Newly minted UFC welterweight champ Johny Hendricks (16-2 MMA, 11-2 UFC) is expected to undergo surgery next week for a torn bicep he suffered prior to his title-winning bout against Robbie Lawler (22-10 MMA, 7-4 UFC), and he could be sidelined between two and three months. Hendricks today told Los Angeles radio station KROQ that he sustained the bicep injury less than two weeks prior to his headliner at UFC 171, which took place this past Saturday in Dallas, and also suffered a fractured shin in the first round of his title fight. His longtime manager, Ted Erhardt, confirmed the injuries and expected recovery window to MMAjunkie. In an interview Monday with MMAFighting.com , Hendricks said he suffered an elbow injury and contemplated backing out prior to the grueling five-round pay-per-view fight.
