“I think I’ve earned the shot. I’ve fought all the tough guys in the division. The only thing left is to fight GSP. I think I have the tools. I haven’t shown all my tools cause I haven’t had to. But I believe I have all the tools to win that fight.”

Following his first round knockout of Martin Kampmann this past weekend at UFC 154, Johny Hendricks told the media at the post-fight press conference that he wants to wait for his earned title shot.

Rattling off victories over the likes of Jon Fitch, Josh Koscheck and Martin Kampmann surely build a strong case for Hendricks and his rights to try and earn UFC gold but will the UFC see it his way?
