UFC contender Johny Hendricks recently appeared on MMAjunkie Radio to announce that he is leaving his longtime management team, Team Takedown.
“(Team Takedown) has done a great job with me for the last eight years,” Hendricks said on MMAjunkie Radio. “We just couldn’t come to an agreement on certain things, and it was time for me to pull away.”
When asked about when he’ll step into the octagon again, Hendricks does have a date in mind:
“I would like to do Feb. 6,” said Hendricks, referencing UFC 196 in Las Vegas. “I don’t know if they’ve got a main event yet, but as of right now, that’s where my head’s at.”
“I’ve got to wait until I get cleared out of my management,” he said. “As soon as we break clean, that’s whenever it will give me a better understanding. As of right now, that’s what I’m shooting for. But if they say no, we want to keep you until February, I’ll probably have to fight early March.”
Hendricks had to pull out of his last scheduled fight when he had weight cutting issues before his bout with Tyron Woodley at UFC 192
