“I know I can’t make 170 anymore,” Hendricks said to BJPENN.com. “I had my body shut down too many times. Right now, I’ve been lifting weights and staying in shape and training my guys. But if they introduced a 175-pound division, I’d be there and fight again. I’m too short to be a middleweight. I can do okay at middleweight, but it would have to be good matchups for me. At 170 I can’t make it.

“I’m only 36 years old. I still run two miles, and I walk around at 220. I’m not far off where I was when I was fighting. At 170, I think I was 210-215, but 170 was never in the realm. The body mass got too high. If they came out with a 175-pound division, give me three months and I’d make it and fight again.

“The bare-knuckle thing... I thought I would be fighting a good striker, but I went through six opponents.... If you look at those guys, they are getting cut a lot and they break their hands a lot. I don’t want to break my hands every fight. I don’t want to get cut. There are easier ways to make a living. The likelihood of that happening in the UFC, all those cuts and broken hands [is] slim. . . . The UFC is a lot safer than bare-knuckle.”

Hendricks deserves his rematch with GSP, with stricter USADA drug testing this time.

No shit.
 
PigRigg

215 lb WW...... Almost was enough to beat the WW GOAT who he seemingly had 20+ lbs on in there.....
 
He would do better with the selective matchmaking of Bellator or PFL. I honestly think Hendricks could have won that awful PFL Middleweight tournament back in 2018.

3 months? 5 pounds? C'mon man. Lay off the steak for a bit. Christian bale losers that between takes
 
Why doesn’t he just put the fries down? You can’t tell me that if he can allegedly make 175, he can’t just trim 5 more pounds of fat and make 170.

Sadly, he has no discipline or drive because he also missed MW ffs.

I had fun with Professional Fighters League. Go figure.

I definitely hope that PFL returns.
 
He walks around at 220 and wants to fight at 175 lmao. Try LHW CheeseBurger Rigg
 
Hendricks and his wife Christina have four children: Abri, Adli, Avin, and Rigg.

Yeah please don’t come back for your own sake. You turned into a comedy figure. You used to be a badass fighter who was the best in the planet at 170. You just don’t have it anymore and you will get embarrassed.
 
Hendricks should call Scott Coker
 
I know that's a fake interview because the real Johny Hendricks would have said "y'know what I mean" about fifteen times in one sentence, y'know what I mean?

Hendricks is the man who chased GSP out of WW
he's an uncrowned GOAT
 
So, what is it, like a 70% chance of him returning?
 
He has more chance of re-opening Big Rigg's steakhouse than making 175lb
