As for picking a favourite, GSP gives a slight edge to the last man he faced before turning over the title. "Striking wise they both have the capacity to knock each other out.  Ill give the edge to Hendricks because he has an edge in the wrestling and grappling." cheap nfl jerseys cheap jerseys ' ' '
