Johny Hendricks WILL NOT fight until he gets a Title-shot

[GusBrooks]

He also failed a drug test on purpose, ruined a fight due to his personality, he retired..

I don't think Diaz started smoking pot to intentionally fail his drug test I think he's been doing that everyday for a long time.

 

[parker2004]

robbery decision against koscheck.

Lmao.

 

[randomalias]

Problem is that he is essentially saying 'I might not be the best contender, so I don't want to fight and have that exposed before I get my shot'.

 

[Break Brick]

Not a wise move. It's not like he has the big name recognition or draw power to be calling shots and sitting shit out. Take it on the chin, if you're that confident knock another challenger out, take another paycheque and get the next shot when this fight is done. Dont be a fucking martyr

 

[Omni**]

he beat a guy that barely won a fight with Alves due to lazy takedown after being overconfident. Before that he beat Fitch, who hadnt won in like 2 years (beating alves) . Then before that, lost to Kos. He deserves it more than Nick? bullshit

 

[That209]

Do people not understand that GSP ASKED for this fight? why is Diaz the one getting shit on? GSP doesn't like him, he really doesn't and he wants to fight him. Stop whining. Holy shit. Johny will get his title shot soon enough.

 

[drainbamage]

tiss would suck if Hendricks waits out the Diaz fight only to have GSP/Silva set up next (as Silva originally was talking about mid summer anyways)

 

[PabloZed]

Dana said he plans to have Hendricks fight in the interim. That is also the best decision for the fighter.

 

[Presinator]

Hendricks could be waiting a long while.

Its just kinda pathetic that A guy with two top 5 wins and another top 10 win in a row is getting screwed out of his title shot for a guy that is coming off a loss, suspension and has never even beaten a top 10 WW in the UFC

 

[bosox32]

What happened to fighter just fighting whoever is in front of them? So much mid-tier guys crying for title shots. Just keep winning and it'll happen.

 

[Saskatoonmike**]

sitting out is smart as there is a 70% chance Diaz does not make the fight and he needs to stay available.

 

[FLomega]

idk Hendricks can be stubborn and he has every right to be. He's been knocking out the best WW fighters so i think he holds the power in this situation

nope. not at all. dana could cut hendricks tomorrow and it wouldn't make a bit of difference to the ufc. gsp fights diaz, then either a superfight with silva or maybe maia if he beats fitch. then who knows who's gona be the top contender at that point. johnny had a good year but let's not act like he's some special kinda guy

 

[Dbreiden83080]

So in other words you are scared you'll lose...

 

[Chelsea Grin]

Since Diaz is getting the next title shot, I think they should have him fight Condit in the mean time.

Or possibly McDonald once he beats Penn.

 

[Whitestallion]

he's got two nice knockouts and a robbery decision against koscheck.

while his case for a title shot is decent, he's not so clearly the #1 that he deserves to sit out. Stop being a diva and fight.

He's not a MORE CLEAR #1 then anyone else @ WW ?

WTF are you smoking kid?

 

[DaleBoca]

So I guess the UFC gives title shots to people who come off loses now. Aright...

 

[riitzni]

Hey if he's got the money to sit out, more power to him.

Like George Costanza, he's got Hand. And he's gonna need it.

 

[Dbreiden83080]

Since Diaz is getting the next title shot, I think they should have him fight Condit in the mean time.

Or possibly McDonald once he beats Penn.

Condit will tool Hendricks. He is not well rounded.. I predict he starts falling in love with that left hand like Koscheck did with his right hand..

 

[SterlcvkSilva]

of course i know that, when did i say i didn't? In fact i mentioned that he should start shit talking because that gets shots now a days.

you seemed a bit bitter, like I used to be. I guess it's just better to just watch the fights and go with the flow rather than hoping the real #1 contenders get the shot.
