Defending UFC welterweight champion Georges St-PierreGraham Hughes/The Canadian Press

UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre says Johny (Bigg Rigg) Hendricks will gets his chance but Nick Diaz is next.

Hendricks has accused St-Pierre of ducking him, saying the Montreal mixed martial arts star is afraid of his knockout power.

That drew laughs from St-Pierre, who asked UFC boss Dana White to set up the Diaz matchup.

The champion says the Diaz fight is the one fans wants to see.

St-Pierre and Diaz are slated to face off in the main event of UFC 158 on March 16 at Montreal's Bell Centre.
