Fighters around the world offered up their best holiday wishes as Christmas Day arrived, although Tim Kennedy and family took a slightly different approach.
The MMA world celebrated Christmas (or just the holidays, if you prefer), with a number of fighters posting Christmas greetings on social media. We’ve collected a handful for you to enjoy, but it’s retired UFC/Strikeforce middleweight Tim Kennedy who really takes the cake this year — with a bizarre approach to welcoming Santa to his family home.
Good Ol’ Saint Nick might be wise to avoid the Kennedy house after this… no update on Santa’s condition, but a lot of kiddos are going to be concerned.
Mr. and Mrs. Vanderford, meanwhile, spent Christmas Eve doing drills in the snow. Former fighter and current analyst Robin Black has coined Binkmas, which might actually catch on. And Conor McGregor’s Christmas looks like he bought an entire toy store.
Check below for season’s greetings from a host of fighters, as the MMA world celebrates Christmas 2019.
Just what’s going on here?
