hendricks will never likely be signed again by the ufc, simply because he's not a draw, he sucked ass after usada was implemented, coincidence or not.
likely the ufc has zero interest in him anymore. his main rise to fame is the fight with gsp that everyone says he won, but really everyone's opinion means shit including mine since neither fighter got a finish and in the words of professionals including dana don't leave it in the hands of the judges, clearly they felt gsp won even with the damage so that means johnny didn't do enough....he didn't even do enough to score a draw, but tyron did in one of his title fights? Everyone so blinded by the visual damage on gsp, don't analyze and score the fight with eyes and viewpoints of the judges, they ruled in gsp's favor. years later talking about the gsp/hendricks fight is like beating a dead horse, johnny battered the champ when he was having an off night yet still didn't prevail. close fight, or thought he won, doesn't even matter cause gsp was the one who walked out that night still the ww champ.
hendricks to me will be known as the ww that almost won but still came out the loser...his almost beating gsp wasn't good enough anyways because he still lost and couldn't even muster a draw which would've been the closest thing to actually winning the decision or getting a finish which neither he did...the only other person who can say they almost may of won but didn't was condit when he head kicked gsp and knocked him down following with gnp but gsp recovered and regained control of the fight. Coming up short, or almost winning is great but the only thing that really matters is actually succeeding neither condit or hendricks could do it.
