Here's the thing - a lot of people like to talk on and on about how Alexander Gustaffson got robbed by the judges, and how he was the real winner of his fight with Jon Jones.  They'll still bring it up pretty much any time either fighter's name is raised in conversation, even though it happened over a year ago.  And yet...

...nobody really seems to care that Hendricks [B]definitely[/B] got robbed by the judges in his fight with GSP.  It doesn't come up with anything like the frequency that Jones-Gus does.  Maybe it's the circumstances, since GSP went on hiatus immediately after the fight and Hendricks ended up with the title shortly afterwards anyway.  Maybe it's because everybody hates Jones, but they like both Hendricks and GSP.

Either way, my point is that I don't think GSP would do much better the second time around if he were to fight Hendricks again - he'd probably lose.  Hendricks is only getting better.

GSP is still only 33 so if he decides he wants to he could probably fight for several more years.  The welterweight title picture is pretty busy these days though.  If he failed to reclaim the title, would he really want to go through the whole mess of contenders bouts and whatnot again?  More to the point, would we want to see him do that, or would it all just be a bit sad?

I think I'd rather just see him go out on top.
