\"Lawler-Hendricks-II\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“Because, realistically, look at my last couple of years. I fight in March, it\u2019s either the 14th, 15th or the 16th. And I always fight in either late-November or early-December. So realistically it\u2019s playing perfect for my timeline. So there\u2019s things I can get better on. Yeah, my weight went well. There\u2019s just some things, I\u2019m making tweaks. And now that I know in my eyes that it\u2019s going to be Robbie Lawler, we\u2019re already training for that. That\u2019s what sort of makes me happy is I\u2019m going to train for him. Yeah, he\u2019s got to take some time to recover. In my mind we\u2019re going to fight in late-November or early-December, which is fine with me. That just gives me more time to get my weight under control and get my skills a little bit more prepared for the fight.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Former UFC welterweight champion Johny Hendricks spoke with The MMA Hour <\/a>and said he is willing to wait for Robbie Lawler to heal up from his scrap with Rory MacDonald, then wants a rubber match with the champ.<\/p>\n
