Johny Hendricks, who fights in March for the UFC's vacant welterweight title, would like to retire as a middleweight.
That's according to the man himself, who told Elias Cepeda of Yahoo! Sports in an interview published Saturday that he'd be interested in eventually moving up a weight classs.
"Yes, once I can get through my weight class, I would love to retire at 185," Hendricks said in the interview.

"Hendricks isn't tall at all for welterweight but the fighter still walks around at about 220 lbs in between fights. That means he cuts down a total of about fifty pounds from the start of training camp to weigh-ins in order to make the 170lb welterweight limit."
