That's all you need to know about this fight. 7" in reach is similar to what Jon Jones fights with against his average opponents. The fight is going to be very similar to Rory - Berger, with GSP hitting clean jabs and Hendricks swinging madly with huge power but missing by a mile. After the fight you're all going to be wondering why you ever thought Hendricks would be able to get in range and hit GSP cleanly with his power.
PS: For those saying "Hendricks has beat guys with a big reach, like Condit with 76", remember that GSP uses his reach. He stays on the outside with great footwork and one of the best jabs in MMA. It's like saying you beat Struve so you can beat Jon Jones' reach. Completely different scenarios.
