UFC Quick Quote: Martial arts is about going to war, not wearing pajamas

"As far as saying I’m not a martial artist… Because he walks out in the Octagon in his pajamas he’s a martial artist and I’m not? He knows nothing about me… I’ve been doing martial arts my whole life. I’ll brawl… but I think about what I’m doing. I’m a cerebral fighter.... Martial arts is about going to war… and it’s about messing people up. And that’s what I’m going to do.... My workout is the winning formula. You can't put muscles here (pointing to his face). And that's all I'm aiming for... He can jump higher than me. He can lift trucks. It makes no different to me. When I connect on his chin he can lift all he wants… he's still going down."
-- Number one welterweight contender, Dan Hardy, is not impressed with the athleticism and walkout gear of the reigning 170-pound champion, Georges St. Pierre. "The Outlaw" is only concerned with punching "Rush" in the face several times, which apparently all the muscles and God-given athletic ability in the world can't stop from hurting. Of course, Hardy has to remain upright to execute his gameplan, which is a rather daunting task when it comes to the crafty Canadian. Will Hardy find an opening, drop one on the button and put St. Pierre down for a nappy before he gets to put his jammies back on or is he simply talking a better game than what we will see at UFC 111 on March 27?

The last one.
Talking a better game.
But it’s entertaining as HECK though.
“i’ll knock the fake tan off (of GSP)” ?? BRILLIANT.
YEAH!!!
It is a true statement about the if he connects he wins, it is like saying…
That other football team might be bigger, strong, faster and know a whole hell of a lot about playing the sport BUT our team is scrappy and if we score more touchdowns (or goals, depending on what you call football lol) then our team will win.

Hardy only has to connect once, which I'm guessing is the point he's making,
GSP would not be able to take out Hardy with one punch. Hardy has been hit quite few times in the face with solid shots and not even been phased. I know GSP has only been knocked out once, but that is because no one has been able to land anything serious, which is a testament to his skills and one of the reasons why many, including myself consider him p4p the best (purely because of the high level opponents he has faced). If they got into a slugfest I would give it to Hardy. I believe Hardy hits harder and can take a better punch. I know GSP is the superior striker, but I see it being a Sakara / Leban scenario where even though Sakara had the superior striking skills, Lebans chin and power gave him the victory. GSP managed to get away with not taking any real damage when he fought Alves, I am looking forward to seeing him avoid not getting caught for five rounds. I know everybody says that Alves is better striker than Hardy and he lost to GSP, but no two fights are the same, and every round starts standing up, and Hardy like Alves, has got what it takes to cause an upset while he’s up on his feet.
I'm liking Hardy MORE and MORE everytime i see him train, fight, and do interviews
still won’t change much come 111 but still.
I'm not afraid of dying, I'm a little bit scared of what comes after

yes me to
i cant figure out why i like this guy more than bisping, considering the fact hardy might be more of a trash talker. I think maybe bisbing reminds me of someone i went to school with or something, Cant put my finger on it .
Bisping was/is Arrogant
Hardy is a trash talker n’ tough as nails, but I never thought of him as arrogant
actually gsp's exact words were
BJ Penn was very personal, Matt Serra was funny, and Ardy’ is arrogant. So its 3 different personality.

LOL anything is possible
But on the ground this will GSP`s easiest fight in sometime and I can`t see Hardy stopping GSP from taking him there and I don`t see HArdy giving GSP anymore problems on the ground than Fitch, Alves or GSP did. Infact I think Serra would have a better chance on the ground than Hardy?

Correction.......Fitch Alves or BJ did..........

GSP will stand...
for awhile, he’ll mix it up with Hardy and that’ll be his one of a few chances to KO GSP, …but just as Hardy is looking to connect one, he’ll be on his back quicker than u can say… Sprawl!!
Hardy will still be talking shit while sayin' "SPRAWL"...
The more Hardy talks trash, the more I like his chances of winning. Confidence is the key mates!

Exactly
Alves’ camp was saying that Alves is almost impossible to take down yet GSP did it over and over again. It’s very, very difficult to train for a guy like GSP. So even though Hardy says he’s ready for the takedowns and training for them and is able to get back up from them, it’s another thing to actually do it against GSP.
GSP is gonna chew him up standing THEN takedown then sub.
I think he either armbars him or more likely RNC. Remember people Fitch and Alves are a couple of leagues above Hardy yet GSP ran over both. Hardy is good but please don’t believe Dana saying he has perfect boxing technique and rubber guard and blah blah blah….

i get flamed a lot for saying it but, didnt most people see torres never losing til a hard puncher like bowles stepped up? same with urijah faber and then mike brown, how about chuck?
i totally undestand how gsp can win/ probably will win but im still taking hardy man its to good of a feeling on this one to not take,
i did take gsp over alves,fitch,serra,and bj though

GSP is legitimately proven.. Fans don’t/didn’t feel the same way about Torres that they do GSP… Apples n’ Oranges…. but I like the bravado’ in your picks RM… now havin’ said that… Ru F*cKiN KiDiN’ mE???
I rally don`t see Hardy giving GSP any troubles standing
BJ Penn is one of the best boxers if not best in the game, Hardy is a few notches below granted he has the power though.

Hardy has a puncher's Chance
All Hardy’s really got is a Matt Serra Chance…
exactly.
i am a massive GSP fan, and think he will dominate. but there is always the punchers chance! and its mma so anything can happen.

Every round starts standing, he may only get one small opening and Hardy has to take it.
I’m from England and used to love bisping, till it became obvious he was an arrogant. Hardys’ trash talk is just funny, hope he backs it up!!

Then Ardy: “Well that doesn’t sound very helpful or likely!”

so hardy is training with serra for full 2-3 weeks leading up to this fight?
isnt it bad hardy didnt have a gym lined up to train in? or they just say that to feed into the ‘story line’?

hardy is no joke on the ground either
thats what everyone is saying gsp wrestling will over power him. .. hardy has really good bjj.. ya so does penn and he couldnt do nothing but hardy is alot stronger than penn and gsp mite not expect a sub from hardy but it could happen..he knows submissions!!!!
My Balls Your Chin
Proof? He seemed like a fish out of water when Davis had him on his back.
His grappling/wrestling/JJ isn’t better than Alves/Fitch/Kos And we know how those fights went.
Hardy might just have the worst ground game in the entire WW division, don’t try to church this up for Hardy.

ya ya..
your right about that, but hardy knows what he’s in for agaist gsp, lots of takedowns and ground n pound and a hell of a athlete. his last fights have all been against stand up fighters, all of them, davis, markham, swick. all focus mostly on the stand up. so he trained to stand and fight like he always does, with gsp he its completely different his ground game will look much better than before cuz hes training for that.
My Balls Your Chin
GSP isn't going to take him down. So his training is useless. GSP is going to KO Hardy in the first three rounds. Remember that.

Serra has better KO power..
Also, Hardy couldn’t even KO swick after having him so hurt.. While Swick has one of the weakest chins in the game(Been saying this forever, glad Thiago proved it).
If that punch knocked out Markham
It could knockout alot of people. A chin is a chin.
by theworldismine on Mar 17, 2010 1:36 PM EDT up reply actions
Unless that person was Mark Hunt..
Then I don’t agree. All chins are not created equally.
A chin is a chin??
Sorry man everybody has a different chin look at AA who has been KO in two straight fights and look at Hendo who has taken many chin shots from bigger opponents and has yet to be KO. To say a chin is a chin is retarded.
"Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth - Mike Tyson
Most people not named Rory Markham wouldn't have gotten themselves in that situation.
Dan Hardy can knock me out so he will knock GSP out? Poor logic theworldismine.

Poor perspective jay and the rest of you
For when did I ever say he WILL knockout GSP? Point it out please; what I did say was that a punch like that can rock ANYBODY in that division, including GSP. And your logic is questionable if you can say any fight for any fighter will be easy. If GSP thought that way about the fight he’d lose. Id really like a return comment on this if you come back to this thread bud
by theworldismine on Mar 17, 2010 7:09 PM EDT up reply actions
some ppl do have better chins yes
But right spot will send anyone tumbling down. So its a open debate with no real right or wrong answer. Easy to debate for both sides.
And AA was an awful example. I think being KO’d by a huge Rogers who had (t)ko’d all his opponents, and being KO’d by Fedor is not exactly a bad thing. Its actually in fashion to do so.

True,
GSP took a solid number of shots without going out. I don’t think GSP has an iron chin, but by no means is it weak.
Serra hits like truck and yet couldn't put GSP to sleep with all those power shots one after the other.

Misaki was mad that Akiyama greased against Sakuraba and let all the children of the world down.
Then he said he would never fight Akiyama but Akiyama kept winning and letting all the children of the world down so Misaki had to fight him.
Misaki then beat him with a soccer kick (which was later disputed) and gave Akiyama a verbal beatdown and told him to apologize to all the children of the world he let down.
Akiyama said, “Yes, I will do that”

Hardy's got nothing to offer
All Hardy’s gameplan sounds like is to punch GSP in the face.. He says he knows he cant stop the takedown, so how does he plan on executing his punch his face gameplan from his back? GSP takes this one easy.

He knows how to stop the takedown (he says)!!!!
Remember Koschek talking about how theres no way GSP can take him down, theres no way his wrestling is half what his was. LOL GSP took him down at will with ease the whole fight.
you cant gain muscle in your face?
tell that to Tito
Hardy Has the Right Attitude for this Fight
Say what you will about him getting a fast track to the title without having to face a top 5 WW, Hardy is approaching the fight with the right state of mind. I admire the martial artist mindset of fighters like GSP, Machida, and Fedor, but it’s also fun the have guys like Nick Diaz and Dan Hardy around. Wouldn’t put Hardy in Nick’s league yet, but at least he isn’t beaten before the fight starts. And he is entertaining. Its hard not to like the guy for some reason.
Naturally, we are all expecting GSP to run thru him with takedowns and GnP. But if Hardy can mange to get up a couple times without taking a lot of damage, we might see a good kick boxing scrap. GSP came into the sport with a karate background, so he has a full arsenal of strikes. And we know Hardy can bang. Would love to see GSP face some adversity striking-wise to see how he responds.
Hardy is right to come back on the “not a martial artist” comment, since he’s been training in martial arts since he was six. But GSP was likely referring to the state of mind, or perhaps the idea of being totally well-rounded.
Something tells me Hardy is going to put up a fight.
Got to like his attitude he's coming to fight and believes in himself.
Yeah he doesn’t realistically stand much of a chance but either does any other WW for that matter. It will be interesting to see how well he handles being takin down as GSP, who breaks fighters wills once he’s on top. It’s a art Hardy has no idea how well GSP performance it and will most likely be the end of his night before it even begins. GSP looked past one fighter in his career and I don’t believe it will happen a second time. GSP will control this fight at every phase and have little issue taking HArdy who is almost guaranteed to swing for the fences for a miracle punch and be takin down to the ground were GSP’s art of GnP will be showcased once again.

Cuz he is that. As we’ll see in less than 2 weeks.
he said
“I’m a martial artist, he’s not….he will see what that means.” I don’t care anymore personally….lets just get this fight on so Hardy can get beat the f down and we’ll move on to bigger better things……seriously, am I the only one sick of this bs?

It’s everywhere this time too, on the cover of MMA magazines, and on this site, there’s a new “Dan Hardy said this, or GSP said….whatever.” Honestly, Hardy isn’t in a position to talk smack to GSP at this point in his career. He’s SUCH an underdog in this fight that what he needs to do is just go prove himself….shut up, fight the fight, and talk shit afterward. (if he wins)

for him to say this guy isnt a martial artist wow……………….

im just ready to see hardy get smashed so we can see the kos/gsp rematch
kos is the last person to win a round against gsp and besides the fluke serra ko, kos has given gsp his toughest challenge since gsp’s first fight with bj…and that was 4 years ago…he had gsp on his back in the 2nd round of their fight and won that round….and gsp hasnt been on his back since….
i know most of yall are kos haters….but hows this for a statistic, gsp only has one more win than kos in the ufc….gsp is 13-2 and kos is 12-4….randy couture only has 3 more wins in the ufc than koscheck….randy only has 3 more wins in the ufc than kos…hes 15-7…..matt hughes only has 4 more wins than kos….is 16-5….and chuck liddell only has 4 more wins in the ufc than kos…and hes 16-6…
the biggest legends in ufc history..(randy, chuck, hughes, ) only have 4 more wins than kos has….they each have 16 and kos has 12…
and they are the only 4 of like 5 or 6 fighters in ufc history who have more wins than kos…kos deserves his title shot….anyone with 12 wins in the ufc deserves a title shot….
kos is the only person at 170 who has a chance of beating gsp…gsp destroys people with wrestling….he has given up on his striking….the only person that can keep it competitive is kos, he is the best wrestler at 170 2nd only to gsp….
gsp’s fight against kos was the first time we saw the new “wrestling” gsp…we got a glimpse of it when he beat hughes in their 2nd fight but he still mixed up the striking….he surprised kos with his wrestling ability, kos wasnt expecting gsp to come in with that kind of wrestling gameplan, and realize that he had gotten that good….it through off kos’s gameplan and he was just confused the entire fight and gsp just dominated the wrestling…
but kos is now a different fighter than he was back then, hes learned to use submissions and his gnp has gotten so good, hes learned to finish fights…his striking has gotten better, hes learned to use his striking to set up his takedowns which he had never done before….
plus he has the stamina to last 5 rounds with gsp, which alves and fitch and bj just couldnt do, they were beaten before the championship rounds started….kos isnt gonna gas….
but that all depends on kos beating daley first..
my dream fight would have to be Brock Lesnar vs Jake Shields...and before the fight theres a video of jake slapping brock's wife...then id like to see shields try to gay porn a win over brock using his butt sex merry-go-round tactics...the massacre that would take place would be the greatest thing ever televised...every limb jake has would look like corey hill's leg...god i hate jake shields

i like koscheck to but I just dont think he has what it takes
I agree with you about him totally being thrown off with gsp’s strategy and the only thing that saved koscheck from a submision loss in that fight was his own shorts
dont forget koschek is 31 and like 3 years older than gsp
at the end of the day as a koscheck fan he cant beat gsp
that was hellarious hella
You made mention of all these stats about these fighters records in comparison to Kos’ but left out the resume of fighters each faced! Randy, GSP, Chuck, etc maybe, just maybe, have faced better competition. Ha ha. Nice try though. And Kos got ’Serra’d’ by Paulo with no revenge (like GSP did) and lost to GSP with no revenge (like GSP did). Also GSP wasn’t fed cans (Trigg) and Paulo was supposed to be a gimme.
So undeserved its not even funny.

I hope hardy flat lines gsp I never like him much I respect his skills and thats about it, someone needs to bring gsp back to earth and hardy is just the man to do it
I see the biggest upset in ufc history approaching
Disrespectful? GSP is just not impressed...
So Hardy is now the #1 contender in WW division…
I tought he just made the top 10 with his decision against Swick?
Funny how the owners of the business say this now. Wake up and see the marketing.

Word, we all know he is not the #1 contender,
but people want to see him fight so throw him in there.
ha ha ya there is no debate on that
We all know #1 contender should be #2 in the weight class. Otherwise he’s simply a “legit contender”. And some can argue he isn’t even barely that. Plz nobody tell me he is #2 WW. Save yourself the embarrassment.

were u talking bout me being disrespectful toward hardy? i wasnt at all
i just dont think hes the true number 1 contender…hes had 4 fights in the ufc and hasnt fought a top calibur opponent…and 3 of those 4 fights went to a decision….and 2 of them were SPLIT decisions, meaning he hasnt even been winning his fights convincingly…now if he had just ran through those 4 opponents the way other top contenders have then he would have more of an argument…
jon fitch had to win 8 straight fights before he got his shot at the title and gsp….alves had to win 7 straight before he got his shot at the title…and 5 of those 7 wins were ko’s or tko’s
and diego sanchez had to get 10 wins in the ufc before he finally got a title shot..
it took kenflo 9 wins before he got his title shot….its fucking ridiculous for hardy to get his title shot now, especially when he cant finish a fight
my dream fight would have to be Brock Lesnar vs Jake Shields...and before the fight theres a video of jake slapping brock's wife...then id like to see shields try to gay porn a win over brock using his butt sex merry-go-round tactics...the massacre that would take place would be the greatest thing ever televised...every limb jake has would look like corey hill's leg...god i hate jake shields
no I was talking about gsp remark on the primetime show when he said hardy is not even a mixed martial artist
I wasnt crazy about hardy getting the next shot at first either but ill tell you I would much rather see hardy test his skills against gsp than watch a rematch of kos,fitch,alves who were all utterly dominated
Hardy Sucks
I hope GSP Knocks him out in the first one . All he does is talk shit saying how he gonna knock GSP out yet he cant even finish swick after he got rocked in the 1st or 2nd. GSP can win by anything he wants .
GSP doesn’t knock anyone out anymore. He practices wrestling in the ring and uses his strength to dominate which is why he could make the climb to 185. He has become boring at 170 imo……and I’m from Toronto (I guess I have to love him??)
I lve it when people say he is a boring fighter,
GSP is one guy in the UFC that has not had any boring fights. he is one of the busiest fighters in MMA. He is always striking, doing a takedown or on top of you dropping elbows. Enough with the biased attitudes already, its just ridiculous.
Hella
It probably is ridiculous that Hardy got a shot so early, but thats MMA (sorry for the cliche) and the UFC have to sell a product. They cant sell many other GSP fights at the moment just because GSP has demolished them all. Granted he may probably demolish Hardy too, but its an easy sell because he’s fighting a brash trash-talking guy with a good style, plus he’s keeping the British fans happy by giving one of their own a title-shot. Even Hardy himself admits it came quickly, but he’s not going to turn it down. I’m sure those guys you mentioned will get their chance if they keep winning, but this fight is happened so maybe just enjoy it.

lol I think GSP touched a nerve :P
Dan sounds pissed in that interview over the comments made
its funny how Dan is awlays
trying to stir shit up before all of his fights but now he is the one that seems a little pissed about what the other guy said. Talk all you want, GSP doesnt play that game. Usually the shit talkers get beat up real bad, Matt Hughes, BJ Penn.
Dan doesnt have him doing anything except for training.
GSP doesnt talk shit, he lets the other guy do all the talking so when he destroys you in the ring you look twice as bad.
for him to say he is no martial artist
oh george my boy is playing
Open up the Shit Gates and God Bless Marv
it is rather funny
I love when a new ‘challenger’ steps up to fight GSP and they begin the shit talking. They constantly talk and yap and boast while GSP laughs or stays extremely humble. He says one true thing, and the other guys flips his lid. Ha ha. Only the challenger is allowed to chirp apparently. Waaaah! Lol

Thats one of the great things about GSP.
He never gets caught up in all the BS, he just goes in there and kicks your ASS!! He is what MMA is all about.
confused?
I’m simply not going to be outlasted in this is all.

WAR?????????????????
The guy hasn’t beaten anyone in the top 10. He’s delusional if thinks he can beat GSP/
Calu
I absolutely love his attitude. MMA is a war – fck all the respect before the fight, the hand shakes at the weigh ins, the hugging at the beginning of the thrid or fifth round, etc. Doesn’t happen in hockey or football. After the fight respect can be shown, but before hand is another pet peave of mine.
djf agree 100%
I mean how many times can you shake a guys hands
1) touch gloves at the beginning of the stardown
2) touch gloves when the ref says to touch
3) touch gloves at the start of the 1st rd
4) start of 2cnd rd
5 start of 5th rd
give me a fucking break thats why i cant wait until a silva gets smashed all his bowing is all bullshit that turns into mocking his opponent
go see how many times couture vs liddell touched gloves when they went to war …..once
HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

will be a complete domination
Gsp will get him down early and pound him each round until he finally gets the fight stopped due to a giant gash on Hardys forhead. He will resemble Shamrock in his first fight with Tito. But you cant blame him for trying to sell the fight.
primetime thread
Okay boys we did it!!! Another successful GSP thread with the minimum allowance for posts of 100.
But no time to pat ourselves on the back. They released a primetime GSP thread. Time to head over there and get those posts rising! See ya there!

What??
Is Serra gonna teach Hardy that he doesn’t already know? “punch him here to wobble him, then go for the kill”. Hahaha. Will he also teach him how to get tossed around, then kneed in the side, while curled up in a ball, until his kidneys explode??
May as well go and ask Hughes how to do an armbar, and how to open your face up for a 50 mph shin to the mouth.

That was awesome,
I dont think Matt dissed him or Canada again after that fight, not that we know anyways! lol
Gi = PJ's . . . . .
Hardys gonna catch many a beat down throughout his career for for this comment lol. Whats funnier is him calling them Pajamas then showing up to train with a nearly half Gracie in Matt Serra. Good stuff, rediculous, but good stuff. Couldnt be more off the wall if i wrote this shit out lol!!! GSP, with ease . . . . (Not “grease”, “ease” i said . . . . he he he)

"Going to War & messing people up"
Funny, I always thought Martials Arts was about Respect & Honour, especially for your opponent. To call someones GI pajama’s is just dissing all of Martial Arts isnt it? I liked Dan form the begining but am starting to dislike him just for being a total ASS all the time. He just takes it to far, he is almost like a little Tito Ortiz that just cant stop running his mouth. He dis’s everyone and everything, its getting harder and harder to keep liking this guy.
Won't Go All 5
I’ve seen it on here a couple of times and I agree; GSP is out to prove something against Hardy. If you’ll remember, all the talk by the BJ camp in regard to GSP being a quitter lit a fire under Rush and I think it pushed him to get Penn to quite. I think Hardy’s talk about KO’ing GSP is doing the same thing. What was it his camp said, “all I know is if you hit GSP cleanly he falls over”? I take Hardy’s camp hasn’t seen much Rush video as he has taken a ton of clean shots by BJ, Fitch and even a couple of nice ones by Alves and didn’t fall over. In fact, the Serra hit that caught him wasn’t clean (just behind the ear). As for finishing, I’ve got to laugh when, GSP’s ability to finish comes up. Do you homework lads; out of 19 wins GSP has managed a KO, TKO or Sub in about half. Not too bad!
In short, all those that continue to talk about GSP having a suspect chin or an inability to finish are going to have to come up with new reasons to dis him after UFC 111.
Some day GSP will lose again
I get sick of the same people that think it’s going to happen every fight. I swear someone like john g, who picks the upset every time is annoying! You know some day he will be right and he will rub it in our faces, but let’s just remember that he was wrong every other time. Sorry john, but you’ve just been picking anti-gsp on here longer than anyone so I had to pick on you :).
When that day comes I hope that he will lose because he got beat by a better fighter, and not because he made a mistake and got caught by an inferior fighter.
nice post LJ .. I am a big GSP fan but Dan Hardy does make me nervous .. he has been in the game for quite some time and I sure hope his mind games and confidence don’t mess Rush up.. he does have a strong punchers chance and he has better boxing than GSP.. looking forward to this bout with fingers crossed.
Does he?
I was nervous about Alves and about BJ in there 2nd fight, I dont have the nervous feeling about Hardy.
LJ. I agree, he will lose again some day, everybody does.
The thing about talking trash,
you have to be able to back it up, Tito and Frank were both Champions, hence backed up there trash. Hardy hasnt even fought anybody yet. Like when Vera called out Chuck after his first win in the UFC, were is he now, one of the most over rated fighters in MMA that doesnt talk smack anymore because he knows he cant back it up. I would put BJ Penn up there to, mind you he is more of a whiner than trash talker. That said BJ hasnt done much talking since his last fight with GSP (after the lawsuit and all lol).
Yeah, you do have to back it up, especially if you come across as arrogant, eg Mir, Tito and especially Bisping (Hendo fight). The boy hardy does it with humorous style though, this is his moment, win or lose, glad he’s enjoying every minute. The pressure aint on him, and he doesn’t necessarily put it on himself by trash talking, just who he is, why change for anyone. Even recently voted ‘fighter of the year’ lol

Saying he was going to get the HW belt and then drop down and rack up another belt and hold both lmao

Don Frye was best when he nearly made Shamrock cry leading up to the fight. Ken could’ve showed Frye his own bone marrow, there was no way that guy was gonna tap. My first MMA hero/character, that is how to back up trash talking!!!

I love Don Frye,
he was the toughest guy around back in the early days. Just a big tough man, he kicked ass!!!
Man Dan Hardy needs to STFU.
This shit is getting ridiculous. Wow Dan Hardy, you mean to tell me you’re going to try and punch GSP in the face? Well shit, I didn’t know that but now that I do I must say I believe you to be the superior martial artist in this case. GSP says you’re not a martial artist because you suck, not because of your strategy. Anybody can knock anybody out anytime, let me punch you in the chin and I can guarantee you’ll go to sleep too. This “I’m gonna knock him out” bullshit is extremely irritating. If all you want is a chance to punch someone then go to boxing, where I guarantee you’ll be decapitated. Fuck a Hardy, fuck outta here with that bullshit! Shhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiittttt. And btw, Hardy has less than a puncher’s chance, because to me, GSP is the superior striker. GSP is the superior striker, wrestler, and ground game. Basically, Hardy has little to no chance, and if he were to somehow win, he would just get Serra’d in the rematch.. Shut up Hardy, it’s not your time, can’t wait for you to join Bisping.
I wonder if GSP thinks himself that he is the superior striker. I don’t think so, say what you want about Hardy, but he hits hard and accurate. If GSP is smart, which obviously he is, he is gonna take Hardy down. He tries to stand with him and Hardys talk is on the money. GSP wins by tactical decisions and boredom. Can’t fault him for that though. Just don’t understand the haters on Hardy, he’s a cool guy, what do you expect, him to say ‘yeah, I’m the underdog, don’t really believe I’ve got a chance, but atleast I get paid alot of money’ cos the reason he’s here is because he believes in himself. Not in a weird ‘yes yes yes’ Sanchez way either ;D

He Knows He Is
That’s the thing about GSP. He uses what he has to. Fitch and Penn where suppose to be the superior striker and got owned. Kos and Hughes were supposed to be the superior wrestlers and got school. The most serious striking threat he faces was Alves and he GnP’d him until he felt comfortable. The rest is history; total domination even with a serious injury. If you review the film he even managed to drop Alves and Alves connected a few times without being able to drop GSP. So ya’ GSP knows he’s the superior striker and I think after a round or two of GnP he’ll go to work on Hardy.
I agree Silas
GSP is the superior striker. Hardy may have a little more power, but GSP’s striking is excellent. He mixes everything up so well, and he’s completely unpredictable.
