The 26-year Nebraska concrete finisher has carried himself the same way since the first time he grabbed a microphone, and was even a missed phone call away from being the voice of DWCS.
His focus being solely on the fighters, as opposed to himself, mirrors the way the entire LFA crew has successfully run the show all these years.
With LFA celebrating it’s fifth anniversary back where it all started, Kendall has seen over 200 household names come through the LFA cage. He may have missed Jens Pulver at RFA 1, but seeing Brandon Moreno win LFA gold and then become one of the most beloved UFC champions has more than made up for it.
He sees even bigger accomplishments in the next five years, and the never ending wonder of “who’s next” has Kendall as excited as he was the day he heard about RFA 1.
“In five more years you’re looking at maybe 225 more shows,” Kendall said. “It’s tough to imagine. How it’s going to evolve, you never know. If I look back at RFA 2 where I started, it’s interesting how it’s evolved, and it’s tough to figure out where we’re going to be, but we’re going to be on top.”
Here’s to five more years!
