Poll: Who do you want UFC champion Johny Hendricks to fight next?

Now that the UFC has its first new welterweight champion since 2008, we want to know who should be newly minted titleholder Johny Hendricks‘ next opponent.

An immediate rematch with UFC 171 opponent Robbie Lawler, or perhaps another UFC 171 winner, such as Tyron Woodley or Hector Lombard? What about Nick Diaz, who’s apparently ready to end his retirement and return to the cage?

And though he has an upcoming fight with Erick Silva, what about Matt Brown? Or Rory MacDonald, who immediately began his campaign after Hendricks’ win? Or even ex-champ Georges St-Pierre, though he has no immediate plans for a return?
