johnny hendricks in bad BAD shape after weight cut

If he loses tomorrow, I'm betting the UFC brass gives him two options... Move up or move on. Bellator is probably already calling him. ;)
 
Igor was just a few inches taller than Mighty Mouse Johnson. He was great in the 1990s when, like that guy said, the sport was dominated by part-timers. Back when Royce Gracie was still considered a top fighter.

I mean maybe he would do OK today. But I don't see it. 5'8 fighting monsters like Lesnar? I can see 5'10 guys like Hunt doing it but that 2" is huge.

Igor is a beast he fought top K-1 fighters and dominated in MMA at the same time. Sure it was a different time, but when one of the most legendary HWs ever is 5'8'' and Mark Hunt who is still is a top HW CUTS to 265 at 5'10'', saying a 5'9'' guy can't be successful at 185 is absolutely ridiculous. Am I saying Hendricks would do great at 185, not necessarily.
 
He has that kelvin gastelum syndrome. If he loses I think the UFC should cut him...you know what I mean.
 
He was on auto-pilot the whole fight. Just wanted to get out of there.
