When Johny Hendricks stepped on the scale at UFC Oklahoma City on June 25th, even he seemed exasperated. Hendricks put his head in his hands as the numbers were read out, the former career welterweight (and former UFC champion) had missed weight again. But he wasn’t nudging the line at 170lbs like he had against Kelvin Gastelum and Neil Magny, this time he was over the middleweight limit.
Johny Hendricks hit the scales at 188 lbs for his fight with Tim Boetsch, a man 3 inches taller than him, who has spent his career bouncing between light heavyweight and middleweight.
