<p>The first fight between Johny Hendricks and Robbie Lawler ended in a decision for Hendricks. Lawler recently said he <a href="http://www.mixedmartialarts.com/news/448912/Lawler-I-want-it-to-be-one-sided/" target="_blank">wanted to finish Hendricks</a> and keep the judges out of it, and coincidentally so does Hendricks:</p>
“I want to be exciting,” the 31-year-old says with a smile on his face. “There’s many ways to make money in the UFC. How many people are around today because they put on great fights? As soon as they step into that Octagon they’re fighting. That’s my reputation and that’s what I want to do: finish fights and keep fans on the edge of their seats.”
At UFC 181, Hendricks believes he has the perfect dance partner to win yet another “Fight of the Night” award, even though he’d prefer “Knockout of the Night.”
“My last three fights, I haven’t been able to get a knockout and that’s what I want,” he says. “I know Robbie is thinking about a knockout too. We’re that type of fighter. We can both take and give punches and that’s what is exciting about this.”
ChipW - I like to watch Hendricks fight but I've heard from guys who wrestled around his time that he is a major asshole.
I don't have to eat dinner with him though, just watch him fight, so I'm a fan
Some pecker head cut me off in traffic the other day. I decided to catch up with him and give him a piece of my mind. Sped the hell up till I was next to the driver window all puffed up and raging. Guess who the hell was driving that big ass "Rigg" Needless to say I was deflated and calm faster than anytime before in my life.
After watching the countdown to 181, did anybody else think Hendricks looked kinda outa shape?
Love Hendricks and want him win but his boxing looked kinda sloppy and slow. Maybe the camera crew just caught him at a bad time but I wasn't really confident in him after seeing that.
Lawler on the other hand looked pretty damn impressive. His striking and movement looked sharp and on point.
I'm kinda thinking that Lawler is gonna take this with all the momentum he has coming into this fight.
