EA Sports UFC: 10 Highest Rated Fighters

By Sam Heard /

8. Johny Hendricks

Overall: 95Striking: 95Grappling: 96 Submissions: 92 Having finally became the champion of a stacked Welterweight division full of some of the most dangerous fighters in the UFC, Johny Hendricks proved that he is worthy of the lofty rating given to him by EA. Many believed Big Rig had done enough to become the 170-lbs champ back in November with a razor-close split-decision loss to the legendary Georges St-Pierre but Hendricks was able to bounce back and beat freakishly-tough Robbie Lawler for the vacant belt after GSP stepped away from the sport. Hendricks is primarily a wrestling-based fighter being a former NCAA Division 1 All-American, justifying that 96-grappling-rating. Big Rig also has the big power his nickname hints at €“ he has power in both hands though his left-hook is particularly lethal and 8 of his 16 wins have come via KO/TKO.
