Georges St. Pierre's dominant win at UFC 100 again left many claiming there's no one left for the champ defend his belt against at welterweight. That's hogwash. There's always a new challenger right around the corner. The winner of Mike Swick and Martin Kampmann at UFC 103 will certainly be a stiff test. And with the weight of 170 pounds being so common, there's surely a wave of young 20-somethings who'll be ready to go sooner than later. Anthony Johnson, 25, thinks he can be the guy down the road that GSP needs to fear.
"He's not the reason 170 is the way it is," said Johnson. "Yeah, you got guys he's already beat and these guys are coming back better and stronger than before. I think the 170 division is still going to be the best division in the sport."
"GSP will lose eventually. I think anybody and everybody he's facing now ill give him a run for his money. He's going to have to fight to keep that title."
Johnson was also very critical of UFC heavyweight champ Brock Lesnar saying he wasn't impressed and doesn't see what the big guy is doing to help the sport.
