UFC Welterweight Champion Johny Hendricks has discussed the possibility of rematching with MMA legend Georges St-Pierre. Speaking at a media luncheon this week, Hendricks stated It could be dangerous for him to come back ." The first time the two men fought, at UFC 167 in November 2013, St-Pierre won a very close decision. Many fans booed the result, as they felt that Hendriks had done enough to win over five rounds. The old saying "never leave it in the hands of the judges" comes to mind. St-Pierre then disappeared from the sport, vacating the Welterweight title. As a result, Hendricks was able to fight for the vacant title against Robbie Lawler at UFC 171 in March of this year. Hendricks won that fight, becoming the champion in a decision victory. Hendricks and Lawler will rematch this weekend at UFC 181, and then the spectre of GSP could end up revealing itself. It would make a lot of sense if UFC could do the deal, as Hendricks deserves his moment of vengeance over St-Pierre. If GSP doesnt come back it doesnt hurt my legacy, Hendricks said, I cant worry about that, the division is stacked. In my mind he was more of a name and hype, he added, They put him on a pedestal. When I got in there, I wanted to make sure I shut all that down and show them hes not the wrestler everyone thinks he is. I think he comes back if I lose, thats just what I believe. Words like this definitely stir the pot, making fans desire Hendricks vs GSP 2 even more. However, the Welterweight champion better make sure he isn't looking past Robbie Lawler this weekend. Lawler will headline UFC 181 with Hendricks, in what is promising to be rip roaring sequel to their earlier battle. Also on the card will be Anthony Pettis defending his lightweight title against Gilbert Melendez.
