Johny Hendricks vs. Neil Magny added to UFC 207
Two welterweight contenders looking to bounce back from recent losses will collide on Dec. 30 when former UFC champion Johny Hendricks takes on Neil Magny at UFC 207. The UFC announced the bout late Tuesday night.
Hendricks (17-5) is currently in the midst of the worst slump of his UFC career, having lost three of his four bouts since he defeated Robbie Lawler at UFC 171 to claim the vacant welterweight title. The 33-year-old Hendricks suffered the first back-to-back losses of his career over that time, starting with a nasty first-round knockout at the hands of Stephen Thompson in February and continuing with a unanimous decision loss to Kelvin Gastelum at UFC 200.
