He could be waiting a long long long time.

I dont think GSP is going to fight Silva unless the $ is ungodly, but I also think it wont be Hendricks either, so yes he may be waiting awhile to feed his family. I think its going to be Diaz.

Hendricks is close to going all Chael claiming GSP is ducking him and so on. When in doubt, go public. I understand his point, but given he didnt even really break a sweat in the last fight, if it were me, I would ask for whoever just to keep fighting and making money while in prime, also to stay in easier shape/cuts.

I personally think Hendricks poses the biggest threat to beating GSP. At least in the WW class. His wrestling is top notch and his striking has been very good, good enough to not even look at take downs. I think GSP beat people like Fitch and Kos because their striking sucked so bad that he just had to stop an TD attempts they made. With Hendricks he'll have to worry about his hands and TDs. I also think Hendricks has looked a tad quicker than both Kos and Fitch.

I'm not saying he would win, I just think he's a hell of a match up for GSP and it's a fight I want to see.

Agreed. One punch KO power with wrestling pedigree.

I actually don't want to see Nick and GSP fight. We all know Nick won't be able to stop the TD and we'll get to see 5 rounds of it. It won't be close but we'll still get to see and hear from Nick about how GSP did nothing and fights like a punk.

Hendrinks however poses a threat to GSP more than any other fighter he's faced.
