It baffles the living shit out of me that on the same forum where people talk about Chris Weidman as if he's the middleweight messiah, as if he's head and shoulders above the rest of the MW contenders, guys are calling Hendricks a crybaby, etc. for feeling he deserves a WW title shot! Hendricks has done so much more in his respective division than Weidman! At least MW has other contenders who are actually WINNING FIGHTS! Bisping, Boetsch, and Belcher are coming off wins against formidable opponents, and Belfort was on a 3 fight winning streak before losing to the LHW champ (who he nearly subbed). Who else at WW has the momentum of Hendricks, besides the man GSP won't fight (Rory)? I'm a fan of Nick Diaz, but he lost his last fight AND got suspended for a year. If GSP isn't fighting Anderson Silva, Johny Hendricks should be the ONLY other option.
