good for him. i've always wanted to see the guy progress at the right pace. his skills are definitely moving along. his only option at this point is fighting a big name. i'm definitely interested to see what's up next for him.

Personally I would rather see him get Koscheck than Fitch
Man, I don't know. I tend to go back a little farther while others subscribe to "what have you done for me lately." I think Johny is on the cusp of some big leaps with the Fitch win. But I'd still keep him outside of top 10 until he gets one more big win. Without the loss to Story, he'd easily be top 10.

Why George? He's 7-1 in the UFC in 8 fights in the Octagon. He was the first person to knock out Amir Sadollah (TUF winner) and also Charlie Brenneman who had only lost once before he fought Hendricks and that was a decision to John Howard. He beat Mike Pierce who was riding a good streak and whose only previous UFC loss was a 29-28 decision to Jon Fitch and Pierce is now coming off a win and is 5-2 in the UFC overall. So to me it shows that Hendricks is beating and also finishing good guys and also beating tough guys. And his only career loss to date is that close decision to Rick Story.
With all that and being the first guy in the UFC to ever stop Jon Fitch, I'm definitely ranking Hendricks in the top five.
