It's a one fight wait for Hendricks and maybe not even that. GSP asked for Diaz, you give it to him. Putting Hendricks on the same card gives them the fall back of GSP/Hendricks if Diaz flakes out, but worst case, he has to win one more fight to get his shot (I'd be amazed if GSP went from Diaz to a Silva fight, but I suppose that'd be about the only way Hendricks wouldn't get him next).
It's not like Hendricks has been hanging around, waiting forever for this shot. His timing is pretty close to perfect in getting there with GSP getting back to action. One more fight won't kill him, and if he can't win to retain his #1 contender status, can't imagine he'd have had a shot against GSP.
