Johny Hendricks Seizes 2nd Title Shot At UFC 171
DALLAS, Texas (AP) - Johny Hendricks bruised, bloodied and battered Georges St. Pierre last November, only to watch St. Pierre leave the UFC octagon with his welterweight title belt and a split-decision victory.
With a second chance to claim the now-vacant belt when he faces Robbie Lawler at UFC 171 in Dallas on Saturday night, Hendricks refuses to let any frustration over that loss hinder him from finally climbing atop the 170-pound division.
Although Hendricks (15-2) won't get the chance to claim the title directly from St. Pierre, he hasn't showed much disappointment behind his bearded, bespectacled, aw-shucks Oklahoma persona.
