Head 2 Head: St-Pierre vs. Hendricks
Johny Hendricks has built himself a serious head of steam to take into his UFC 167 welterweight championship matchup with Georges St-Pierre. The lead-fisted southpaw has authored several memorable knockouts, but does he have the goods to land his heavy offense against arguably the most complete fighter the sport has ever seen?
Just months after Anderson Silva’s lengthy reign ended,
St-Pierre has designs on breaking Silva’s record of 10
consecutive title defenses. Defeating Hendricks in Las Vegas would
put him just one win shy of tying Silva. But if he does it, it will
have to come in a match fraught with danger. GSP is so good at so
many things that he’s always going to be favored on the stat
sheet, but power is a game-changer, so Hendricks has the ability to
rewrite history with a single strike.
