johnny Hendricks: It's the partly fans fault I'm not fighting for the title.

Another click bait, misquoted, out of context thread title. Jesus, I dislike Hendricks as much as the next guy, but that's not what he said.

“It’s not even so much the UFC’s fault. It’s also the fans; whenever they do a polling of the fans, they might want something different.”
 
“it just sucks, because i get injured (after winning the title at ufc 171), i come back, (lawler) fights (jake ellenberger and matt brown), and you’re the no. 1 guy – c’mon,” hendricks said. “i fight, i think i win. I lose, for some crazy reason, right?

“then all of a sudden i fight somebody, he goes and fights somebody, and instead of him sitting there and saying, ‘you’re the no. 1 contender,’ the fear of losing the belt is what’s keeping him from fighting me.”

wtf?
 
Stop spittin that disgusting tobaco saliva in public Hendricks and I may change my mind about your title shot.
 
Should've won the second fight vs Robbie, It's the only robbery in which most of the MMA media said the other person won, that sherdog didn't cry about. The instant rematch was needed, more than ever at that juncture. Hendricks for all intents and purposes has been getting the screws I hope he walls and stalls his way to the top and never lets go of that belt now tbh. Dana is a fuckboy... Conduit over Hendricks...the fuck is your problem?

fuckboy? Is that the best you kids can come up with these days? Stalling is a great way to get fired the first chance they get too. Ask okami and fitch about it.
 
LMAO.

"Boohoo, I deserve everything and it's all everyone else's fault!!! Don't you remember how long I held onto Robbie?!! I held him against the cage a lot! I deserve the belt. Boohoo judges. Boohoo fans." GTFOH Jonnie. Knock people out again and maybe we'll care about you.

Agreed. It's not fighter bashing if it's the truth, it's just the truth! Well said my good man!
 
I agree with him, mission accomplished.
 
Literally had to take and hold Robbie down to win the belt the first time.

Robbie KO's him in the rubber match, Hendrick took way too much damage in both fights
 
He says that right after saying he intends to do more pin and pray and wall and stall?

Does he not understand that the reason fans don't want to see him fight for the title is because of the way he has been fighting?
 
those words in the title didnt show up in the article, as far as i coudl see
 
People here hate him but they know very well he is going to take that belt back whenever he fights for the title. They complained that he should fight one more time rather than getting a rematch. Jonny smoked brown and note they want him to keep fighting. He is taking yet another fight and people are still giving him shit for complaining when he has every right to.

Lawler fought 2 guys before getting his shot too.

Fair is fair.
 
Poor poor helpless Hendricks. It must suck to be you. Always someone else fault when you lose and it's some conspiracy when you don't get the match you want.

How does this guy have fans?
 
I think what he means is that it's the fault that fans prefer to be entertained and he's boring... It sucks for him but that's the game.
