UFC Quick Quote: Is Dan Hardy at 'the top of the ladder' in his division?

Dan_hardy_medium_medium

"Welcome to England Carlos. I'm gonna knock you out, stamp your passport, and send you back home. He's gonna step in there thinking he can fight me like he has fought everybody else, and I'll hit him one time and change his mind - if he's still awake. I could beat him any day of the week, whenever, wherever. I don't see anything in his game that concerns me. He's not gonna hurt me with his striking, if he even lands a punch. He's scrappy and he's wild. I could close my eyes and throw a punch in any direction and it would still hit him in the face. He needs to be sitting down with his coach and figuring what else he can do for a career. This is the top of the ladder, this is as far as he goes, send some job applications out for something else."

"The Outlaw" (via ESPN.co.uk) continues to crank up the anger, and trash talk, for his pivotal welterweight showdown with Carlos Condit at UFC 120, which will go down from the O2 Arena in London, England, this Saturday (Oct. 16) on Spike TV. Hardy plans on giving "The Natural Born Killer" his pink slip and a map to the unemployment office in front of a pro-Limey crowd, but is he posturing now and paying for it later? And if Dan Hardy is at "the top of the ladder," then where does that leave Fitch, Koscheck and even Shields? How about Alves? Rankings, please.

Question

When Carlos kicks your ass, what are you going to say then Mr. “doesn’t really knock anyone out” Hardy?

We fight, get beat, rise and fight again.

good question

winner/loser matched with penn/hughes winner/loser

I'm getting tired of Hardy!

Just STFU already!!! Can’t wait for Condit to finish him!

Anderson Silva is by far the number one P4P king!!! Even when he is losing a fight he still comes back and finishes for the win! GSP dominates the whole fight and still can't finish! LOL

I'm a fan and I picked Hardy and even I'm starting to want Carlos to win

He’s talking way too much right now and it’s just getting annoying at this point. He needs to just shut up and prove himself in the cage, let his skills speak for themselves for once.

Exactly! I have never really been bothered by it and like him..... a little.

But he is going to far. IMO it makes it that much worse when you lose. When you talk that much shit, it has to put some added pressure on you. Not only is he fighting at home, but now he has to back up his talk in front of the home crowd.

Top of the ladder - NO

He’s on the ladder but not at the top. More like on the lower rungs.

Guys’ he’d have to fight IMO (and beat or be VERY competitive with) before I’d put him at the top.

Kos
Fitch
Alves
Daley
Kampmann
Thiago
Ellenberger
Hughes (maybe a stretch)

by Dugout on Oct 14, 2010 12:20 PM EDT reply actions  

Even Hughes isn't a stretch

His best win was over Mike Swick- He landed a lot of shots in that fight and still couldn’t finish. I can’t wait until we don’t have to talk about this guy anymore.

Yep - you're both right.

Hughes has looked good as of late and would pose some serious problems for Hardy. Hughes has solid wrestling and some decent subs. Both of Hardy’s weak points.

I see the sub-escape on GSP as more of a technical lapse on GSP’s part than superior sub-defense on Hardy’s part.

Deuce – You’re Bang on….this idiot needs to get his mouth shut again and Carlos is going to do it. Carlos can take a beating and keep going and eventually finish you off. Ellenberger was thumping him and he somehow stayed in there.

I'm thinking Matt Hughes would kill Hardy.

I find it hard to believe Hughes would have any problem breaking Hardy’s arm/leg/face

He admits that he let go of the armbar on Royce because he knew that he'd snap before he'd tap so maybe he'd do the same if Dan refused to tap again

Hughes probabaly would beat Dan at this point though, unless his wrestling has gotten a lot better.

I think he has a lot more respect for Royce than he does Hardy.

I could be wrong, but I think it’s a respect thing. And I’m sure leading up to the fight, Matt would lose all (if any) respect that he may have had for him. He would enjoy breaking one of Hardy’s limbs!

This shit talking is really, really annoying

What has he done to be considered a world beater? He won a split decision against Marcus Davis? That same Marcus Davis that got KTFO by Ben Saunders- who is no longer in the UFC….I know mma math sucks, but come on man. Dan Hardy just needs to STFU. The UFC really, really wants a legit UK fighter (as in contender). They seem to think that the dude with the mohawk is going to sell, so they build him up. Really, they should be focusing more time and energy into the Hathaways of the world.

That's exactly it

It’s all business. There are those of us who will tune it to watch Carlos smack this loudmouth around and there are those who want to see Hardy win. Either way, it’s all $$$ to the UFC. And if Hardy’s smack-talk elicits emotion from either side it’s going to draw attention one way or another.

You hit Mike Swick with these so called power shots and didn’t knock him out. I’m really getting sick of this duesh bag running his moth thinking he’s at the top. Just because the kingpin didn’t finish you doesn’t make you the top of the division! You’ve never fought a top 5 WW! Let’s go Condit!!

actually

in writing, Hardy comes off as a bit of a douche, but when I watch his interviews I can see he’s simply playing the game (hype) and in between all the trash talk he throws in a bunch of humility (such as admitting that his wrestling and bjj sucks). Seems like a likable character, but I’m pulling for Carlos in this one.

If all the players had medical conditions that prevented them from eating in previous years and if they were still highly competative even though they could not eat and if after years of dealing with the condition, they finally had it properly diganosed and could begin to deal with it.

So next time FEDOR is kicking your ass, don't be offended or hurt, he may be just trying to tell you he likes your hat.

Not a nice catch. Fail to both of you. It was a quote from Ferris Bueller, probably paraphrased somewhat, when that spacy chick was telling the monotone teacher what happened to Ferris when he didn’t answer during roll call.

It went something like

I thought the 31 Flavors part would enough to tip it off.

I just don’t hear too many people quoting Bueller. Good movie for sure, but it was obviously over my head.

haha yeah Hughes is 4.

Alves never knocked his block off or anything. Nor did Alves whoop Kos’ ass

swick as 5?

I believe the flying knee was lucky

Hughes beats Alvez more than half the time imo. Alves can’t even make weight these days, he’s lucky to be top ten.

by H.I. McDunnough on Oct 14, 2010 1:10 PM EDT up reply actions  

how can a flying knee be lucky?

he aimed a knee, threw it, and connected hard

was he just jumping up and down throwing knees and happened to catch hughes? nope.

the word lucky does not belong anywhere in here

One of the most frustrating words associated with mma IMO. H.I. I do not see eye to eye with you, at all man.

True I wouldn't say lucky. What was lucky is that he got matched up with Hughes in the first place.

If he doesn’t knock Hughes out we arn’t talking about him.

by doonerthesooner on Oct 14, 2010 1:46 PM EDT up reply actions  

He was coming off a KO win over supposed number one contender Karo and 85 needed a main event

The only thing lucky about Alves getting that fight was that Hughes didn’t refuse to fight him when he didn’t make weight.

Deuce I agree completely, one of my pet hates in MMA is the idea that you can win by luck. Unless someone’s leg snaps in a fluke accident (Corey Hill, J-Mac) or someone is gifted a decision or a bad stoppage then there is no luck. There is no such thing as a lucky punch and it doesn’t half annoy me when people talk down about wins by using that daft term.

Awful list, top 3 aside

Hathaway isn’t even in your top 16 despite being undefeated and coming off dominant wins over Diego (your #10) as well as Ricky Story, Hughes is ranked too high considering that his only major win since losing the WW title was over Almeida and Swick shouldn’t be in the top 10 nevermind #5 (having an eating disorder hindering your progress is not a reason to be a top 5 WW). I’ll admit that the rest are debatable and I don’t have a problem with but any list lacking Hathaway at this point and having Hughes and Swick in the top 5 is flawed.

He fights their weaknesses not their strengths. We all know GSP could dummy hardy in a stand up fight but knew he would win on the ground. And sorry who did he beat again? Lol

i was watching ufc unleashed last night

and my problem with Rogan and Goldie is there talk so much about each fighter, and stupid crap about them, instead of actually commentating on what is happening

drove me nuts

what does this have to do with this thread? who knows

Its kind of hard to say ur at the top when ur biggest win is against marcus davis..ur not better then gsp,kos,fitch,hughes,condit,paulo thiago,kampmann,shields,alves and im probably missing somebody.please condit shut this dude up

by phatmacjuggalo10 on Oct 14, 2010 1:52 PM EDT reply actions  

Swick's a bigger win than Davis, as is Gono imo

He isn’t a top guy though I think he’s better than you give him credit for. Talking all sorts of shit for no reason isn’t doing Dan any favours though.

Ya swick is his biggest win for sure...

 Davis just got his ass handed to him by little Nate a natural 155er, hardy is top 10 but not top 5.

I think Nate has grown into 170 now

Like his brother he’s started to bulk up so he can’t make the lower weight anymore, and if he tries then he’ll just end up too scrawny and dehydrated to do anything. Marcus has looked very bad since losing to Hardy though, I wouldn’t be surprised if he retires now (in fact I called Diaz beating him into retirement).

Off subject

but I cant wait to see who they feed to Story next.Maybe the winner of Condit Hardy because he definitely deserves to fight a top ten guy after what he did to Hazelett.Never seen Hazelett get bullied around like that not even by Kos.

I come to the conclusion yanks love to hate the uk fighters.

Its like you get a buzz off it, out of all the fighters in the UFC you think Bizz and Hardy talk shit and dont know what their on about? Get a fucking grip man. The amount of fighters from the US that talk out their ass is massive Whats impressive is that out of 2 training camps in the whole of the uk these 2 have made it this far. Harfdy and Bizz will boyj win, no dout about it.

There's more than 2 British MMA camps

London Shootfighters have some good fighters including Hathaway and Zaromskis, they may not get the press that Wolfslair or Rough House do but they must be doing something right as John is always well prepared and is getting better all of the time.

Some Americans like to bash the British fighters but Bisping and Hardy don’t help themselves by chatting shit when they’ve both been protected at times and fastracked to title contendership.

Hardy seems to have started rubbing people up the wrong way

But if the world were full of Jon Fitches and John Hathaways we’d have nothing to read about!

Why does this guy think he's so great???

His biggest win is a boring fuckin decision over mike swick…and his biggest claim to fame is surviving gsp submissions…he’s not even top ten…this guy is fucking delusional.. I’m starting to become a Dan hardy hater…I try to stay objective wen these fights r announced but this guy jus makes it too easy to hate him
