Johny Hendricks: 'I'm done fighting at welterweight'

Johny Hendricks' days of fighting at welterweight are about to come to an end.

Hendricks, who failed to make the 171-pound limit on Thursday, prior to tonight's UFC 207 fight against Neil Magny, told MMAFighting.com that he's not going to cut to welterweight anymore.

"I'm done fighting at welterweight," he said, just hours before the fight. "Unless they open up a 175-pound division, I'm moving up to middleweight."

Hendricks missed weight by 2.5 pounds on Thursday, however, this was far from his first hiccup.

First, he needed an extra hour to make weight prior to his UFC 171 title fight against Robbie Lawlwer in March 2014.
