Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) welterweight slugger Johny Hendricks is an exceptional wrestler, as well as one of the very best 170-pound mixed martial arts (MMA) fighters on the planet. “Bigg Rigg” captured the division crown back in 2014 and could be on his way to another title shot later this year.
But as a business owner? Well … let’s just say he’s probably better sticking to combat sports.
Hendricks was forced to close his steak-centric restaurant but isn’t ready to give up on life outside of fighting. In fact, the bearded brawler is already mulling over his next move and it sounds like something that if not lucrative, will at least be a lot of fun.
“Restaurant is done. I tried a business that failed; you learn from it and move forward,” Hendricks told Dallas Sportsday (via Bloody Elbow). “I thought about a reality show. I want to try to start Baja truck racing. I want to do hunting and fishing.”
86 steaks … though I don’t think anyone in Texas will be crying themselves to sleep (based on this).
Hendricks will return to the cage at the upcoming UFC 196 pay-per-view (PPV) event, which takes place on Feb. 6, 2016 inside MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada (details). Where he competes in the line up is still a mystery, as the fight card is currently without a main event.
