                    <p>Johnny Hendricks is the clear cut number one contender in the UFC's welterweight division and will most likely be the next opponent for Georges St-Pierre barring any crazy super fight plans. However, Hendricks knows that not only will he have to defeat GSP to earn the title, he likely may have to beat him again to solidify this title:</p>

“I’m gonna have to beat him twice. Unless I knock him out. If I manhandle him for two round and I knock him out, then there won’t be a rematch,” Hendricks explained. “But if it’s a close fight or I go out and knock him out in the first minute, yeah, there’ll be a rematch.”

That’s okay. He is so ready to face St-Pierre that the prospect of a twofer doesn’t detract from his excitement.

“I’m so excited to finally get to the Octagon and look across and there’s Georges. That’s all I can think about. That’s all I dream about every day. Words can’t explain how excited I am.”

Not to worry there, Johnny, you'll only have to fight him once.

His cardio against Condit is what makes me think he might lose.

Agreed.plus GSP doesn't lose especially when it comes to wrestling so johnny better knock him out... Phone Post 3.0

GSP needs to avoid that left bomb for 2-3 rounds then drown him in rounds 4-5. Phone Post 3.0

Hendricks is wrong.

If he beats GSP, there will ALWAYS be a rematch.

Knock him out in a minute? Rematch.

Decision? Rematch.

Stop him in the 2nd? Rematch.

The only way there is no rematch is if GSP wins.

Anything but a GSP win means a rematch, period. Phone Post

Can see this looking like the GSP v Kos fight Phone Post

8

He lost to Story and arguably Koscheck and Mike Pierce. All strong wrestlers. I don't think that he's going to look good against GSP at all.

If MMA were scored properly, he should have lost to Condit as well IMO.

Gotta say I think no matter what happens in this fight, if GSP loses he gets a rematch. He's been dominant for far too long to have him go fight guys hes already beat so he can have another shot. If Hendricks was fighting a champ that maybe only had one or two defenses I might agree but I think champs get to a point to where they earn automatic rematches.

He needs to STFU Phone Post 3.0

Johnny should really worry about how he's going to beat him once before thinking about beating him twice Phone Post 3.0

Jesus KO'd stayrad -

This, dude isn't going to beat GSP once let alone twice Phone Post 3.0

What I did there: you didn't see it.

Different fighter, same story.

14

I like Hendricks but, he will lose this fight.

Kazp306 - He really believes that he's gonna manhandle GSP? Alrighty there friend. Phone Post 3.0

Auto rematches are the reason why I lost interest in the sport. Phone Post

Condit only won the 3rd round.

You shouldn't be punished for not doing anything with takedowns when the guy on the bottom does nothing but a couple very weak sub attempts
