Johny Hendricks won’t rule out retirement after UFC 207, even if he wins

Johny Hendricks was once one of the most feared welterweights on the UFC roster. The 33-year-old developed a reputation as one of the heaviest hitting fighters in the sport and went on to capture the 170-pound title at UFC 171.

Since then, however, Hendricks has somewhat lost his way and lost the belt in his first title defense against Robbie Lawler in 2014. The 33-year-old has also dropped losses to Stephen Thompson -- who handed Hendricks his first TKO loss -- and Kelvin Gastelum, who beat Big Rig via unanimous decision at UFC 200.

Hendricks will have a chance to reignite his championship spark against Neil Magny at UFC 207 but admits that his career could be coming to an end.
