Hendricks:"Mijn lichaam stopte er gewoon mee. Te zware weight cut"
Dec 8, 2014 Je vecht in de UFC als een Welterweight vechter; dan is het niet direct een heel slim idee om als heavyweight rond te lopen voordat je met je trainingskamp begint.
Dat is een van de dingen die aan de hand was bij Johny Hendricks. Hendricks verloor dit weekend van Lawler, die hiermee de nieuwe UFC welterweight champ is.
Hendricks tegen FOX Sports:
"I thought I clearly won the first three rounds. The fourth and fifth round, the body just shut down. He came on strong. Early on, my takedowns were great. I was trying to wear him down, grind him and get his arms tired, but it did the total opposite. This was a little hiccup. I had a bad weight cut. Maybe I can't balloon up to 215 pounds. The weight came off early and then it stopped. Robbie is the champion, and now I get excited to fight someone else.""
