How would Johnny Hendricks do at heavyweight?

[clivers]

Sure this has been asked plenty of times but how well do you think the big rigg would do if he ate as much as he wanted and had a big belly ala Roy Nelson? Surely his power would increase with more weight at the hips and could be a nightmare to takedown with his wrestling pedigree. Thoughts?

Hendricks vs Ngannou is a fight I'd like to see

 

[clivers]

Could change his nickname to bigger rigg, his final form

Hendricks vs Ngannou is a fight I'd like to see

Prime Hendricks outwrestles him, gasses him out, and then drops bombs on his head

4th round TKO for Bigg Rigg

 

[Guy LeDouche]

He's barely 5'9 and doesn't have the natural mass and bone structure to compete at that weight against much larger opponents.

 

[wilKO]

He'd be champion if he could make weight.

 

[Karelinator]

If he was actually training seriously, similarly to his top form (but from whatever reason as fat ass HW), he could probably beat dudes like Ante Delija and that's about it.

 

[Benoitthegr8]

Similar to middleweight just less successful than his unsuccessfully atrocious campaign at 185,

oh and if you weren’t paying attention

would be hard for Jonny, I doubt he would make weight.

The strange thing is that he's pretty much got the same build as DC

You have a lot of courage to post a picture of you eating a burger.

 

[The Domin8or]

he would have been goat him vs big tim at super-heavyweight would make sense

 

[Mammothman]

5"9' DC was HW champ and now LHW, I think Hendricks can do ok at LHW

 

[fiftywattmafia]

Funny how Hendricks struggled to make weight a handful of times, get constantly berated over it but missing by what seems like nothing compared to Dern and Till.

 

[Franklin U.]

Hope this is rhetorical or a joke.His reach alone at 185 was comedy.Hed enter a tomato and be ketchup after first fight.
Please

 

[machidafan99]

he might miss weight

 

[drbolony]

In a all seriousness, Johnny has a pretty obvious eating disorder. The man needs help. You know what I'm saying?

 

[Chagaev]

He would still have room for pie.
