UFC 167′s Johny Hendricks: When I’m in there, my goal is to break someone’s jaw

BAD MMA News — Tue, 30 Jul 2013 04:00:00 +0000

LAS VEGAS – Johny Hendricks has a very simple plan for upsetting Georges St-Pierre and earning the UFC’s welterweight title. The challenger plans on walking through the champ’s vaunted jab before launching a counterattack he thinks will put “GSP” to sleep. “I don’t want to take ‘GSP’ down,” Hendricks said at Monday’s UFC World Tour 2013 stop in Las Vegas. “I want to lay him out. That’s all I want to do. That’s what the fans want to see, and I know I have the power in both hands to do it.” Hendricks (15-1 MMA, 10-1 UFC) and St-Pierre (24-2 MMA, 18-2 UFC) meet in the main event of UFC 167, which takes place Nov. 16 at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena and airs on pay-per-view

UFC 162 results/photos: Andrew Craig outpaces Chris Leben to take split decision

LAS VEGAS – The heart was there for Chris Leben, but sometimes that’s just not enough. That was the case on Saturday for Leben against Andrew Craig, who picked his strikes carefully, landed accurately and outstruck Leben on his way to a split-decision win. The middleweight bout closed out the preliminary card of today’s UFC 162 event at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. It aired on FX ahead of a main card on pay-per-view. Leben tied Craig up early and started working punches to the body with Craig’s back against the cage. He then dropped to look for a single-leg takedown, but Craig stayed on his feet – and that pattern would repeat several times throughout the fight. Craig landed a knee to the body to finally get Leben to break. But Leben came back strong right away with a right hand, then went after the takedown again and got the fight to the floor momentarily.

Upon losing his second fight in three bouts and being released from Bellator, welterweight Steve Carl knew he had to make some changes if he was going to get back on track. Specifically, Carl felt his mindset needed to change if he was going to return to being a successful fighter. “After the fight with Douglas (Lima) I took a step back and figured if I’m going to do this, I need to get in there and just let myself do it,” said Carl. “I was on a year break before I fought Douglas, and once I got in the cage, I was nervous, I was hesitant and I thought I was going to lose that fight going into it and fought that way.
