Fans were happy to see that a former hunter who achieved great success in the Octagon found a new career path.
Modern Fight -fans may not remember how feared Johny Hendricks was during his best years in the Welterweight Division of the UFC.
His series of impressive victories and knockouts led 'Bigg Rigg' to a classic title fight with Georges St-Pierre that many still believe that Hendricks should have won.
The Run of the American in the UFC came to an awkward end in 2017, with Paulo Costa Hendricks dismantled on UFC 217 in a fight that Joe Rogan claimed was 'an attack'.
After a bare knuckle -box fight in 2018, the former Welterweight champion hung up the gloves and started a career outside fighting that he still maintains to this day.

Fans like to respond to the photo of Johny Hendricks who work as a police officer in Texas
After officially announcing his retirement of MMA in June 2018, Johny Hendricks stated that he would like to use his highly credited wrestling background as a coach.
The 41-year-old participated 21 times in the Achthoek, but his career path finally took him away from his combat background after he had left the UFC.
Hendricks became a police officer in Texas with a recent photo of 'Big Rigg' at work on social media and surprising fans.
Although many of the reactions refer to the different highlights and lows of his MMA career, many people were happy to see that the former champion after fighting could successfully go to a new chapter.
As different answers have noticed, the former UFC star who fought from Georges St-Pierre, Robbie Lawler and Carlos Condit can look like a modest officer, but he is far from that.

'That guy is a beast, would not want to be on the other side of the law with which he is confronted. Deep respect '
“Hell yeaaaaaaahhh !!”
'Yes, it is best to simply meet this officer'
“Good career movement for him.”
