Hendricks: Lawler ‘more dangerous fight’ than GSP
Johny Hendricks: “You really have to make sure that you stay focused, cross all your t’s and dot all your i‘s, and make sure that you stay solid. That’s a lot more dangerous fight.
Georges St-Pierre arguably gave Johny Hendricks the toughest fight of his UFC career and his first loss in two years at the time they fought. As good as St-Pierre is, Hendricks believes his fight with Robbie Lawler at UFC 171 is a tougher matchup:
“Georges, you knew that he was going to throw a jab, a high kick, a low kick, and try to take you down. That’s his gameplan,” Hendricks said. “Robbie, if you make a mistake, we’ve seen it time and time again, he can knock you out. So you really have to make sure that you stay focused, cross all your t’s and dot all your i‘s, and make sure that you stay solid. That’s a lot more dangerous fight.
“But those are also the more fun fights for me. You don’t know what’s going to happen. All you know is that you’re going to step into an Octagon and you hopefully get your hand raised.”
