5 MMA Fighters Who Will Wear A UFC Belt In 2014

By Chris Turner /

2. Johny Hendricks

Bigg Rigg was so close at UFC 167. Everyone thought he had done what eight others had failed to do, beat the Legendary Georges St. Pierre for the Welterweight title. The judges, however, thought differently and scored the fight in favor of St. Pierre in a split decision. Now with GSP taking a leave of absence from MMA, and the 170-pound title up for grabs, Hendricks has the opportunity to finally become a UFC Champion. In one of 2014's most intriguing match-ups, Johny Hendricks will take on Robbie Lawler for the vacant Welterweight Championship this March, and if he can put Lawler to sleep with that powerful left hand, Bigg Rigg will redeem himself and finally wear a UFC Belt.
