[wh4tttt]

Not as i remember, it happenned to you ?

 

[SuperNerd]

[ejazahmednit]

Awesome when he wins, insufferable when he loses
By all means seems like a good guy but a very sore loser

 

[pick999]

Hendricks vs judges and diet.

USADA?

its sad theres lots of fighters that where never the same when drug testing came
fedor look mid tier in a drug testing org
gsp didnt wanna fight in a drug testing org

only jones fought in ped era and drug testing era
he is the only fighter that has been proven to be great in any era

i know there are lots of middle aged men that will be angry at me
but lol looking at this pic alone and saying natural
tf bro

 

[HHJ]

Never really was a fan. If he doesnt KO you in the first min, he's a pretty boring ankle grabber or throwing sparring level strikes

How about this pic? Funny how there's like a 95% consensus here that Hendricks did PEDs (though he never failed a test) but you accuse current fighters who show more signs of PED use and get lots of denial and excuses.

 

[HavokHarmon]

Hendricks had a really strong win streak before he challenged for the title though. He was definitely a top guy. The competition he faced to earn his title shot was elite.

He did, and he was. This is no disrespect towards Hendricks, I just don’t see how you can even compare his historical footprint to Weidmans.

[DanDragon Machi]

Underrated

Better than Usman, Edwards, Shakvat, Belal, Hughes......

 

[ssBaldy]

I admit they both followed the same path …

So you see Weidman fighting pornstars in the future?

That USADA just came along and we got nothing but natty WWs after that pesky Georges left!

 

[fedorthegoat777]

Good fighter, basically tied vs. gsp then went into a crash. That was it. Also gets fat.

An almost champ.

 

[Pilo]

He was fat and whiny.

And labeled as a KO artist for scoring two actual KOs over a 21 UFC fight tenure.

 

[Fluffernutter]

I'll remember most was the crappy stalling call Muz got during their semifinals match at the NCAAs

 

[Th3Sav4ge]

great fighter. one of the best ww we have seen. got jobbed out the title to gsp and lawler so people will hold that against him. either way im glad i got to see him fight. went from a wrestler winging bombs to a decent striker who could compete with lawer and gsp on the feet. condit was the only one on the feet who it made it feel like johnny needed the takedown, which johnny was able to get.

dude had everything. cardio durability, power, grit, timing, speed. top 5 ww of all time

now that we know how his career went, what is your general opinion on Hendricks ? We know that it’s was 50/50 against George , up to this day a lot of people think that Hendricks should had won. We also know that he finished is career terribly against an ex porn star in a bare knuckle fight. Overall , was winning against an all time great like gsp and ending is career badly like he did is kind of unique ?

Pre USADA Hendrix is a tough out for any past or current Champ.

But he was a shooting star.

 

[HeffDoesWant]

He did, and he was. This is no disrespect towards Hendricks, I just don’t see how you can even compare his historical footprint to Weidmans.

Their striking similarity is they both fell off a cliff performance wise in mid 2015.
