Slim Hardy: Will the real UFC welterweights please shut up, please shut up

Slim-hardy_medium

Las Vegas Review Journal

Quoteworthy:

"I get doubted all the time. Regardless of what I do or who I beat, people always underestimate me. They've never given me the respect I deserve. Fighting GSP, if I can give him a good beating, people might start to change their mind. Josh Koscheck's at the back of a long line of people that have something negative to say about me. I'll shut them up one at a time. I understand that people are a little irked and a little surprised that I'm getting a title shot, but at the end of the day who is left? Georges St. Pierre has done a good job of clearing out the division. The two top guys around are (Jon) Fitch and (Thiago) Alves, and they need a couple wins before they get back to a title shot. You don't want to see the same guys fighting for a title over and over again. One thing I've realized about this fight is I'm not going to be the good guy. You can't say anything bad about Georges St. Pierre because he's such nice guy to the point where it's a little boring because he never says anything nasty about anyone. Someone's got to hype the fight up because he's just going to smile and bow every time you say something bad about him."

UFC welterweight number one contender Dan Hardy has a message for all the Doubting Thomases -- including former number one contender Josh Koscheck -- who believes "The Outlaw" has no business fighting for the 170-pound title based on decision victories over Marcus Davis and Mike Swick. While Hardy may not have been around the top of the division for very long, he is considered a fresh face for "Rush" and could help sell the contest with his colorful personality. Does he have a chance to win it all? That's what the comment section is for. Let's hear your take.

NOPE

no chance. utter domination by GSP. rd 2 TKO

by Newfie3 on Nov 24, 2009 11:34 AM EST reply actions   0 recs

He earned it

Dana was saying if Swick had won he would be getting a title shot. So if he’s the number one guy in line and then gets beat by Hardy, I think he earned it. But good luck with GSP, I actually like Hardy’s chances better than Swicks.

I agree Crooks. Although he still does not have a chance, I like his attatude.

Why does Koscheck

deserve to be in a title eliminator? He got KOd by Paulo Thiago, beat freaking Frank Trigg, then exposed AJs nonexistent ground game. Whoopdy-doo.

Agreed

Several top 10 ww’s would have destroyed AJ the same as Kos did but in the UFC you’re only as good as your last fight. Eitherway Hardy gets beat down by Kos or more brutal by GSP.

by SDA on Nov 24, 2009 1:06 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Kos is getting a lot of hype after taking care of AJ but ppl forget how he’s been obliterated by the top shelf of the WW division. Hardy would beat kos IMO and Hardy deserves the shot. Everyone else got their chance. Plus, Hardy is a cool dude. Imagine if he actually beats GSP, he’ll be like the baddest dude in MMA. I don’t get why everyone disliked the guy….you gotta remember – it’s all for show. He seems like a nice guy when he’s not playing it up for the crowd and trying to get into fighters heads like he got into marcus Davis’.

by *Red*Dog* on Nov 24, 2009 3:59 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

no kos was NOT obliterated by anyone…remember, he WON A ROUND AGAINST GSP…in fact hes the LAST PERSON TO HAVE WON A ROUND AGAINST GSP….

hey isnt that hendo’s entire argument for a rematch with anderson? “oh i won a round against anderson so that means i deserve a rematch”

hardy has won 4 fights in the ufc…so by your logic ANYONE who wins 4 fights in the ufc should automatically get a shot…bullshit

jake shields is the highest ranked fighter to have never fought i highly ranked fighter...i cant wait till hendo signs to strikeforce and murders that talentless waste of flesh

by HellaHectic on Nov 24, 2009 4:55 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

He won a number one contender fight

Why is it ok to reneg on Hardy, but not ok to reneg on Hendo? Hendo had his chance and blew it, so did Kos. NEW BLOOD.

when kos fought gsp it wasnt a title fight….how many people in ufc history have had 12 wins in the octagon and not had a title fight? they just give them to dumbasses like hardy who win a few unimpressive fights over no one…plus the guy cant finish anyone

jay do u honestly believe that dan hardy could beat koscheck? really? do you? and how exactly?

kos fought the 2 best welterweights in the world thiago and gsp…and neither one of those guys could finish him….

how in the hell do you think hardy could beat koscheck? he sure as hell isnt gonna knock him out…with hardy’s 3 of 4 fights in the ufc goin to decision that isnt anything to worry about…is he gonna take kos down and gnp him? yea right ok…

"he sure as hell isnt gonna knock him out"

How can you be SO sure that Hardy can not punch atleast as hard as Paulo Thiago? You know the guy who just knocked Kos out in the first round, with a punch? Apparently you were not aware of that fight result, so maybe you should do a little research before you start trying to sound like you know anything. Your post should just be ignored by everyone and you should watch some fights before you post again.

If you watch a couple of seconds before the illegal knee, KOS gets Rumble’s tape from his glove across the eye…how is that faking.

Hey,

Genius, I know your too naive to think outside the box, but it is possible that he did get poked in the eye, and yet still milked it by acting more hurt than he really was. Everything really is just black and white for you huh?

I tend to agree. He was poked, and he milked it. But AJ was out of his mind throwing that knee.

Great retort.

Good job thinking on your feet by coming up with a nonsensical retort after being nudged to the reality of the situation.I have no reason to be jaded in regards to koscheck because i neither like or dislike him as a fighter. However after witnessing his “performance” it was obvious that he was milking it to recover from some big shots. Props to him for clearing his head and coming back to fight a smart fight and win. nice try MMeh

Funny you call me out for being nonsensical and then go on to tell me what somebody else was feeling after getting tape to the eye, two eye-jammies and an illegal knee within a second or two. I think I will err on the side of caution and give Kos the bennifit of the doubt in that situation. I’m glad we have mind readers on this site like you JRE, or else we would never know what really happened.

You used the correct sentence structure, but insinuating you’re logical is not correct. You think because you saw physical bodies (in HD mind you) that you know exactly what Kos was thinking and feeling, and that he was so clearly faking it. That is not logical at all. Nice try though.

Exactly, he should at least avenge the Thiago defeat first and at this stage of his career, Trigg is no longer a worthwhile opponent for a top 5/10 WW. I guarantee that he wouldn’t be saying anything if Dan hadn’t have humbled his boy Swick.

Humbled Swick

I doubt there is any AKA brotherly love. Kos would have used his victory to call out anyone who was next in line. Hardy was correct that the most deserving being Fitch and Alves have both had there shot and have to wait a couple more fights for a rematch. Outside of those two I see no one qualified so it’s a hype fest to see who can sell the most ppv’s and win Dana’s heart. Silva ran into the same trouble when he clean out the MW’s

The UFC has known all along that they needed an opponent for GSP for February/March. So no, leaving GSP on the shelf for another three or four months while awaiting the outcome of a Hardy/Koscheck fight was never an option. And the UFC likes the idea of the first ever UK title challenger. Kos had a crack at GSP and lost, and hasn’t been able to string a winning streak together.

Hardy is a lot better then most of you give him credit for!

Hardy is a very good fighter whether or not you guys want to acknowledge it! He has good size for his division but more importantly he is very strong mentally. This guy is a born fighter and a helluva entertainer! He has top shelf stand up there with Alves and Semtex. His mental and Physical toughness are his best attributes, but he has some serious skills as well. He might not have deserved the title shot, but he is a very worthy challenger considering that GSP has cleaned out the division and Joe Silva does a crappy job with matchmaking, always muddying up divisions so there is rarely a clear cut contender!

Hardy better be training his TD defense with Brock Lesnar and his ju jitsu with Maia, because if he doesnt get to use his top shelf stand up, then he will be at a sever disadvantage, Hardy has good jits and TD defense, but GSP has proved to be mechanical in his TD and grind em out, G n P! I have probably been dan Hardy’s biggest fan on this site, but odds are that GSP never lets him get going in the stand up and submitting GSP is about as easy as Ko’ing Dan Henderson..

I will say that Hardy is a very tough guy, and this fight wont be easy for GSP, but its not ending early! This fight will go into the championship rounds unless Hardy can keep the fight standing and finish GSP early! Hate to bet against Hardy, but my money will be on GSP

by John G. on Nov 24, 2009 1:19 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Look john I’m kinda of tired to always get into debate with you every time that GSP is fighting. You always saying the same shit over and over. Open your ears my friend once and for all. GSP won’t get battered like you said he would against BJ and Alves and this fight won’t even be close. It’s gonna end before the 3rd rnd. IT WILL BE EASY.
If you could just go take a look at all the GSP fights on FightMetric.com, you’ll see that he out-strikes all of his opponents…on their feet or on the ground. What make you always believe that he won’t stand and trade with a guy with a poor stand up? Yeah I say poor! His boxing is nothing to be concern about, he’s very slow (way slower than Alves) His footworks isn’t that bad but that’s it. Do you really think that a purple belt will be threatening on the ground also? “Hardy has good jits and TD defense”…LMFAO. Man, I can’t believe that every times, you are audacious enough to say that you like GSP. Why you can’t get your facts strait? This is getting ridiculous.

I don’t know why Hardy is talking about hyping the fight. The fight doesn’t need controversy to make it big. It will be big because its a title fight and because GSP is one of the top stars in MMA. I’m not really interested in Hardy’s trash talking.

I usually never doubt GSP...

I am trying to think… Has anyone tested Hardys takedown defense? I only ask because we know GSP can get dazed from punches (Serra did it) and we know Hardy has the hands to hurt someone… I mean if he has some decent takedown defense and can make this stay standing who knows…

But yea if it hits the ground I see GSP winning quickly

Watch the Hardy/Davis fight

Davis was able to take him down and control him for short periods. Hardy has no wrestling pedigree. Even if he did, who cares? GSP’s wrestling is light years ahead of any other WW in the world.

Hardy is growing on me

MMA needs a few villians I think. There are so many good guys in this sport, largely because it is predecated on respect and honor. Guys that I love rooting for like GSP, Fedor, Nog brothers, Lyoto, Kenny Florian etc….However, it does add to the fun to have a villian to root against as well. Hardy is an exciting fighter, and is easy to root against. He plays the part well, and he has backed up his talk to this point. It will be a different story against GSP, but Hardy will still make it a story I am interested in none the less.

domination

GSP will take this fight where ever he pleases. I think complete domination in the first round. I’d like to say KO or TKO. It’s a joke that they are actually gonna try and push this fight and promote it. Hardy isn’t even Top 10! I’d rather watch Hughes get his ass kicked again than Hardy.

Was Kos ever considered a number one contender?

I knew he beat Diego, but then lost to GSP and never got a title shot. Just asking.

Only if he had beaten Alves

He is only 3-2 in his last five fights though, each time he gets close he loses. Earlier in his career it was the same, beat Diego to make it 5 in a row, then lost to GSP for # 1 contender status.

Not so fast.

I woldn’t say that I can’t stand GSP, but with me it’s more the following. I always seem to root against the guy the has the Obama like following. For example; I know Fedor is a monster and arguably the best P4P fighter in the world, but it’s the incessant drooling of the fans that drives me nuts.
It’s the same with GSP. I love watching him fight, but again, it’s the cult like status the fans have placed on these guys on it makes me want to see them lose. However, that certainly does not mean I don’t think they are as good as we think they are. I just enjoy rooring against them.

Hardly has a punchers chance

but GSP will control the distance with his lightning fast jab. Either way Hardy is a douche for even thinking he deserves to be in the cage with GSP. No one in the WW division does. Swick, Fitch, and Alves are at the top and none of them could produce a PPV I would buy. GSP needs a fight though whch is the only reason Hardy is goin in. What I’d love to see is Swick v Fitch and Kos v Alves, then the winners fight. The AKA guys need to fight each other, and they would all be good match ups (and yes I know alves isnt aka)

True

That guy made no sense, Hardy sucks because he beat top ranked Swick…OK.

Hardy and Semtex both beat the top 2 contenders so they deserve a shot as much as Swick and Kampmann did, not their fault that them 2 didn’t fight and GSP has already dominated Fitch, Alves and Kos recently, let them get a good run going before getting another title fight.

Hardy VS Kos would be an entertaining fight to watch and do think they should fight first. Either way I just want to see GSP get back in there, we always have to wait so long between his fights and I know he was injured in the Alves fight.

by HEELHOOK on Nov 24, 2009 12:34 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

Its pretty simple...

I for one favor the Hardy vs KOS bout first… I’ve been thinking about why thats not going to happen though. For one GSP needs/deserves to defend against whoever. If he accepts this fight than the GSP faithful should as well.

The simple part is looking at it this way.

Kos Lost to GSP and has a loss (brutal KTFO) via P.Thiago on the road back to the top spot. Had he not lost we may not have this argument to debate.

Hardy may not be the MOST deserving but he is deserving… Markham/Davis/Swick is a great win streak to have.

Who here thought Couture beat Vera? Me personally I’m glad Vera lost because he didnt do anything to secure the win. Gassed out when he couldve finished, but all Couture did was hold him up against the cage and get takedowns without inflicting any damage. You get the nod from the judges for that and not the clean striking and knockdowns that Vera had.

Hey Bigger Z…I haven’t put down their fighting abilities, and I posted above that I don’t like them cause they’re dumb as shit (an opinion). There has been a trend (especially in MMA) for fighters to not only be fighters but well educated and I for one like it. It shows that you don’t have to be a person with no other options than fight. The Diaz bros. are the exact opposite of this trend, and they talk so much stupid shit before a match that it’s annoying to say the least. I don’t think they personally have accomplished that much, you have to train both your body and mind to be a great fighter, and they’ve only been working on the body….pick up a damn book.
Anyways, I only made the post in passing to show that people may not like fighters, but they should be able to see past that and appreciate their skill.

War Diaz Bros

They both know how to hype a fight but that doesn’t make them dumb, sure they’re not the most well spoken blokes but they’re not as daft as they look. Part of their appeal is that they act and speak different to everyone else, that’s what I like about MMA there are so many contrasting characters in the sport. Plus they’re both very talented and always have exciting fights, hopefully Nate can work on his wrestling as that’s what’s holding him back while Nick needs to sort out the marijuana BS as it’s holding him back.

Dude I’m getting serious b/c you made fun of GSP with the Kermit insinuation. This shit is offensive for Quebecois like my self. You can say your opinion of him, that “he gets on your nerves”, I don’t mind, but when you get on a personal level by insulting not only him, but others as well…I’m sure you can figure that out?.

You didn’t offend me (as a Canadian) cause I’m from the good part of the country…JK Alpha, most of my family is from your neck of the woods.

Good part of Canada = oxymoron

Joking my Canadian friends, too tempting to let that one slip. I’m just jealous because Canada is a beautiful country while I live in a horrible cold island that’s the laughing stock of the world.

lol, it’s all good fellas. My bad I was a little bit cranky this morning. After an early 4:20 break I feel way better now.

Could you guys tell me the definition of oxymoron please. It looks like I’m the only one who doesn’t know what it means.

I’m from Southern Ontario, but the family I was referring to in Quebec are currently living in Chateauguay.

Only if the fight happens in Nottingham, goes to a decision and the same judges that gave Froch the win over Dirrell team up with Cecil Peoples. Nottingham’s already cheated one foreigner out of a world title, surely they can’t give another hometown decision.

Hardy needs to talk trash!?

Maybe he figures it’s the only way an undeserving fighter, who on his best day has little-to-no chance of beating GSP and he figures he has to try and drum -up some interest in this fight.

my prediction

expectations for Hardy’s performance are so low that he’s going to be praised for ANY bit of offense or resistance he offers. GSP will win convincingly, and Goldberg will say, “No one expected Hardy to hang with GSP like he did; Dan Hardy gained a lot of respect in the MMA world tonight.”

and it won’t matter that he got owned Penn-style, or Fitch-style, or Alves-style

ha ha ha

That’s very sad however probs fairly accurate. Goldberg n Rogan should always be taken with a grain of salt. Only problem is the hardcores no that. The newbies or part timers tend to just listen to em n follow along.
