At today's UFC 158 press conference, Dana White stated that ohny Hendricks (14-1 MMA, 9-1 UFC) would likely earn a shot at the title should he look impressive at the event against Jake Ellenbeger (28-6 MMMA, 7-2 UFC)…

"I'd have to say if Johny Hendricks looks good and wins his fight, it will probably be Hendricks (next)."

Champion Georges St-Pierre came under fire when he wanted the fight with Nick Diaz, and defended the position by stating that he felt Hendricks lost his fight against Josh Koscheck. GSP stated the following…

"Johny Hendricks, when I watched the fight with Josh Koscheck, according to me, Josh Koscheck should have won that fight, so I didn't want to fight a guy that lost to a guy I already beat."
