185 is going to be too much for Hendricks. He needs to lean out outside of camp. Trying to cut major amounts of weight getting older doesn't work. The weightcuts wrestlers go though takes a toll on your body, he's done it for a long time.

Now his body is refusing to do it and unless he can cut fat all together and stay within 15 pounds (my opinion) of 170 (walk around), he'll need to retire.

IV definitely. I meant PED's. Lol I think Hendricks lost a lot of motivation too, after losing the belt, it was all downhill, like he didn't care.

IIRC
Hendricks was offered the chance to train at AKA but he didnt want to move his wife and kids. His wife also pushed him to open up a steak house which flopped too.....Simply his heart isnt in fighting anymore, he should retire if he loses this next one. Plus the newer generation is just that much better than hendrick's old fashion style

I agree. I heard his steakhouse had the worst customer service ever. Oddly enough I heard the same thing as Chael's pizza place. I don't know if it's still open. I'd definitely go.

Anyway, yeah. If he doesn't win he should retire or get serious again, that's really his only options. Let's be honest, he's not going to get a belt at 185, even if he can beat Hector. It doesn't make sense to stay in it getting fucked up for essentially nothing, even more so if your heart isn't in it.

Edit: Also being on the wrong side of some key decisions is another factor that would lead to not caring.

Re: General UFC/MMA discussion, news, updates, etc.

options for gsp (sources say only superfights/title fights): This is for his first fight back, because he sign a mulit fight deal, it will be smart for him to pick a "for sure" win fight.

Most likely be Bisping because not only has both parties agreed to the bout, Bisping is willing to push Romero to the side for GSP and Bisping recently said his ideal retirement plan was to beat GSP then Romero then call it quits.

WW title: only if Wonderboy isnt champ because they were training partners and plus GSP said in the past he doesn't want to fight people in his camp.

UFC is most likely gonna pay GSP millions to fight so they need somebody to match up with him economically.

Lawler surprisingly isn't a draw plus hes dangerous, I don't see GSP taking this fight. Same goes with Anderson Silva, sure it has the star power but man this fight is way too late to be good.

Diaz is asking for large amount of money which might be a costly gamble to see if Diaz still has the star power (mainly because of his inactivity plus first fight was lackluster)

Mcgregor(lol) makes a lot of sense money wise, I would like to see this but its gonna fuck up the LW division even more.

Hendricks still a dangerous fight for anyone in the top 10-5 in any division, his problem other than weight is that he has not grown as a fighter which is problematic when people figure out your style (ex: cro cop)
