Johny Hendricks Johny Hendricks ’ 265-day layoff ahead of his UFC 181 rematch with Robbie Lawler marks his longest break from competition since his September 2007 debut. Hendricks (16-2 MMA, 11-2 UFC) has not fought since undergoing surgery to repair a torn bicep following his UFC 171 victory over Lawler (24-10 MMA, 9-4 UFC). The “Fight of the Year” candidate earned him the UFC’s then-vacant 170-pound title. Even though he’ll enter the octagon following the longest hiatus of his career, Hendricks’ layoff was supposed to be even longer, as his rematch with Lawler was originally targeted for 2015 before being reshuffled to UFC 181.
