Morning Report: Free agent Johnny Hendricks says UFC wants him back at welterweight

In 2014, Johnny Hendricks was on top of the world as the UFC welterweight champion. Now, just a few years later, Hendricks has lost six of his last eight fights, including a failed move to middleweight that has seen him knocked out in his last two fights. But though to many it would appear that Hendricks is nearing the end of his career, “Big Rigg” disagrees.

In a recent interview with MMAJunkie Radio, Hendricks, who is currently a free agent, says that he still has a lot of fight left in him but that he wants to return back to the weight class in which he won the title, and the UFC wants the same.
