“(I) just have to win and GSP has nowhere to hide from me. Man, he’s scared. That’s why he wants me to keep fighting because maybe I’ll lose and then he won’t have to retire (before fighting me).” Johny Hendricks thinks UFC welterweight champion, Georges St-Pierre, is afraid to fight him.

Michael “The Count” Bisping has long campaigned for a shot at UFC gold. It would seem that now all he has to do is get past Vitor Belfort. “If Bisping wins, Bisping will probably will get that next shot. If not, we’ll see what happens,” said UFC President Dana White at last weekends TUF 16 post-fight press conference.

“I was very disappointed that Gray Maynard got hurt but at the same time, whenever I’ve had guys pull out last minute, I’ve had great fights. It happened when I fought Gabe Reudigar, it happened when I fought Jamie Varner, and it’s going to happen when I fight Jim Miller. “This is going to be ‘Fight of the Night,’ 100-percent. Jim Miller is tough, very good everywhere. Great jiu-jitsu, good wrestling, good stand-up; he’s a southpaw, so that’s a little different. He’s had great fights, he’s exciting, he goes for it — the kind of fights I like to have.

“I want to fight Benson Henderson. I think a champion versus champion fight makes absolute sense right now. I think we already know how things are going to work out between Benson Henderson and a lot of other lightweight fighters in the UFC, but I’m that mystery fighter. No one really knows how I’m going to matchup with anyone. I have been around for a long time and have been the top lightweight in the world before Benson or any of these other guys. “I think I have a lot of answers for his style. Sometimes he fights a wrestler like Guida who doesn’t have great hands, and sometimes he fights strikers who can’t really wrestle. Look at his fights against “Cowboy” Cerrone back in the day, or even Pettis. I have that wrestling pedigree where he ain’t taking me down, and I’ll be stuffing some shots. I’m not backing away, and I’ll be dropping some bombs. I’m not an easy guy to stand with. I have a lot of power, and I’m not running away from kicks. I don’t run away from anything. I hold my ground. I’ll be coming for him, and anything he dishes out I’ll be answering back twice as hard.”

“You know what’s funny about Bisping? I actually really like the guy, I got to meet him in that boring fight I had against Demian Maia, which I took on 10-days notice and had to cut 32 pounds in 10 days and he was there when I’m cutting weight and seen what I actually went through and for him to come out and discredit me like that, a little bit of a scumbag move… I think he’s promoting himself, he has to discredit other people and especially when I’m ranked ahead of him in most of the rankings of course he’s going to try and discredit me, but, you know what I didn’t like and I saw when he came on, how he actually like broke man-code by actually mentioning about Luke Rockhold and his sparring, I don’t like that, that kind of pisses me off. You don’t — never do that I don’t care what you want to do. So, I really didn’t like that and I would love to shut him up with that, but we’ll see. It’s either him or Anderson Silva; those are the two guys that would be exciting to fight.” – Top UFC middleweight Chris Weidman on Spike TV’s MMA Uncensored Live.
