Scheduled to compete against Paolo Costa in a Middleweight encounter, Hendricks who had a history of missing weight seemingly believed he had failed to make weight yet again.
Jumping the gun, Hendricks had his excuses planned prior to stepping on the scales. He told the onlooking media all the reasons why he was set to miss weight, including a curious excuse regarding his choice of underwear. He asked the journalists present not to write anything negative about his failure to make the 186 Ibs weight limit.
Then Hendricks stepped on the scales and made weight by 0.2Ibs. Oh dear! He was left embarrassed by his pre-weigh in speech and ensured he gave the media something else to write about!
