Or maybe, in my opinion, Uryu knew this all along and knew it was a matter of time before Yhwach would strike. If you guys remember, before everyone went to Hueco Mundo, he said he wasn't able to go. What was he doing during all this time? I'm sure him and his dad were preparing for the inevitable. Also, since Yhwach can take away Quincy powers at will (by absorbing other Quincy's blut, or weakening it), it doesn't seem like ANY quincy (even Ichigo in this case) can go against him. Lets see where this goes.
