Johny Hendricks coaching Holland. Oh yeah, he's a cop now, too.

[Billthebutcher]

It's cool to see Johny driving Batman's pickup truck.

Looks like a kid sitting in his dad's truck lol

4 pages in and no one has pointed out how sad it is that a 10 year vet and former UFC champion has to become a cop to make ends meet after retirement.

Unless he ate it all.

its his fault though, he wasnt very wise with his money. multiple shitty investments

Not only that people act like just because you make decent money you keep it all. His entire living expenses for the 2010 decade along with taxes and gym fees probably drained 70% of his career UFC earnings.

He has to work, you can't have a 6 person family in your mid 30s and expect to never work again just because you fought in the UFC.

[mb23100]

Not a champion, but Costas Philippou retired from MMA and became a C.O. He's now making 150k/year, full free medical benefits, 20 year retirement with a great pension. He'll most likely end up with a better future than most UFC vets or even champions for that matter.

Texas treats their LEO's pretty well. He'll turn out fine.

He's just following the path offered by the Great MMA Sensei, nothing to be sad about.

 

[Blayt7hh]

Hope he gets some stability and redemption. The last few years have been absolutely brutal

1. Invest 6 figures in a restaurants and forecloses. Restaurants in Texas are usually terrible investments (the stastic is something absurb, along the lines of 80% of restaurants fail in the first 3 years).
2. Moves to one of the most cheapest areas of North Texas and then buys one of the most expensive houses. Ends up losing his house in foreclosure.
3. Trys to open a gym and ends up shutting down.

Yeah he was a classic example of an athlete burning his money

 

[BigTruck]

He didn't get "finished by a gay porn star" retard, that was a real fighter with over 50 professional fights. Do you say the same thing about Chris Leben?

Did Leben do gay porn or something?

"What I told everybody was, as soon as I retired, I was going to fall off the face of the earth,” Hendricks recently told MMA Junkie.

Until the past few weeks, that held true. Hendricks, 37, who now works full-time as a Texas police officer, had largely not been heard from. Largely inactive on social media, he’d seemingly vanished.

A key figure in the history of the UFC welterweight division, Hendricks still assisted on the local scene with wrestling from time to time. That’s the closest he got to combat sports. However, a call from his old manager with an intriguing task at hand has returned Hendricks to the MMA scene.

“When (manager) Oren (Hodak) contacted me about Kevin, he’s a Texas boy. He’s doing Texas proud, just like me,” Hendricks said. “My goal for him is that he can win the belt here in Texas as well.”

Kevin Holland doesn’t do a single interview these days without being asked about the obvious: his wrestling defense. He’s never hidden from it. From the moment he lost his second straight fight, when he dropped a unanimous decision against Marvin Vettori in April, Holland (21-7 MMA, 8-4 UFC) has acknowledged the obvious, even joking about it at times.

“In my eyes, I still suck,” Holland bluntly told MMA Junkie in a recent interview.

Though he accepted an offer from Daniel Cormier and made the trip to out to Northern California for two brief training stints at Antdawg’s in Gilroy, Calif., Holland wanted help a little closer to his home city of Dallas – and who better than a former UFC champion to give that to him?

Although their personalities are opposite, their similarities shine through. The contrast in styles mesh well and they’re both “Texas boys.” Hendricks, a former UFC welterweight champion, is someone Holland aspires to follow in the footsteps of. The recipe is working, according to both coach and fighter."

I just hope Johny isn't in charge of Holland's nutrition plan.

At least Hendricks' has a cool ride, though. It's a good thing gas never got more expensive after he bought that. I'm sure he still has it.

There is no way in hell he still has that gas guzzling monstrosity in these non championship days

Lol when I read the thread title I thought it meant Kevin Holland was a cop, that would be hilarious though

 

[Steerpike]

Should have saved 70% of his money
