#1 Johny Hendricks
Johny Hendricks’ last UFC battle really came in late 2017 – a TKO misfortune to rising star Paulo Costa – yet like Michael Bisping, ‘Bigg Rigg’ didn’t really declare his official retirement from MMA until June 2018.
The previous UFC Welterweight champion guaranteed that he’d just had enough of the “grind” of the game, and had achieved enough in his vocation to feel content.

Hardly any others contenders had such a speedy decay as Hendricks, who won the empty Welterweight title in 2014 by vanquishing Robbie Lawler. He had lost a dubious choice to long-lasting champ Georges St-Pierre in his past battle, and many felt that ‘Bigg Rigg’ would be the man to convey the division forward after GSP’s time away.
That was not to be, however – Hendricks lost the title to Lawler in his first resistance and after that went on a horrendous slide, winning only 2 of his last 7 sessions, a run that additionally observed him miss load on 3 events in spite of climbing to 185lbs in 2017. It basically looked like everything that once made Hendricks – his punching power, toughness, stamina and wrestling – essentially vanished medium-term.

Worryingly, only months in the wake of declaring his retirement, Hendricks was back in real life, yet not in MMA.
In October he reported a progress into the universe of uncovered knuckle boxing – yet was immediately thumped out by MMA apprentice Dakota Cochrane in his presentation in the game. Ideally, for his very own wellbeing, Hendricks will currently step far from battle sports for good.
