That\u2019s something that I can definitely use against him. And the way that he throws punches \u2013 I\u2019m not gonna get into too much of the details because some of it is my gameplan \u2013 but the way that he does certain things, I have figured out, I\u2019ve watched the footage and I think I\u2019ve figured out how to use that against him. And I really, really hope that he is gonna fight that way, but I\u2019ve also prepared for a guy who knows that I can hit hard, that knows that he\u2019s sparred me before and it didn\u2019t go well. So what I\u2019m thinking is that he might do a little bit of both, where he\u2019s going to try to come out and see if he can set up himself to be a forward fighter and come forward. And once I do what I\u2019m supposed to do and once I do all that, then he will turn into a guy that might try to throw a couple of punches and run.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In less than two weeks, at UFC 200, former welterweight champion Johny Hendricks will square off against Kelvin Gastelum in a pivotal welterweight matchup.
