What happen to Johny Hendricks punching power ?

[PivotPunch]

He wrestles more now.

He doesn't go for the highlight reel KO anymore, nor does he care to please the fans as well.

Hendricks at 185 is a bad move though.

He has always wrestled if he saw that the opponent didn't go away from the first shot. he wrestlefucked the hell out of Condit he just also landed a few single big shots on the way in but it was a total wrestlefucking

Robbie SON'D, big rig to Royale w/ Cheese Town.

It's not only his punching power: Pre-USADA when he ducked VADA he knocks people out, makes weight, goes 5 rounds with the cardio king GSP and almost beats him. USADA comes in and he can't make weight anymore, he gets finished in the first round and loses to a top 15 guy in Gastelum.

His best performances were against GSP and Condit imo. He looked ruffled once he couldn't drop Robbie and it changed his mind set.

He's a good wrestler and always been known as such, but he needs to go back to his old fight style of standing and banging and wrestling to dominate. He's not a GSP or Cormier so he doesn't need to rely solely on his wrestling, especially when he has hands of stone and pretty good boxing.

Cormier doesn't only rely on wrestling either I think Cormier even Hendricks are pretty similar allthough Hendricks hits a bit harder

Cormier has some of the best wrestling MMA has ever seen. Hendricks isn't on the same level as DC. Plus Cormier is more well rounded than Johnny.

Easy, he's a moron. Lost to lawler, ever since he's been running his own camps. Trying to save some money but you can't do that at this level.

hendricks was using stuff to help him out. he got out before he got caught. simple as that. no coincidence.

I think hendricks has better boxing and lowkicks but worse wrestling, Hard to say he's not as well rounded. Cormier couldn't outwrestle Gustaffson and Jones either

God how I miss that Johny.

 

[leatherneck]

Everyone discovered to use movement against his power and it utilized it pretty good. Plus, his poor weight cutting is catching up to him. lol.

i think youre lookin for neatralized.

Gus was the first person to take Jones down with wrestling. Gus is known as a vicious striker but is surprisingly well rounded.

And everyone knows Jones is great at wrestling. He's great virtually everywhere in the octagon.
