    MONTREAL — Georges St. Pierre famously dropped to his knees five years ago in the octagon and begged for a shot at the welterweight title. While Johny Hendricks didn’t go quite that far at the Bell Centre after the UFC 154 co-main event Saturday night, the desperation felt the same. Hendricks’ voice nearly cracked as he repeated, “please,” four times in his request for a championship bout against St. Pierre after knocking out Martin Kampmann 46 seconds into their meeting.

    In Georges St. Pierre’s mind, he’s no longer the UFC welterweight champion. When St. Pierre takes on interim champion Carlos Condit Nov. 17 in Montreal, he’ll pay no attention to getting announced last and walking to the red corner. He considers himself the challenger.

Nick Diaz fails to back up years worth of talk

UFC 158 A welterweight title fight that felt incredibly different wound up remarkably the same. Georges St. Pierre manhandled nemesis Nick Diaz with his wrestling. St. Pierre won every round on every judges' scorecard in Montreal for his sixth straight unanimous-decision victory. Diaz had preached his superiority over St. Pierre for years, but when he finally got his chance, he looked as helpless as all the other challengers to the 170-pound division's throne in the last six years. St. Pierre's consistency continued to amaze. Now it's on to Johny Hendricks, who defeated Carlos Condit in the evening's co-main event. Could he be the one to finally threaten St. Pierre?
