HALIFAX – Johny Hendricks found a little extra pop in his new weight class, and that may have made the difference against Hector Lombard down the stretch. With an attack that only seemed to get stronger as the fight wore on, Hendricks (18-6 MMA, 13-6 UFC) outpointed Lombard (34-7-1 MMA, 3-5 UFC) on all three judges’ scorecards, winning by unanimous decision with scores of 30-27, 30-27, and 29-28. “At welterweight I couldn’t move like that in my last three fights, I just couldn’t,” Hendricks said. “All of a sudden, there were 30 seconds left and I started bouncing around, and I was like ‘The only way he’s going to beat me is if he knocks me out.’ I found my weight class.
