Johny
Hendricks, on “Beatdown,”
discussing the UFC
158 welterweight title bout between Georges St.
Pierre and Nick
Diaz:
“I want GSP to win because I want to fight GSP. Don’t get me wrong: If Diaz wins, then I’ll want to fight Nick Diaz. But I would like to really fight GSP right now. ... I’m in it for a belt. He’s done this to me, and if he goes out there and loses, I’m not going to say, ‘I want to fight GSP. I don’t want a belt. I want to fight GSP.’ I want a shot at the title. That’s all that matters to me is taking that belt home.”
