UFC Welterweight
Championship
Georges St-Pierre (c) v. Johny Hendricks
Doctor Law: Keep the distance, circle left
and jab. That’s how GSP gets it done. Now that I got that out of the way, I
need to get something off my chest. Johny Hendricks has no idea what he’s
talking about when it comes to drug testing. As such, he really shouldn’t be
talking about it. He doesn’t trust VADA, but says he will “do WADA.” Ok, let’s
get some sh*t straight. WADA doesn’t drug test. They just don’t. They set
standards. Do you know what VADA does? They use WADA accredited labs to test
people. Also, Hendricks solution to the “I don’t trust VADA” thing was basically
to just do no extra testing doesn’t look good. I would never accuse him of
being anything because it would be a ridiculous thing to say about a man who
has competed at such a high level for so many years with no proof to suggest
any impropriety (like GSP), but he needs to handle these situations better.
Step 1: don’t talk about sh*t you have no idea about. GSP by decision.
Kid Presentable: Let me start with the fact that Hendricks is legit. Many wrestle-boxers have come before him, but this man packs a Falcon Punch in his left hand. He has earned his shot, and though it was a long road to get to this point, really is the top contender in the division. That said, I seem to always pick against him and this day will be no different. GSP is simply too complete of a fighter. Every other fighter has some noticeable weakness, and GSP will play to that. Like most guys who have KO power, that power wanes as the fight drags on, and few know about dragging an opponent into the deep waters like GSP. GSP by unanimous NOS Active.
DJ Mark: It’s really hard to pick
against a guy that hasn’t lost since 2007. Many have criticized GSP in the past
of playing it a little safe against some opponents many think he could have
finished, but at the end of the night he still won all those fights. Hendricks
has the tools to win here and has shown his ability to do so as seen in his
highlight reel. The problem is only Matt Serra has been able to do what
Hendricks hopes to do on Saturday night. I honestly think it’s a very close
fight but I’m play it safe like I normally do, GSP dec.

Lavender Gooms: We’ve seen this script
before. Hard hitting All-American
wrestler who challenges the welterweight champion (Koscheck, Josh). In the first movie, our hero took down the
upstart and in the sequel our gilded hero unveiled a crisp and masterful jab
that’s rarely seen in MMA. If were a
betting man (I am) I would bet the farm on GSP utilizing the same game plan he
used in his rematch against Koscheck, staying out of range of Hendricks power
while peppering him for five rounds with jabs.
While Hendricks won’t suffer a broken orbital bone like the last person
who played his role, it will end in a one sided boxing match with the occasional
takedown stuffed. GSP by decision.
