The first thing that's on everyone's mind after Johny Hendricks won the vacant UFC Welterweight Title was "will he get a rematch with GSP?" well, it looks like GSP vs Hendricks 2 will be a while as GSP believes that Rory MacDonald is the number 1 contender instead of him.

While people thought that Robbie Lawler should have won the title fight, GSP believes that "Big Rig" won the fight:

GSP said in an interview on the show The MMA Hour,"Personally I scored the fight to Johny Hendricks. I believe he had rounds one, two and five. Most people I know, they think it was (Robbie) Lawler that won the fight. It was a very tight fight though, it could've gone either way."

"I think it came down to the first round," St-Pierre said of the fight. "I believe Lawler, the rounds that he won, it was more decisively, and he did more damage on the face, but sometimes that doesn't mean anything.

"Lawler had a lot of damage too, but you couldn't see the damage on the legs. Damage on the face sometimes is superficial, so that's one of the reasons I think Hendricks won the fight."

So should GSP vs Hendricks 2 happen? Not yet, as GSP doesn't want to fight right now claiming he has lost his "hunger" to fight.

"When I fought Carlos Condit, I was really hungry," he said. "When I fought (Nick) Diaz, I was not as much hungry. When I fought Hendricks, my training camp, I was even less hungry, and I felt like I needed to step out to get some time to see if I want to do this or not again.

"For now, I don't want to do it. I needed to step out and stay out of the radar. That's one of the things I said. I didn't know if it was going to be six months, a year, a year and a half, I don't know. But right now, I don't feel like coming back right now. It's not right for me."

However St-Pierre said the Hendricks should fight other contenders and he believes that Rory MacDonald is the number contender for the UFC Welterweight Title:

"Rory MacDonald," St-Pierre said, referencing his longtime friend and Tristar training partner who recently rebounded with a convincing win at UFC 170.

"If very happy for Rory. He did an amazing fight against Demian Maia and he proved he's the No. 1 contender."
