MMA fighters have a tough life. So do their families. Veteran UFC fighter, Tim Kennedy, recently revealed how he tried to toughen up his daughter by getting her kidnapped.

The retired fighter shared a picture of the men who kidnapped his daughter on Instagram and wrote, “Seven years ago today, these two thugs tried to kidnap my daughter from our MMA gym in Austin, Texas.”

“They waited outside of the women’s restroom and when she came out after changing to take her martial art class, they covered her mouth, scooped up her legs, and carried her out the back door….”

“I have the most brilliant and strong daughters on the planet. All three of them are going to be fierce citizens. I definitely did not make it easy on any of them.”

Kennedy even tagged the two men in the pictures: Tommy Shane Steiner and Aron Lofton. They happen to be his friends and even share several pictures with him on Instagram.
