Johny Hendricks has accepted Louis Giordano’s offer and will allow him to manage his weight.

Attention Johny Hendricks fans, haters, and whoever has an opinion on his weight: Hendricks has accepted weight management specialist Louis Giordano’s offer and the welterweight division should be on notice.

Hendricks announced the news on MMAjunkie Radio.

He said, “I wanted to try something new and the way that he [Lou Giordano] explains things, and he is doing things with me, makes total sense.”

It is well documented that the former welterweight champion has had his fair share of weight cutting troubles in his UFC career.

At times, Hendricks has looked sick on the scale, not 100% while fighting, or he has missed weight from his drastic weight cut. It has been one of the only knocks on one of the best fighters in the world and one of the only things holding him back from getting back the belt that he won on at UFC 171, but lost to Robbie Lawler six months later.

However, Hendricks should no longer have those troubles under the guidance of Giordano.

Giordano’s motto is, “We don’t cut weight. We manage it.”

This will be a huge impact on Hendricks’ performance because Giordano believes that by managing his fighters weight, and not needing to have a drastic weight cut the week of the fight, that the fighter will be at 100% on fight night.

Every fighter in the 170b division should not like to hear that because Hendricks will be even scarier once the cage door closes. Hendricks is an elite wrestler and has legitimate one-punch knockout. If he can feel better than ever inside the cage, where he has compiled a 17-3 record, the sky is the limit for him.

The news was confirmed from a press release by Bryan Levick and here are some key notes from the press release.

Hendricks commented on working with Lou:

“I decided to contact Lou upon hearing about the offer he made during a recent interview,” said Hendricks. “I read the article and knew that all I had to lose was my time. We spoke on the phone and decided it made sense for him to come out to Texas. From the very start I felt very comfortable with him as did my wife Christina and our daughters. I am looking forward to making the necessary lifestyle changes needed to reclaim the UFC welterweight title. I believe working with Lou will change my game and make me even more dangerous.”

Giordano commented on working with Hendricks:

“I have been a big fan of Johny Hendricks since he came into the UFC,” Giordano stated. “I witnessed Johny struggle with his weight cuts and truly wanted to help him change his views on cutting weight. After I did the interview where I offered to work with him on a trial basis for free, we connected through an intermediary. I told him about my philosophy and what I could do to help him. I flew out there this past Thursday and spent a lot of time with Johny and his family. Not only has Johny agreed to make a lifestyle change, so has his wife, who is extremely supportive and dedicated to making all of their lives healthier. I look forward to watching Johny compete at an optimum level and achieving great success in and out of the cage.”

Giordano is best known for his work with the Ultimate Fighter 19 winner Eddie Gordon, but it was also recently announced in a press release from public relations guru, Bryan Levick, that UFC bantamweight contender Aljamain Sterling acquired the services of Giordano.

Cage Pages also spoke to Sterling about his new weight management specialist and how things have been going with Giordano.

Giordano operates under the name, Loutrition, and you can read more about his business here.

Giordano also offered his services, for free, to UFC legend B.J. Penn, but Penn has yet to respond to the offer.
