On November 16, 2013, Georges St-Pierre defended his UFC welterweight title for the ninth consecutive time. The win, a split-decision victory over Johny Hendricks in front of a reported crowd of 14,856 fans at MGM Grand Garden Arena gave the Canadian the record for most consecutive title defenses in UFC welterweight history. After the fight, which served as the headliner of the UFC 167 pay-per-view card, UFC president Dana White raged against St-Pierre — among others.
White was curt from the start of the post-fight press conference.
When asked about the main event bout, White said he thought Hendricks should have had his hand raised in victory.
