Speaking with Sportsnet, George St-Pierre thinks Rory MacDonald should be next in line for a UFC welterweight title shot and he also thinks Johny Hendricks has what it takes to defeat Robbie Lawler.
On MacDonald getting the next title shot:
“I think so. I think he is [ready]. I think Rory will be champion soon. His loss to [Robbie] Lawler made him much better, I believe. I believe he’s got all the tools to be champion and I think he will.”
On Hendricks beating Lawler:
“I’m not going to go to the fight because I’m taking a break right now, but I’m going to watch it. They both have the power to knock each other out standing up. I see Johny as having an advantage in the wrestling and grappling departments, because of his experience.”
“They’re both southpaws but it’ll be interesting. Sometimes we can speculate where the fight will go and everything, but it all comes down to the night of the fight. You never know what’s going to happen 100%. You don’t know what’s going to happen in each guy’s life. Sometimes things can affect a fight. You don’t know. You have to go behind the scenes and see but we’ll find all that out the night of the fight.”
