I try as often as possible to hold in negative opinions (and feel guilty when I catch myself being an ass). But I think there's value in this next statement (esp bc it counters my own)

His tone and delivery in interviews tends to annoy me. So I stopped watching stuff he's in.

But with that said, some people I know (who are better people than myself)have actually met him and they spoke well of him.

So I was probably wrong. Maybe he's a coll dude.

maybe a new stage will bring forth a differect side of him!? So I'm excited for this :)

I've always felt his UFC demise was the direct result of 'salad karma' from his restaurateur days:

This thread tells me even hardcore fans kind of unknowingly disrespect Bellator, casual fans even more. Also they are very much underating the level Bellator is at now. The Johny Hendricks I have seen post USADA won't do as well as you think in Bellator at either 170 or 185.

At best this guy is barely inside their top 10.

You think Honny Hendricks is hanging with Rory , Koreshkov, Larkin or Lima at 170?

You think Honny Hendricks is haning with Carvalho, Sakara, Shlemenko, Salter, or Gegard at 185?


Please tell me how the real Honny post USADA beats any of these guys

Waiting

I've met him a couple of times at UFC expos. Seems like a decent dude and was always friendly. That was when times were going better for him though. Let's just say that hypothetically a member of this site was was reviewing a contract offered to him to launch a podcast in the near future. Would he be an interview that you might be interested in hearing?

i for sure think that any relatively top fighter at ww and mw will smoke hendricks. what im getting at is that bellator is interested in anyone who can sell a couple of tickets. that is why i think he could more than likely end up in bellator.

LOL, yeah I see that. I read it a bit too quick and saw John Rambo J's post as "He will go to Bellator and beat the piss out of Gegard"

I did not want to call him out directly so I just said it that way. Now I read it again and see he wrote something very different.


OOops that's my Fuck Up MosRizzle

I'm not sure how accurate this is, I just listened to him on the Luke Thomas show at 4:15 this afternoon and while he has fought out his UFC contract he never said he was finished with the UFC and that he was hoping to be back with them. Something may have happened in the meantime but he said he was going to be talking to his manager tomorrow to get an update

FoSho. I may sometimes give off the wrong impression of taking this forum chat stuff to serious, I actually am ridiculously laid back in real life, I think I am just kind of intense and it comes off the wrong way on the interwebs. So part of that is on me also. Much Props Good Sir We are solid.

He needs to get his shit together if he plans on continue fighting. Thinking he may have been enhanced prior to USADA, so maybe a different org would help him get back to winning.
