I&#8217;ll be the only one saying it for now. It&#8217;s my belief. I thought that when Robbie was helping me corner Hughes when he lost to GSP and Koscheck. Both times Matt lost, I would look at Robbie and think, &#8216;you are going to beat both of these guys.&#8217;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>One down and one to go. If GSP doesn&#8217;t want to fight any more. I hope they do set up Lawler and Hendrix. It would be an amazing fight. UFC fans deserve a champ at WW that isn&#8217;t afraid to end the fight early. We would love to bring that WW belt back to Iowa for a fourth time. I don&#8217;t mean to sound over confident, I just have a strong strong belief.
