Ariel Helwani ‏@arielhelwani 1m

GSP: I've decided I need to take time off.

Ariel Helwani ‏@arielhelwani 55s

GSP: I vacate my title for the respect of the other competitors.

Ariel Helwani ‏@arielhelwani 37s

GSP: One day, when I feel like it I might come back but I need a break.

I say just give the belt to Hendricks I think he earned it with that GSp fight! And then Diaz and Condit can coach a TUF to see who fights him next!

LOL Diaz on TUF would be epic. He would never show up though

Hendricks is a proud fighter, I think it  would be unsettling to have the belt just handed to him even though HE DID earn it the first time.  He'll fight someone for it, and he'll win it again, this time officially

Hendricks is basically the champ anyway you look at it. 

Condit is #2ish and they've already fought. 

Tap's #4 is Rory - coming off a loss

Bring in Diaz???

GSP is by far my favorite fighter ever. 

I was initially sad that he made this decision, but hearing him talk, I'm glad he's walking away (for a while) while he needs it. People might **** on him for it, but he's clearly an obsessive guy. Better in the long-run for him so he doesn't have a mental breakdown.

@curtwag84 Putting this on at Cowboy Stadium is a risky move.

The UFC still has some growing to do and they need a bigger card than this for an event at Cowboy Stadium.

Dana just said he's looking to put Condit on this card too. 

He was asked if Brown's a possibility and he said no now because the title is vacant and they need to go down another road with Condit.

Condit will beat Hendricks in a 5 rd fight believe that

If GSP doesn't ever make a return... still GOAT 

Edit- just saw it's Hendricks vs Lawlor. Would have rather seen Condit, but it's cool we will see that fight soon enough after Hendricks beats Lawlor and Condit beats whoever he needs to.
