#2 Johny ‘Big Rigg’ Hendricks
Trending
Johny Hendricks is a smart man. He was a good amateur wrestler and went on to win the UFC Welterweight title. He got a chance to live the ‘good life’. And the good life caught up to him. He invested a lot of money in his (now closed) Bigg Rigg Steakhouse and went on to eat steak after steak, in the lead-up to his fights. Bad idea!

Hendricks missed weight for his October 2015 fight against Tyron Woodley (he blamed that on deer meat), he missed weight again for his UFC 200 fight against Kelvin Gastelum. Hendricks came in at 173.5 pounds (2.5 pounds overweight) for his non-title match-up against Neil Magny. He had previously suffered a close call at UFC 171 against Robbie Lawler.
What’s hilarious is that Hendricks is a man who boasts about his fitness in the lead-up to every fight and then blames his weight issues for every bad weight-cut or bad performance that he has. Hendricks has blamed his bad weight-cuts for his poor showings against Lawler and Gastelum.
Most recently Hendricks challenged the media members present at a UFC 206 pre-fight press conference, to a weight-cutting challenge. And then, he himself went on to badly miss weight for his fight on the same card.
From maintaining a steady diet of deer meat, steaks and bacon while cutting weight; to challenging common persons on weight-cutting and failing to himself make weight as a professional. Johny Hendricks bags the number 2 (no pun intended) spot on our list with pride.
