Former UFC welterweight champion Johny Hendricks has always had issues with his big physique, at least in terms of making 170 pounds before fight night. He once missed weight for his title clash with Robbie Lawler, and it’s been an ongoing issue as it’s been revealed he used to cut 45 pounds in eight days before competing. Now with the newly implemented USADA IV rehydration ban, ‘Bigg Rigg’ is looking a lot more average in size.

His most recent performance, a shocking TKO loss to upstart underdog Stephen Thompson, showed Hendricks looking a lot smaller. His explosive power and movements just weren’t there, and he suffered a one sided beatdown to ‘Wonderboy.’ Thompson was able to control the distance perfectly, meaning his kicks connected on a frequent basis, and ‘Bigg Rigg’ was suddenly looking all too human.

UFC president Dana White had gone all bonkers and declared Hendricks as a middleweight after his latest withdrawal from the UFC 192 contender match with Tyron Woodley. A blocked intestine due to kidney stones from a harsh weight cut saw ‘Big Rigg’ once again falling foul because of his slimming issues, but he still has a sense of humour about the subject.

Check out the hilarious music video that Hendricks made for the recent 2016 Fighter Only Awards:

 Nice afro Johny! It’s quite a similar clip to the now infamous DC ‘chicken and cake’ montage, except Daniel Cormier has never missed weight for a fight. With all the fun and games included in this video, there’s a serious issue a hand; where does Johny Hendricks fight next? He’s clearly way too big for the welterweight division to be at his best with the IV ban too, but he is way too small i stature for the middleweight division.

What are your thoughts?

After he caused an unceremonious cancellation of his anticipated UFC 192 clash with fellow top welterweight Tyron Woodley, former UFC champion Johny Hendricks was told he was ‘now a middleweight’ by UFC President Dana White.

While that never came to be, Hendricks has essentially lost most of his contender status despite not having lost a fight since a narrow split decision to current champion Robbie Lawler at UFC 181 in late 2014.

All of that has lead ‘Bigg Rigg’ to have no other choice but to take his nutrition and diet plan, which formerly consisted of ballooning up to 215 pounds in between fights, much more seriously in order to stay where he has a real shot at the belt.

Hendricks used to do his own nutrition and use Mike Dolce, but for his main event bout against Stephen ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson at February 6’s UFC Fight Night 82 from Las Vegas, he’s enlisted the help of diet guru Loutrition run by Louis Giordano. And apparently it’s worked to positive results.
