Road_Apple Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 Sherdog reckons Swick but I disagree, Swick is coming off two losses so it makes no sense for Hathaway to risk his unbeaten run on a guy who's stock is going down. Maybe Dong Hyun Kim? Hmmm, how about Sanchez versus Swick next? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TornHonor Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 It will most likely be Dong Hyun Kim in a battle of undefeated fighters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartkiller Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 if Rumble Johnson stays at WW i think he should fight him, then if he can beat Johnson he can start taking on the elite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say Swick//Kim//Serra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it stand Koscheck would wreck Hardy just like GSP did and just like Kos did to Daley. Hardy wont get another #1 shot before anytime soon.

I saw a hell of a lot of dry humping from the fraggle but not a lot else, my heart wanted Daley to win that fight but my head always said Kos would come out on top, I truly believe however that Hardy will beat Koscheck. And Dana has already said that he believes Hardy will get another chance in the future so after his fight in October if he then beats Koscheck and then Hathaway or whoever else it may be at the top of the pecking order around that time then why shouldnt he get another shot?

HappyHamer Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 I would like to see Hathaway get the winner of Condit/Macdonald. Condit was the last WEC WW champ, so a victory over him is a feather in anyones cap, and Macdonald is treading a similar path to Hathaway, quietly going undefeated, so either of these match ups would suffice.

I hope they nurture him like they are doing for Bones, some people are getting carried away a bit and after that fight its obvious the potentials there, but a destructive loss at this point in his career could be costly. Move him along steadily and slowly moving him up the pecking order would be wise and as Dana sed, once he has 3 or 4 fights and his comfortable, he could be a wrecking machine.

samsam Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 Yea, take it easy with hathaway, he's just 22 years old, he would get wrecked by Fitch at the moment, put him up against someone like Rumble, even though i think Rumble would destroy him aswell i really dont see any way Hathaway could defeat Rumble. He's not going to take him down, Rumble is a veery strong guy with good wrestling, and extremely explosive standup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnson is without a doubt the most overrated fighter in the entire division, possibly the UFC. The guy can't make weight, and gets by purely on having power. Technically his striking is very basic, and he's not a fantastic wrestler. Hathaway would take him down quite easily, I think the preconception is that Hathaway can't wrestle just because he's English, when he's actually one of the better wrestlers in the division. Hathaway would pound him out en route to a UD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daley was wrecked as in being dominated for all 3 rounds and having no answers to anything. Kind of like Hardy with GSP. Hardy vs koscheck will just be a GSP 2.0 match. Hardy might possibly get another shot at the title but not anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisLight Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 I think is a little early for him to face the big dogs, feed him with Saunders or Lytle for the time being . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
