The former UFC welterweight champion was knocked out at 21 seconds of the second round by Dakota Cochrane in the co-main event of the World Bare Knuckle Fighting Federation debut card Friday night in Casper, Wyo.
Cochrane opened up a nasty cut under Hendricks’ eye in the first round and then finished with a huge right hand early in the second. It was a fairly one-sided affair. After the right, Hendricks dropped to his knees and the referee waved off the contest.
Hendricks was supposed to fight Brennan Ward on this card, but Ward pulled out this week due to contractual issues.
