machida1 Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 There's not much else to say....That Darce choke scared the **** out of me. Luckily the ref new what to loook for or Mike "Quick" Swick who I think is a good fighter could have fought his last fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true and i jumped on the bandwagon when he knocked out Josh "Fraggle Rock" Koscheck. This guy's legit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyTH_MMA Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 He's only been getting better each fight. He's still a young guy too. His stand-up may not be pretty, but it's certainly effective. He put Swick on his butt and proceeded to sink in one of the more obscure submissions.

Inferno33 Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Kinda makes you wonder how Dan Hardy deserves the title shot when he took Swick to a decision while Paulo Thiago pretty much KOed him then submitted him. If Hardy only has good striking skills and can't finish Swick while Thiago is a submission guy and can knock you out to....Honestly he deserves the title shot first but what can you say. timing is everything I guess and Dan Hardy had perfect timing. He solidified his shot before bigger threats made themselves noticed. Like Paulo Thiago and Paul Daley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, but it also helps when Hardy is willing to let the verbal excrement fly while Paulo is a very humble, reserved fighter. Someone once said nice guys finish last.

Ice_Cold92 Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 can i be the driver on this bandwagon?? Fine, but I call shotgun. I became a fan after the Volkmann fight. When I saw him drop Volkmann I knew the guy was legit. You don't drop guys with excellent timing twice. Man, if only were able to bet, I would've made some easy money on Thiago...

fredshaulage Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 yeah' date=' but i think dana has been trying to get a brit to fight for a title[/quote'] Hmm, interesting....wonder if the same will happen when they go to Pakistan.... If you let your fighting do the talking for you and keep your mouth shut you will eventually get your chance, although a much longer road. OR you can have a big mouth, string together a couple good performances and people will want to see you. It's all about marketability. Thiago is legit but will have to make his own way to a title bout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0verrated Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Yup, He is a bas **** for sure. He would smash overrated Paul Daley. He might be the #1 contender at WW now because Hardy sure is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legionarivs6 Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 lets calm down guys. a lucky koscheck KO and a win over swick (overrated) isnt spectacular. lets see him fight fitch or alves and then we shall open the bandwagon floodgates lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that marketability may make you one or two fights closer than the statistics may state. If this guy hadn't lost to Fitch I believe that he would be next in line for a shot at GSP, whereas Hardy won all of his fights in the UFC (albeit against lesser opponents). I think that he's maybe two wins away from a shot at the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indiglow Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 He almost had Fitch in the D'arce choke as well IIRC. Some fighters just have favorite submission moves. I LOVE the ones who use the anaconda/d'arce choke and the ones who use the arm triangle (kinda all three the same) It's ALWAYS there, and I'm shocked more people don't use it. However, I'm not a huge Thiago fan for some reason. Love the submissions, but it kinda sucks he's doing it to fighters I like lol maybe that's why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And i agree Quick "glass jaw" Swick is overrated. Paulo is good, but i doubt he'd beat Kos in a rematch. Let alone all the other nonsense floating around!

SwiftSpear Posted February 9, 2010 Report Share Posted February 9, 2010 Been on the bandwagon. Still riding it. Paulo Thiago vs. Paul Daley #1 Contender Unless Koschek beats Daley than we'll be seeing the rematch. If Kos beats Daley I think he gets GSP right away. Thiago is 1 fight away from GSP at minimum. If Daley beats Kos (which I think is unlikely to be honest) Then I would like to see Daley vs Thiago for #1 contender. If Daily doesn't win I think Thiago gets a rematch with Fitch for #1 contender.

If they stood and traded 9/10 times Thiago would put him down, he is a far superior striker, Koscheck just thinks he has good stand up when in reality hes just a wrestler, put him in there with anyone with decent hands and he will get KO'd if he doesnt use his wrestling.
