There is one reason that GSP is fighting Diaz and not Hendricks next.
It's not because Diaz has earned it.
It's not because Georges "asked" for it.
It's because Zuffa wants it. End of story.
Dana, Lorenzo, and the UFC brand wants this fight because it's the logical move for them to milk this fight before it's too late.
Georges wanted to fight Diaz bad, but if Hendricks was the more lucrative option, and was a total wild card who could disappear at any minute, the UFC would throw Hendricks in with GSP without a second thought, and start their wonderful marketing of "This guy is the #1 contender, Georges hasn't fought anyone like this before"
How many of you guys honestly don't see this? Ever since the Diaz news was announced and this "GSP said Diaz", everyone here ate it up like Georges' opinion actually mattered to a guy like Dana.
DANA wanted Diaz. He's the boss, and he makes decisions, not GSP.
