For essentially the past half year, Johny Hendricks was told his next bout would be a title eliminator.
And UFC officials announced it as such when he was paired with fellow contender Martin Kampmann in the pay-per-view co-headliner at Saturday’s UFC 154 event.
Although UFC President Dana White recently said he now has “no idea” if the winner will, in fact, get a title shot, Hendricks said he’ll make his case this weekend.
