Former UFC Welterweight Champion Johny Hendricks was overfilled with joy following his win on Sunday.
At a UFC Fight Night event in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada, Hendricks made his middleweight debut in the co-main event. The former UFC champion fought former Bellator Middleweight Champion Hector Lombard.
After three round of back-and-forth action, Hendricks managed to pick up a unanimous decision win over Lombard.
In the video above, Hendricks is clearly excited to pick up a win in the UFC. He even accidentally curses on live television. Hendricks shares his thoughts on Lombard, fighting in Canada, and the differences at fighting at middleweight compared to fighting as a welterweight.
This win snapped a three-fight losing streak as a welterweight for Hendricks. He was close to retiring before deciding to move up to 185 pounds. This impressive win, over a highly touted opponent, has rejuvenated the career of the former welterweight champion.
