Johny Hendricks WILL NOT fight until he gets a Title-shot

[Cage917r]

Because all the fighters who have taken this stand has had it work out for them so well. Lets see, the UFC isn't giving me the shot because someone is a bigger draw, how about I don't fight, don't gain any more popularity, and then expect them to give it to me, when, in reality, while I am sitting out, some other guy will become the hot shit and then everyone else will want him to fight for the title.

What Jonny is really thinking, "Man, I hit a lucky punch on Fitch, prolly should have lost to Kos, knocked out a massively overrated Kampmann, and people think I deserve a shot? Oof, I better not fight again or people will realize I'm not all that great."

I lose respect for fighters that do this... to me it comes off as a lack of confidence. If you believe you are good enough at a shot at the title why not just beat another fighter in the mean time?

Diaz.
Its about what fight sells the most.

The most weed at the arena?

What happened to fighter just fighting whoever is in front of them? So much mid-tier guys crying for title shots. Just keep winning and it'll happen.

Mid-tier? He has THREE top 10 wins in a row and he is getting fucked over for a guy who has never even beaten ONE top 10 WW in the UFC (was Lawler top 10?). Nick is also coming off a loss/suspension. Hendricks has every right to be pissed off

He should ask Rashad how that worked out for him.

JDS in a similar situation, fought Carwin.

idk Hendricks can be stubborn and he has every right to be. He's been knocking out the best WW fighters so i think he holds the power in this situation

LOL he has the power in this situation? Ummmmm NO.. What will the UFC lose if lets say the situation turns ugly and Hendricks wont fight and they let him go? He isn't a "star" and really something like this could (if escalated) end his career in the UFC.



However, I hope it doesn't.

 

[MaTaLa]

That's funny...does Hendricks think him not fighting is going to affect anyone but him? I don't care if he fights or not.

Lol this is the biggest load of BS you should be banned for this stupidity

 

[kmasonbx]

Lol, what's Hendricks going to do if he doesn't get a title shot, retire? Dude better just fight whoever the UFC offers him and stop whining. What does he do if GSP beats Diaz and then decides to fight Silva? He's just going to sit out over a year and think he deserves to stay the #1 contender?

This is not the proper way to go about this at all. This will not please uncle Dana, Johny
