White: The UFC Didn’t Overlook Hendricks, GSP Asked For Diaz

Quote :

“The guy’s never asked us for anything. He’s an awesome champion, he
does anything we ask of him, and he asked us for a favor. He wants to
fight Diaz. It’s not like people don’t want to see it. The UFC didn’t do
that, the champ did. The champ called him out and wanted to fight him.
So the UFC didn’t do it, the guy who held the belt did. That’s who he
asked us to fight, and like I just said, when somebody goes on a run as
long as Georges St-Pierre has, done what he’s does for the sport, for
that division and everything else, they ask for a fight that they want,
then they’ll get it too.”

Well, that is true.
As much as I'd rather poor acid in my eyes than watch GSP fight, he's been a very good champion in regards to always fighting anyone the UFC threw at him.
Hendricks will still get his chance, but Ellenberger could easily play spoiler. That guy is a muscle bound freak and won't just lie down for Hendricks.
