Johny Hendricks hires nutritionist, vows to improve weight cut: 'I've killed my body way too much'

Johny Hendricks was supposed to fight Tyron Woodley at UFC 192 in October. A win would have more than likely earned him a shot at a title that many believe he should not have lost in the first place.

Instead, two months later, Hendricks is further away from the belt than he has been in years and that isn't even his chief concern. His health and well-being are.

Hendricks didn't lose to Woodley. He couldn't even make the fight. Two days before, he found himself in the hospital with a kidney stone and a blockage of an intestine thanks to an extreme weight cut he has attempted to perform all too many times.
