After getting three back to back wins over Fitch, Koscheck, and a very impressive showing over Kampmann, he should be the bona fide #1 contender. And now he'll have to fight again before facing GSP. I'm not complaining too much though, because now I get to see GSP fuck Diaz up for 5 rounds.
BJ/Rory is the real main-event for me. I can't wait for that fight. Even at the press conference, everybody seemed excited much more for that fight then any other on the card.
If Hendricks just won a "Title Eliminator" in 40sec by knock out, how the fuck can they not give him GSP.
-Bones defending against 2 middle weights in a row.
-Anderson vs Bonnar (A "fun" fight)
Seems to be an influx bullshit. Now GSP gets to pick an opponent coming off a loss. UFC booking is turning into WWE.

Now, go ahead. Tell me she died of cancer. Tell me she was in a car crash. Tell me she can only move her fucking eyelids. Yeah, why don't you tell me some sentimental bullshit that will make me 'ashamed' of what I just said.
You pricks are all the same, and if we met in real life I'd bury my boot up your ass. I get more sex than you, little man. So pogo on that you stupid cunt.
To be fair, Anderson fought Bonnar to save the card, not because he wanted to. Same with Jones. No one else would take the fight. Shogun rejected, Machida rejected, even Rashad rejected. Sonnen would fight but UFC felt that if they did that in Toronto, it would ruin their relationship with the MGM Grand chain. Vitor was the only guy who stepped up.
Nick Diaz is no slouch in competition. I'm sure the only reason GSP is asking for Diaz is so that he can kick his ass, because Diaz is a tough guy in any case of the matter. But I still agree that Hendricks should've gotten the shot.
GSP might be ducking Hendricks a bit. Hendricks is a much tougher fight than Diaz, style-wise.
Hendricks has KO power, and is a great wrestler. I can see him giving GSP fits.
Not surprised that GSP wants Diaz first. GSP should be able to takedown Diaz at will.
I don't think GSP is ducking Hendricks. Many people are mesmerized with the two recent KO's but I, and many others, think that Kos beat him. Many feel Pierce beat him as well, and he lost to Rick Story, so he hasn't really looked that good in the fights where he hasn't knocked the other guy out in the last 6-7 fights.
I give Hendricks a puncher's chance against GSP, nothing more. I just don't see why GSP would avoid Hendricks, but we do know that GSP really wants to fight Nick because he feels disrespected (Dana even said that he's never seen GSP that angry after Diaz called him out).
GSP has far better striking defense than Fitch and Kampmann and he's far better at BJJ than Kos, who controlled Hendricks well on the ground in their third round.
While I do think that Hendricks is the one that deserves the title shot I think Diaz poses more of new test for GSP. Hendricks is pretty close to Kos, just with more power but less explosiveness and worse grappling. Diaz has a style that's not similar to anyone GSP has already faced and he'll keep attacking both standing and from the bottom.

Looking over the Welterweight division I'd say Hendricks and MacDonald are the only ones that look to have ANY chance against GSP. Obviously he knows it. Very keen on this weekends card. A title fight, Penn/MacDonald finally, and Shogun and Swick, two of my favorite fighters in action. Oh, and it's not gonna cost me the usual $45. Beautiful.
By the way I realize GSP/MacDonald won't happen. Shame.
