TORONTO - Georges St-Pierre is picking Johny (Bigg Rigg) Hendricks to succeed him as UFC welterweight champion. Geron Christian Redskins Jersey . Hendricks, who lost a controversial split decision to St-Pierre at UFC 167 last November, fights again for the 170-pound crown on Saturday when he faces veteran (Ruthless) Robbie Lawler at UFC 171. The 32-year-old St-Pierre vacated the title in December, saying he needed time away from the sport. St-Pierre has been making the most of his time off, travelling and speaking his mind about what he believes needs to be fixed in the world of mixed martial arts. But he remains close to the sport and says he will be watching the UFC 171 main event in Dallas. "Its a fight where anything can happen," St-Pierre told The Canadian Press. "Both guys can put each other to sleep. They have a lot of power in striking, but I believe Hendricks has the edge in this fight because I believe he will come more well-prepared with his team and hes got an edge in the grappling department." Hendricks (15-2) is a former two-time NCAA wrestling champion. St-Pierre (25-2) left a 12-fight winning streak and a string of UFC records behind him. But he says it wont be strange seeing someone else have his belt strapped around their waist. "No, because it was my choice to give away the title. It was my choice so I dont regret anything. I feel very good and Im happy that I did it. I feel better now." St-Pierre, who had held the UFC title since regaining it from Matt (The Terror) Serra at UFC 83 in April 2008, says the outcome of the fight will not affect whether he returns to the sport. "I dont plan on coming back right now," he said. "First if I come back, it will be when I want. I have a lot of things to do. And also a couple things need to change if I come back. ... Whoever wins, I dont care. I just watch it as a fan." Since leaving the sport, St-Pierre has spoken out about the need to have more stringent drug testing. The Montreal fighter — who was the UFCs biggest pay-per-view draw — has also complained about the UFC having a monopoly. Hendricks has said he sees Lawler (22-9 with one no contest) as a more dangerous opponent that St-Pierre. "Robbie, if you make a mistake, weve seen it time and time again that he can knock you out." The 30-year-old Hendricks is the top-ranked contender in the 170-pound division while Lawler is No. 3. No. 2 Carlos (The Natural Born Killer) Condit, who lost to St-Pierre in a UFC 154 title shot and was beaten by Hendricks at UFC 158, takes on No. 11 Tyron Woodley (12-2) in the UFC 171 co-main event. Condit (29-7) says he has been told a win will earn him another title shot. Hendricks is currently No. 10 in the UFCs pound-for-pound rankings.

And it only got worse from there.Thousands turned out at TCF Bank Stadium to protest the Redskins nickname, franchise quarterback Robert Griffin III was again hounded by reports that his presence has divided the locker room and the Minnesota Vikings handed Washington a demoralizing 29-26 defeat on Sunday that dropped them to 3-6 heading into the bye.Cant really worry about the negativity thats swirling around, Griffin said in reference to two ESPN reports that claimed owner Dan Snyder forced Gruden to start him over Colt McCoy, who led the Redskins to back-to-back victories in the previous two weeks. Someday thatll stop. I truly believe that. I believe someday the negativity will stop and people will stop trying to tear us down from the outside in and make it look like its coming from the inside.I believe that.After missing more than six games with a dislocated left ankle, Griffin was in the second of two early buses on the way to the stadium on Sunday morning when his bus, carrying most players, slammed into the lead bus, which was carrying mostly coaches and staff.Backup running back Silas Redd Jr. was deactivated for the game because of back spasms he suffered after the crash, but everyone else escaped with only minor aches and pains.A lot of guys had their lives flash before their eyes, said Griffin, who completed 18 of 28 passes for 251 yards and a touchdown. Not a good moment.The team appeared to gather itself and started strong against the Vikings (4-5). Griffin hit his first six passes to help Washington take a 10-0 lead, but Captain Munnerlyn picked off an errant pass at the Washington 46 with less than a minute to play in the first half. Four plays later, Teddy Bridgewater hit Chase Ford for a 20-yard touchdown pass to get the Vikings on the board and set up a back-and-forth second half.We cant throw a pick there, Gruden said. Cant throw an out-breaking route to the inside. Cant ever happen.But Gruden vehemently disputed any notion that teammates and coaches werent backing Griffin. He called the reports amateurish and fiction.We are in D.C. and it is Robert Griffin, Gruden said. Thheyre always going to try to tear him down and tear us down for whatever reason, but were going to stay united as a locker room and thats that. Troy Apke Redskins Jersey. Were not going to let anybody get to us.Receiver DeSean Jackson, who had four catches for 120 yards and a touchdown, treaded lightly around the subject.Hes their guy. I feel comfortable and confident with him back there, Jackson said. Regardless of who was on board or who wasnt on board, as players thats not our decision. We just have to go out there and do our job.So for whoever (it was) to feel any way about that decision, its really past their ability to say because youve got to go out and focus on your job and play to your best ability, if that makes any sense.Equally troubling was the play of the Redskins defence, which was coming off a dominant effort against the Cowboys last week. After sacking Tony Romo five times, they only got to Vikings rookie Teddy Bridgewater twice.Bridgewater threw for 268 yards and a touchdown, numbers that couldve been much better had he not missed several wide open receivers deep down the field early in the game. The defence also gave up two long touchdown drives in the fourth quarter, both ending with scoring runs by Matt Asiata, who scored three times.That was unacceptable football, Gruden said.Griffin took some hard hits, including a low one by Anthony Barr that bent his left leg awkwardly backward. But he showed Bridgewater a thing or two about throwing long, hitting Jackson for 45 yards on the first play of the second drive and 56 yards in the fourth quarter to set up Alfred Morris second TD of the game that gave Washington a 26-21 lead.Griffin had the ball with 3:27 to play and a chance to tie or take the lead, but his throw to Pierre Garcon on fourth-and-6 was at his feet and sealed the defeat.The way I look at it is I couldve played better to help us win the game at the end, Griffin said. Ill still cherish those moments. In the next game that it comes, Ill come through.NOTES: Morris finished with a season-high 92 yards rushing. ... TE Logan Paulsen left the game with plantar fasciitis, but was able to return. LB Keenan Robinson injured a shoulder. ... ... This was the fifth straight season these teams have played. The Vikings won four.
