Interestingly, Hendricks has already faced one of the fighters from the new gym. In 2013, he won Carlos Condit in a tight decision right before facing Georges St Pierre by title. In the same year, “Big Rigg” lost to GSP, who retired after the duel and will only return to action now, also at UFC 217, as the main fight of the show, against Michael Bisping. After the defeat to the Canadian, Hendricks won the title against Robbie Lawler, but lost the belt in the rematch, held in 2014.
