He knows Georges isn't scared, this is just an attempt to garner attention so he doesn't get passed over again (if he actually defeats Condit) and build a "bad blood" angle of his own. | You basically just said everything I did, except you obviously didn't read the quote from Hendricks.
Hendricks said. “ I do not know why he didn’t take the fight. All I know is he just proved what I thought. I am the number one contender. GSP should be fighting me and no one else. Why he didn’t, only he knows and his camp knows.”
If he's going to claim not to know and mention that only GSP and his camp knows why Diaz is getting the shot then he deserves to be called an idiot for being unaware of something that has been published publicly countless times.
Hendricks should shut up and accept the fact that there are things he can't control and focus his energy on defeating Condit. If he does, there will be no reason, excuse or argument as to why Hendricks shouldn't get the title shot. He won't even need to trash talk.

just so we're all on the same page, its ok with all of you when diaz does it though, right? it helps market him as a fighter doesnt it? Maybe if hendricks failed a drug test it'd be more acceptable, I guess....

And that's why he's playing dumb and not admitting it.

I'm saying that Hendricks is being coy about it. He doesn't want to come right out and say, "people find Diaz is more entertaining than me and has a bigger fan base."
He wants people to think that it didn't make any logical sense for GSP to choose Diaz over him, and that it was some kind of illogical decision possibly driven by fear.
You're saying that maybe he is trying to get GSP angry, or maybe he really is just that stupid.
I'm flat out saying he knows what is going on and he knows what he is doing.
I think you're just upset that he is calling out Captain Canada for taking on an undeserving contender.

Its pretty obvious that hes trying to hype a fight. I don't think Hendricks wants to talk shit but in order to get the title fight, he feels he has to, and he isn't wrong. Hell I think everyone here believes that he has "earned" a title shot. He needs more of this shit talking

Nick Diaz is overrated and overranked.
Why?
Because he got high.

If Hendricks comes out and says all Georges cares about is the money and the UFC doesn't care about the legitimacy of the sport, then he gets treated worse than Fitch has his entire career.
If Hendricks was not a company guy then he would not have agreed to a fight with Condit. It's manufactured drama and very novice at that. Hendricks doesn't know how to talk a good game and has been given the nudge to do so.
Lashing out at the boss by missing media appearances is something only a meathead would do.

I still dont understand how a great wrestler who has been knocking everyone out is considered one dimensional. Doesnt add up. I think this fight will be one of GSP's toughest to date.
