Video: Georges St-Pierre on Rory MacDonald, Hendricks-Lawler UFC 181 rematch

Georges St-Pierre definitely has a vested interest in next month’s UFC 181 main event.

At the pay-per-view in Las Vegas, welterweight champion Johny Hendricks (16-2 MMA, 11-2 UFC) rematches Robbie Lawler (24-10 MMA, 9-4 UFC), putting his belt on the line for the first time.

St-Pierre defended his title one final time against Hendricks before stepping away from the sport and vacating his title. So he’s interested in seeing a former nemesis in a fight.

But more important still, St-Pierre’s teammate, Rory MacDonald (18-2 MMA, 9-2 UFC), has been promised a crack at the UFC 181 winner.

Will that be Lawler in an upset, setting up a rematch with MacDonald, whom he beat a year ago at UFC 167? Or will it be the champ?

St-Pierre weighed in on who he thinks has the edge at UFC 181, and how he thinks MacDonald will fare when it’s his turn to fight for the title.

Check out the full video above.
