Eh I thought he beat Kos. Plus, most of Kos's success early came from the barrages after the blatant eye poke (that he does every fight).

^GSP will not smash Hendricks imo. I, as a Diaz fan, think he has a better chance than Diaz...and I think it's a pretty decent chance, actually. GSP will obviously be the favorite when they fight, but I think if he beats Hendricks it'll be by decision.

I feel like alot of people don't give Hendricks the credit he deserves for being a pretty crafty striker. He throws alot of loopy punches, but he sets them up, and he's quick on his feet and with his hands, so they work for him. He doesn't have a great jab but nobody is going to outjab GSP anyways. You have a much better chance catching him cold or with effective volume striking than you do technically oustriking him.
