Quoteworthy:
"Yeah I saw [the AIDS tweet]. I laughed. I think he needs to chill out a bit. I think more than anything it is Davis getting to Davis now. I think he needs to see it for what it was and just chill out a bit. It was all meant in good humor, I didn’t say anything malicious or do anything malicious. It was all funny stuff, like the photoshops and the plastic paddy thing. It was just like a back and forward you’d get between mates in our gym any day of the week."
-- UFC number one welterweight contender Dan Hardy is unfazed by the verbal attacks from former foe Marcus Davis, who Tweeted that he wanted "The Outlaw" to die of AIDS. After coming under fire for the remarks, which were in response to Hardy's call for homoerotic photos of Davis from the blogosphere, Davis quickly amended his death wish from AIDS to "Hit by a car." Like Frank Mir, "The Irish Hand Grenade" seems overly obsessed with a specific loss and has turned the normally fun trash-talking game into a public relations nightmare. Why doesn't Davis just "chill out" like Hardy says and move on? Opinions?

I go with you. Hardy is too comic but don't agree he'll handle with St. Pierre. Would be cool, though.

Countless times the MMA fans have been dead wrong about the outcome of a fight when the two have never fought. Sonnen-Marquardt comes to mind.

Guinness is good but..

Guinness is in my top 3 favourite beers
At least they know to let it settle in my local. It’s a real man’s drink. Can’t beat Irish alcohol.

bud lime is not a beer
modelo is the best mexican beer
guinness is awesome especially Irish car bombs
Fedor played Russian Roulette with a fully loaded gun and won.
AMERICA.....FUCK YEAH
Haha about budlime
I thought when they started introducing fruity flavors to bud it was to appeal to women. I had a friend who brought budlime by 1 time and sure, i drank them but i’ll never look at him the same again.

I’ve had all of what you mentioned. I don’t mind Stella artois either. And I gave a big bud lime description yesterday on the toney thread. They taste great out the bottle but the citrus absorbs the tin taste of the aluminum can making them awful out of a can. For real its true.

Hardy is the shit
I like the guy. He has got a great sense of humor and can get under people’s skin. Marcus is a type of guy that can take trash talk seriously. Hardy did his thing. Won the fight and is chilled. Marcus kept talking about Hardy, even mentioned his name in the pre fight talk against Saunders.
I started liking Hardy, too bad he is fighting my fav fighter in ww div.
still dont understand why...
Mir has to say sorry but Davis doesn’t. Oh wait, its cause dana doesn’t need Davis like he does Brock. So that makes this okay, Davis isn’t a ‘fuckin idiot’ for these statements. Just if its towards Brock.

aww cuttte took jay a week of staying up late...

Glad he found time to think of a few cuttte things for ABM between time spent playing call of duty online and trying to figure out if he can dump his load on posters of Brock in ufc or if he’s still too hooked on the Brock build of roids, whoops I mean of old.

Davis' comments were just as disgusting
He should apologise as well at the least, both him and Mir are vindictive losers who have said disgraceful things that have made MMA and the UFC look bad. Their behaviour has been shameful.

Who Cares?
Since when did MMA fans and writers get so caught up in PC trash talk. Marcus’ domination of Hardy on the ground was just a preview of what GSP is going to do to Hardy. IMO Marcus won that fight. He could have Fitched (lay and prey) Hardy, and won that fight easily. Hardy has even said he’s looking for the one punch knockout against GSP, because it’s his best shot. Probably his only shot. GSP is a beast.
you honestly believe that Marcus won that fight?
failed sub attempts and Hardy getting out from underneath him don’t come close to the amount of damage Hardy did

SPK
I see what your saying, but you can’t look at a guys face to decide who won a fight. Grappling, sub attempts, body-shots, leg kicks, take-downs, all score points just like punches to the face.
Look at GSP after beating BJ for the first time.

it's not just about what his face looks like
Davis was rocked and dropped and cut open multiple times, Closest Davis came to finishing was I believe a heel hook that Dan just wriggled out of. Plus I don’t remember any significant leg kicks or body shots from davis. Octagon control is only a factor if the striking and grappling are too close to call, Davis wasn’t really very effective, other than taking Dan down.

‘robberies’ are stupid theses days. ‘everyone’ gets ‘robbed’. I could watch Davis hardy a million times and still only see one winner. The same one the judges saw. Some people should just learn the scoring system etc, it would do wonders.

Hardy definitely won that fight. To suggest otherwise is silly.

Penn’s facial skin never looks busted up at all. Its ridiculous.
Hardy-Davis
The first time I watched that fight I gave it to Davis, but after watching it again I had to go with Hardy. It all depends on how you score it…Davis controlled most of the fight, but Hardy did more damage. Either way, it was close.
I think Hardy’s shit-talk got into Davis’ head way too much. It’s really affecting his career. He’s thinkin about Hardy when he should be thinkin about his next opponent – maybe that’s why he got fucked up by Saunders. Same thing is happening with Mir-Lesnar. Mir’s so focused on Lesnar, he’s not worrying about Carwin as much. You’re next fight should always be the most important fight of your life.
Tito interviewing Babalu: "I want to tell me what you see, let's go ahead and see by the fight, what you saw, in the ring."

No-one expects him to win
All he has to do is earn our respect in that fight with his heart and he’ll be a better fighter because of it on so many levels.
Its a win win situation for Hardy really as if he beats GSP he’s the champ and if he gets beat but does well he’s earned credibility.

Dan hardy beat marcus's ass! I think Davis is scared for life.
Hardy landed the harder punches, knocked him down twice I think. Did the most damage & actually went for finishes. Hardy talks trash just 2 get in peoples heads. After the fight he still showed Marcus respect. Funny how sooo many WW R jealous of hardy but Marcus actually wished death uponem is funny as hell 2 me. He sounds like a pissed off lil brat. & hardys Photoshop of Marcus was classic! 1 og the funniest things I’ve seen =D

is anyone else
sick of people getting punished and shunned for things they say? who the fuck cares if something offends somebody, EVERYTHING can be offensive if taken in some context. the power of speach should NEVER be given to the listener instead of the speaker, and thats what has happened in this country. now naturally, myself being a middle class white guy, i’m not allowed to say anything because all the world’s hardships are completely my fault, but i’m for freedom, and if somebody has a problem with something that is said, then they need to deal with it and stop destroying the foundations of this country in favor of their own feelings.
man I've said this countless times
No one does care. Only when directed to Brock. Then its a crime worthy of being hung. Bunch of lil whiny women round’ here when something is said about Brock.
No offense Sarah lol.
ABM….lives….
