Cory Hendricks is the last Las Vegan standing in The Ultimate Fighter tournament.

Winning one more fight would earn Hendricks a spot in the season 23 finale where he could vie for a six-figure contract with the UFC. But, he’s grappling with a neck injury that could prevent him from competing.

In this episode, Hendricks found out that he has compressed discs in his neck. Though he is slated to face Josh Stansbury in the semi-finals, Hendricks is fighting through a tremendous amount of pain.

Will he be able to continue?
