Johny Hendricks wants to settle his score with Georges St-Pierre, this time at middleweight.
Johny Hendricks made a successful middleweight debut on Sunday by defeating Hector Lombard in the co-main event of UFC Halifax. After breaking a three-fight losing streak, the former welterweight champion is looking to even his score with the returning Georges St-Pierre.
“Georges might be coming back and I just say sorry for the Canadians,” Hendricks said during the post-fight press conference. “I’m going to have to beat his face in, definitely if he comes to 185.”
“Because that’s a fight I’ve been really looking forward [to]. And now that I’ve got a win on my belt at 185, he’s the newcomer at 185, supposedly.
On Friday, it was announced that UFC and St-Pierre had come to agreement and closed a deal, after a lengthy negotiation. UFC president Dana White named the winner of Tyron Woodley vs. Stephen Thompson or Michael Bisping as the next possible opponents for St-Pierre.
But as for Hendricks, a fight against Bisping is also on his radar sometime in the future.
“I think he said he might come to 185 because he wants to fight [Michael] Bisping,” Hendricks said. “Who would want to see him and Bisping or me and Bisping? I’m sure the whole world would much rather see that.”
