Johny Hendricks plans 'test cut' to 170 before entertaining move to middleweight

Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) welterweight champion Johny Hendricks, at this point, should probably know whether or not he can make the 170-pound limit.

After all, he's been fighting -- quite successfully -- for the past eight years.

Regardless, "Bigg Rigg" is going to make a "test cut" to 170 pounds, simply to see if he can still do it on his own before making a commitment to move up to middleweight, according to a report from UFC Tonight.

It probably wouldn't be an issue if he stopped ballooning up between fights, but that's what happens when you own your own steakhouse.
