Mixed martial arts career

Early career

Before joining the UFC, Kennedy amassed an amateur record of 8-1 and a professional record of 8-0.[3]

Ultimate Fighting Championship

Kennedy made his promotional debut on August 27, 2016 at UFC on Fox 21 against Alessandro Ricci.[4] He won the fight by unanimous decision.[5]

Kennedy was briefly tabbed as a short notice replacement to face Mirsad Bektic on October 8, 2016 at UFC 204.[6] Subsequently, after his participation was publicly confirmed, Kennedy indicated he was injured and unable to take the fight.[7] He was replaced by Russell Doane.[8]

Kennedy next faced Rony Jason on March 11, 2017 at UFC Fight Night 106.[9] He won the bout by unanimous decision.[10]

Kennedy faced Kyle Bochniak on July 22, 2017 at UFC on Fox 25.[11] Kennedy won the fight via unanimous decision.[12]

Kennedy was scheduled to face Alexander Volkanovski at UFC Fight Night: Hunt vs. Tybura on 19 November 2017.[13] However, Kennedy pulled out of the fight on October 5 citing a back injury.[14]

The bout with Volkanovski was rescheduled and took place on February 11, 2018 at UFC 221.[15] He lost the fight via technical knockout in round two.[16]

Brave CF

Kennedy's contract with the UFC ended after the Volkanovski bout and Kennedy grew tired of the contract negotiations for renewing, eventually leading him to sign with a new promotion - Brave CF.[17] Kennedy headlined Brave 14 against Danyel Pilo on August 18, 2018.[18] He won the fight via knockout in round one.
