Depending on how his evening goes on December 30th, former UFC Welterweight Champion Johny Hendricks could be stepping into the Octagon for the final time of his career.
Hendricks appeared as a guest on ESPN’s “Five Rounds” podcast recently and claimed that if he loses against Neil Magny at UFC 207, he will retire from MMA competition.
“The last two I have lost, fair and square, I know I have,” Hendricks said, referring to his current two fight losing streak in the UFC. “Realistically, if I go out there — and hey, crazier things have happened — I go out there and lose, that’s when it’s time to say ‘I’m done.’ I’m not gonna keep fighting to hopefully find a person I can beat.”
UFC 207: Nunes vs. Rousey takes place on Saturday, December 30th from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Join us here on 12/30 for live coverage of the pay-per-view.
