5 Predictions For UFC 192

2. Johny Hendricks vs. Tyron Woodley

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_0uUA4niZ0 Weight Class: Welterweight The co-main event of the evening is a bit of a grudge match. Tyron Woodley (15-3) wrestled Johny Hendricks (17-3) back in their school days, taking the loss to Big Rig, something that doesn't seem to have sat right with him. Woodley would go on to Strikeforce, then the UFC. Hendricks would beat him to the UFC, and would lose to Georges St. Pierre for the welterweight title before defeating Robbie Lawler for the vacant belt after GSP retired. After losing it right back to Lawler, Hendricks got back on track recently by defeating Matt Brown, while Woodley is currently on a two-fight win streak. Will Woodley be able to avenge the old wrestling loss? It seems it might be under his skin a little, but that may just be the UFC marketing machine. Hendricks will represent one of the toughest fights to date for Woodley (aside from Carlos Condit, who wound up injured in their bout). It's another close fight, with Hendricks the favourite, but an upset wouldn't be surprising. That said, look for Hendricks to score a decision win.
