GSP vacating belt, taking time off
Hendricks vs Lawler for the belt, rather it be Condit myself.

Wonder if the UFC pushed for this after the backlash of the decision. This way Hendricks gets his hands on an (interim) belt if he beats Lawler, which he likely will. Maybe thats why they've given the fight to Lawler, I like him a lot but right now he's possibly an easier fight than the true runner, Carlos Condit. Lawler will stand and bang and thats just what Hendricks wants.

That doesnt really matter though Phelen because GSP only fights twice a year, sometimes only once. So he might have had 6 months off regardless of this advertised "vacation". But this way they can rake in some "interim champ" money, let Jonny knock a few people out then fight Georges in 8 months for a hugely anticipated rematch.
Either he'll be back in 8 months or this is his retirement; at at 32 with a few years left in him I cant see him turning his back on $5 million per fight.
GSP vs Hendricks (or whoever interim champ is) at Montreal next August/September I'm telling you.

Guess he didn't say what he's taking time off for?
Tom Daley's new boyfriend?
