Filed under: Featured , Featured Videos , News , Radio Highlight , UFC , Videos Johny Hendricks is both leaving wiggle room to backtrack and doubling down on a recent statement that his UFC 207 showdown with Neil Magny could be the final contest of his career. Hendricks (17-5 MMA, 12-5 UFC), the former UFC welterweight champion, has dropped four of his past six fights including currently sitting on back-to-back losses for the first time in his MMA career. He recently told ESPN that another defeat at the hands of Magny (18-5 MMA, 11-4 UFC) at UFC 207 would be the final straw for him, but now it appears that’s not necessarily true. According to “Bigg Rigg,” who today appeared on MMAjunkie Radio, it’s not only the losses that have caused him to consider hanging up his gloves. Instead, it’s the responsibility of helping his wife take care of their four children that could spell the end of his athletic career. “As soon as my wife says, ‘Honey, I want you home more,’ that’s when I’m done,” Hendricks said.
