Even though welterweight Johny Hendricks is more or less the consensus #1 contender it seems as though the heavy-handed grappler is third when it comes to fighters being linked to a future fight with divisional champion Georges St-Pierre. Not only has GSP been the target of legitimate legend Anderson Silva over the past few months, but Nick Diaz has recently emerged as a possibility considering the past issues between the two.
Hendricks recently decided to offer up his thoughts on the rumors of St-Pierre looking elsewhere for a challenge and was uncharacteristically upset, albeit understandably so…
“Here is a guy is trying to pull out a curveball saying, ‘We really don’t think we can win with this guy, but we think we can beat Nick Diaz.’ That’s what it sounds like to me.”
“He’s trying to keep money from my kids. If I win that belt and take it from him, my life changes. He’s trying to not give me the fair shot. That’s crazy to me to think this guy is trying to control my future. That makes me want to win that much even more.”
“I’m not going to fight unless it’s for a belt. Nothing else matters but the belt. My last three fights were guys in the top five, and I finished two of those three fights. I stated my claim. My stock’s really high right now, and the only thing left is to get a shot at that belt.”

This guy is an idiot. Nick Diaz poses more of a threat to GSP than this one trick pony. He’s just a left handed Josh Koscheck – a wrestler with a heavy overhand. Nobody wants to see GSP smash this bum. We want GSP vs Diaz or GSP vs Anderson. Period. Can’t believe this idiot is so delusional to say “He thinks he can beat Diaz, but it’s just because he knows he can’t beat me.” Get outta here with that garbage, you delusional one trick pony. Nobody wants to see GSP jab to death a left handed Josh Koscheck. Plain & simple. So shut the fuck up, Hendricks… nobody cares about you & you aren’t a threat to GSP, wouldn’t even be a challenge. GSP wants to fight Diaz because it’s a challenge & it’s a big money fight. NOBODY would pay to see a left handed Josh Koscheck get destroyed by GSP. This guy is delusional… damn RETARD.
one trick pony hes a three two time division 1 wrestling champ and all american gsp cant take hime down. and gsp dosent have that knock out power , and didnt diaz just lose to condit ,and his brother just got dominated by henderson
I can’t believe he thinks he is ducking him. What a troll ! All #1 had their shot and get dominated by GSP. So he is not different that anyone else. He will get his shot but not by trash talking. GSP is not stupid enough to fall into this trollling attempt.
He’s the third contender for a reason; he’s legit but that’s it. Not a lot to hype for the huge bucks. Anderson and Nick, on the other hand; either could bring in huge money and both have good reason.
MMA’s unpredictable and fighters get hurt everyday, so Hendricks could still get a shot soon. Plus, Silva’s doing the movie and doesn’t feel like fighting ’til the end of next year. GSP holds all the cards at this point.
I love it.
agree with him 100%.
can’t wait to see hendricks knock georges’ ass out!
Dream on, kid.
deserves a shot, but will ultimately come up short.
It is up to Dana…GSP is ready either way.
Crazy to see Hendricks talk trash!
I don’t think GSP is scared of him, he just wants $$$$$.
Good for Hendricks. Glad to see him stand up for himself.
