UFC 192: Johny Hendricks will remind people why UFC fighters are scared of his hands

Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) welterweight champion Johny Hendricks is still sore over the fact that matchmakers passed him over for a 170-pound title shot -- despite being ranked No. 1 in the world -- for a lesser-ranked fighter who is just 2-3 over his last five.

That's probably why "Bigg Rigg" is looking to make a statement when he fights Tyron Woodley (who also holds a win over Carlos Condit) at the upcoming UFC 192 pay-per-view (PPV) event, which takes place on Oct. 3, 2015 inside Toyota Center in Houston, Texas.

From his conversation with Sherdog.

"Don't get me wrong, I say this a lot: You're only as good as your last fight. The only thing is, my last five or six fights have all been top five or better. Carlos Condit came off of a year and he fights No. 12. Thiago Alves is a tough dude, he is, but he's not a top five dude. Guess what? I can go back in there, get another win. I can showcase why I'm No. 1, and why they shouldn't have given a No. 4 ranked [fighter a title shot] over a No. 1 ranked. People [are going] to relearn why they are scared of my hands. My combinations, my kicks, everything's looking good. It's time to focus back on power -- hitting somebody and seeing if they can withstand that punch."

Not many can.

Hendricks (17-3) made a name for himself inside the Octagon by registering bone-crushing knockout wins over some of the division's top talents. In addition to burying Jon Fitch at UFC 141, he toe-tagged Martin Kampmann at UFC 154, which led to his first title shot.

And as it stands, his last finish.
