unite all fighters at this point in time.
If he did that, man, he'd gain way many more fans..
Conor was earning minimum wage when he came to the UFC. He climbed his way up to the top. Say what you want about him but he worked harder than anybody else. He was always active and put up exciting fights. Plus he was everywhere doing ridiculous amount of media and getting his name out there.
Do you think other fighters are willing to do that?
@@cainslawyer8058 he didn't work harder than anyone else, he just got lucky by having a natural persona for tv and physic for modeling really expensive suits and accessories. So, the multi billion dollar industry's latched on to him like the leeches they are, and funded him to the top for their own benefit. Probably got him to sell his soul to marina abromavic like jay-z and lady gaga. Had nothing to do with working harder than others. Once mcnuggets got to the top, his lack of hard work ethics showed, the longer his criminal record got, because it takes really hard work to stay at the top and maintain your integrity.
This guy is the ultimate man
What a hero! I waited too long to listen. I should have watched immediately! Thank you for your amazing service Tim Kennedy and thanks Ariel for that stubborn streak. Combat Sports needs personalities like you desperately! Amazing Interview!
Just got the book - wow!
Immediately bought the book
Tim you legend!
that was a darn good listen
I am literally listening to this enjoying the Morro bay weather live it love don’t come come visit.
Your best show!
