Johny Hendricks vs. ????????? for VACANT WW Title?

[MDoza]

If GSP is going to "walk away for a while", he needs to vacate the UFC WW Title. Simple as that.

Given that he vacates or that an interim-title fight is held, who should Johny Hendricks fight?

-Tyron Woodley was very impressive tonight against Kos.
-Robbie Lawler is on a hot streak with a nice win over a very hyped Rory Macdonald
-Hector Lombard looked good in his last outing.
-Carlos Condit fought Hendricks to a close decision and is definitely deserving of rematch for the belt.

Who would you like to see Johny Hendricks fight for the WW Title? Who has the best chance at defeating Hendricks now that GSP is out of the picture?

 

[hutchens]

Hendricks vs Lawler
Condit vs brown for #1 contender
i think thats what ufc should do
See Lawler losing to Hendricks, they would trade and Hendricks would get his tds going and probably get a 3rd round tko
Condit kills Brown, KO in 2nd
Condit Hendricks 2 goes the same as their first fight but with the extra two round Condit takes control in 3rd and picks him apart for a dec or late stoppage
of course all hypothecial

 

[Lyotosmustache]

Diaz would want that fight

 

[Conan Lerehcob]

Hendricks vs Lawler
Condit vs brown for #1 contender

Ben Askren. Not because he deserves or anything but him and Hendricks have been jawing for years and should've wrestled in college

 

[DoUEvenLiftBro]

I say they have a tournament with seeding

1. Johnny Hendricks
vs
8. Jake Shields

4. Rory MacDonald
vs
5 Hector Lombard

3. Robbie Lawler
vs
6. Jake Ellenberger

2. Carlos Condit
vs
7. Tyrone Woodley

 

[BroncoMcKart]

Hendricks v. Lawler should be the no-brainer.

 

[TheComebackKid]

Condit

 

[Dumbandpoor]

I think Jake Shields wins make him the most deserving that said Lawler would be awesome.

 

[PAPERCLIP30]

The condit rematch.


I think condit would've won if their fight was 5 rounds

 

[TeamTanner]

Hendricks vs. Lawler for vacant or interim title


Condit/Brown for #1 contender


Who can argue with that?

 

[Lethal_Striker]

Lawler should get preference over Woodley, just because Tyron lost to Shields not too long ago.

 

[emelianenkoNog]

One thing is for sure WW is a lot more interesting without it's long time champion

 

[dawnslayer]

hendricks lawler for fireworks.

condit crushes the winner.

condit champ until his chin fails him.

 

[Victor]

I think Jake Shields wins make him the most deserving that said Lawler would be awesome.

gtfo with shields

hendricks vs either ruthless or condit/brown winner for vacant WW title

 

[Towelie by TKO]

Matt Brown coming for that belt. Welterweight division just got blown wide open with Rory losing and GSP semi-retiring.

Ww gp

Brown? Wait...Matt Brown? for #1 contender? Hell no..WTF

How I would set up the tournament

Hendricks vs Lawler (Interim Title)

Condit vs Brown (#1 contender)

Shields vs Lombard (Fights Winner of Fight Below)

Woodley vs Kampmann (Fights Winner of Fight Above)
