Former UFC welterweight champion Johny Hendricks has a big fight ahead of him on February 6th, as he battles Stephen Thompson in the UFC 196 co-main event. Part 1 is to actually make weight, and part 2 is to win vs. Thompson and further his case for a title shot and a chance to become champion again. But this post isn't about Hendricks vs. Wonderboy, there will be several opportunities to discuss that intriguing matchup over the next several days.

Last January, Hendricks opened "Bigg Rigg Steakhouse" (leased in a strip mall plaza) in his hometown of Midlothian, Texas. When interviewed last year about his venture into the immensely difficult restaurant business (more specifically, the Texas steakhouse business), he said it was a way of giving back to the community. Prices ranged from "$13 eight-ounce sirloin to a $21 for a 16-ounce T-Bone."

Well after just 1 year, "Bigg Rigg Steakhouse" is no longer. Hendricks confirmed to Dallas Morning News that his restaurant is finished.

What happened to Bigg Rigg Steakhouse, your restaurant near your home in Midlothian? Hendricks: Restaurant is done. I tried a business that failed; you learn from it and move forward. So what else on the side are you working on? Hendricks: I thought about a reality show. I want to try to start Baja truck racing. I want to do hunting and fishing.

Hendricks never expanded on what happened, but reviews on food quality and customer service were not kind to him, whether on Yelp or Facebook. One can speculate that the business probably wasn't making any money, which goes hand-in-hand with the mixed-to-poor reviews.

Hopefully a valuable lesson has been learned from this brief stint as a restaurateur. Don't mess with Texas, especially when it comes to steak.
