Hendricks: I want GSP next
Johny Hendricks: “There’s only one person I’d like to fight, and I’m pretty sure everybody knows who that is…And that’s Georges St-Pierre.”
After winning the UFC welterweight title, Johny Hendricks is the man to beat in the division. However, what’s not sure is who he should fight next. Nick Diaz has asked for the title shot, as have Hector Lombard and Tyron Woodley. But who would Hendricks himself like to fight next?:
I want to remember what it felt like to get it, and I want to feel what it feels like to get the next one, he said. I’m still 0-0. Yeah, I was able to do something great on Saturday, but realistically, I’ve got to turn right back around and do it again if I want to stay champ. I want to get back and see how my body is doing and start moving forward.
As for who Hendricks would like to be standing opposite him when he returns to the cage, an old familiar name is at the top of the list.
There’s only one person I’d like to fight, and I’m pretty sure everybody knows who that is, he said. And that’s Georges St-Pierre. I would like to get back into the octagon with him. If that can happen, then I want that. So that’s what I’m really shooting for.
