Johnny Hendricks on Georges St-Pierre’s Return: “I Can’t Wait to Retire Him Again”

Submission Radio recently interviewed former UFC welterweight champion Johny Hendricks, who commented on the pending return of MMA for former welterweight king Georges St-Pierre. Hendricks lost a very controversial decision in a title bout to GSP way back in 2013. GSP took a sabbatical from the sport after the fight. Below are some highlights.

Hendricks on wanting to retire GSP again: “I can’t wait to retire him again. That’s really what I’ve been thinking. You know, I told him, I have no disrespect for the guy. He did amazing things. But three years out of it, you know, things have changed. And he said that I’m washed out. Well, guess what? It’s a new Johny at 185. And I cannot wait for him to see; I can’t wait to see how this happens.”

Hendricks on wanting to run the fight again: “Because win or lose, I think he should come after me. I think I should get that loss back. Realistically, you know, it is what it is, but I would like to do it again. I really do. And this time, he thought I was strong at 170? Wait until he feels me at 185 when I’m not killing myself to make weight, when I’m not killing myself just to focus on my weight cut. What is he going to think after the 185-pound match, when I’m totally focused on one thing and one thing only, doing what I did but better? That’s really where my head’s at, is right there.”
