UFC President Dana White confirmed that Johny Hendricks is now a middleweight after missing weight for his fight at UFC 192 with Tyron Woodley. He would have to cut over twenty pounds to make welterweight.

In the past Hendricks would cut a lot of weight to make 170 with the help of professional nutritionists, but this time he didn’t go that way.
Fellow UFC middleweight Tim Kennedy took a shot at Hendricks and welcomed him to the division.
Welcome to the middleweight division @JohnyHendricks #weightwatchers #weightcut #UFC192
