Peak ratings
By edition
Hendricks authored a rise from 2011 to 2013, knocking out Jon Fitch in 12 seconds, flattening Martin Kampmann in 46 seconds, and out-wrestling Carlos Condit at UFC 158 before pushing champion Georges St-Pierre to a controversial split decision at UFC 167 in Las Vegas. His NCAA Division I wrestling and left-hand knockout power are reflected in an 87 Boxing and 93 Wrestling.
Hendricks captured the vacant UFC Welterweight Championship in March 2014 at UFC 171 in Dallas, defeating Robbie Lawler in a five-round fight before dropping the belt to Lawler in a split-decision rematch at UFC 181 and defeating Matt Brown by unanimous decision at UFC 185. His power punching hooks, low takedowns, and championship grit justify his 88 Boxing and 93 Wrestling.
