Hendricks better step up his cardio if he wants to have a chance to deal with GSP, if Hendricks can't pull it out in the first 10 minutes, I think GSP wins another decision.
I think Condit would have beaten Hendricks had their fight gone 5 rounds. Hendricks was still securing takedowns in the 3rd, but his punches didn't have nearly as much on them, and he looked to be fading.
Based on the Condit fight, if GSP ties up with Hendricks for the first 2 rounds, makes Hendricks defend the takedown, puts him against the cage like he did to Penn in their 2nd fight, GSP should be able to safely win 3, 4 and 5 by circling left with his jab.
