Technique Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 If I don't perform to my best, the whole world is going to see it ? they're going to see me fail to put up a good fight. It's my job to ensure that everything is in place for me to do my job and shock the world on the night. Lol it seems that he is focused on putting up a good fight instead of winning.

Growler666 Posted February 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 To be fair, even putting up a good fight will be impressive against GSP; I think he is humble enough to realise its gonna take a lot to beat him..............................

MyTH_MMA Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Despite some of the hate Dan receives he really is a classy guy and a good spokesman for the sport. Should be a war between the two of them, as much as I'm rooting for Dan, I still expect GSP to outclass him with the wrestling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fredshaulage Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 I don't know how anyone could not like Hardy. He is an excellent fighter, well spoken, intelligent with a great sense of humor.Too bad he is about to take the beating of his life and when they go out for a drink afterwards Hardy will need to use a straw to eat his chicken wings.

Once the fight starts they go back to what they're best at. For GSP that would be controlling his opponent on the ground. Both of them have credentials for striking.

gazlufc Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Im a fan of both and i think Hardy will give the fight of his life.But GSP will wear him down and probably win by UD. Theres no-one in this division who can beat GSP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seanokyo Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Yeah I am a big fan of both. I don't really get why people hate on Hardy.

grappler123 Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 lol It's all smack talk, nothin' more. I can say that Hardy has been around longer and fought more opponents than GSP. This smack talk of him bein' the prince limey is simply a response to his smack against Marcus Davis and GSP. But again, all smack talk. The Brit's and USA allied to beat the Nazi's in WWII.

No fight has a guaranteed end result. I believe this is where some are a tad confused. GSP holds the record for most significant strikes landed in UFC history and this is not over a long career. Hardy may have what some believe are heavy hands, but when GSP says he wants to do something, based on his past record of making good on these desires, he becomes among the very best in the world at it. GSP can pick Hardy apart on the feet if this is his desire. Some here need to realize that GSP is just as proficient and deadly standing as grappling. Only noobs aren't aware of the striking ability of GSP as one of the best in the world. So given this, in what world could Hardy successfully exchange with the champ?

These so called (noobs) have no idea of his striking ability because he's so dominant on the ground. Just because he CHOOSES to go to the ground people seem to believe he can no longer stand and bang. People tend to learn (GSP especially) from their losses and he understands that people can get caught, but it's so much less likely to get caught whilst throwing elbows from half guard. He is however conscious of his KO% in his last fight and is working diligently on improving his power so that these (noobs) will no longer state that he's a (sigh, lay and pray fighter) even though the average educated fan knows he is an amazing striker.
