Quoteworthy:
"Condit says it was 'nothing personal' when he went to the UFC and demanded a fight with me. It was, he said, purely business. No, Carlos. Calling me out, asking to fight me by name, does make it very personal. To go the UFC and say you want to fight someone in particular is to say: 'I can beat this guy, no problem, and further my career.' How can you not expect that to be taken personally? But this is very personal to me now. I am going to put a real beating on this guy. When he gets his flight back to the US, he will have trouble clearing customs because he will look nothing like his passport photo. Carlos is training with Greg Jackson, who no doubt is going to try and put another 'safety first' game plan together. He encourages his guys to take the low-risk route, which usually turns out to be quite strategic and a little boring. That will mess up Condit's natural instincts. I just don't think that a Greg Jackson game plan is suitable for Condit's style of fighting or his mentality as a fighter. Condit is called 'the Natural Born Killer' with reason and as soon as I drop him a couple of times, he will revert to his instincts and try to fight fire with fire. Carlos has got a lot of heart, no doubt about that. He will give everything he's got. But all of what he's got isn't just enough."
"The Outlaw" 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, on Saturday, Oct. 16, 2010. Hardy is now miffed that the Greg Jackson-trained fighter requested the fight, which is apparently a sign of disrespect. No matter, the British slugger plans to make him pay on fight night be rearranging his mug. Unless, of course, "The Natural Born Killer" turns into the "The Natural Wet Blanket" and smothers the heavy-handed Hardy in an attempt to secure a "safe" win. More mind games from Hardy or does Condit really have it in him to just lay and pray in the biggest fight of his UFC career to date?

Damn, this is a tough fight to call. I like both guys too. I don’t know who I want to win and I don’t know who I think will win either.

He also has a Black Belt in TKD
but I haven’t seen him kick much. His weak point is definitely on the ground, although he showed good defense keeping alive in the GSP fight. My opinion is he fought the best fight of his life just to stay in the fight for 5 rounds and get shut out.
"That wasn't just winning. I mean, that was just demolishment."
he's taller too which doesn't help the TDD
Fedor invented a language that incorporates Sambo and Kimuras.
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.
the bottom line is that hardy has nothing going for him in this fight
The hype machine has made him out to be some heavy handed KO artist which he absolutely is NOT. Add that to the fact that condit has a great chin and relentless pace, I see this as an easy UD for condit. He will mix up the strikes with takedowns and will most likely win the decision with some GnP.

Condit's advantage on the ground is huge, I suppose it's possible for Hardy to box his way to a UD
But I like Condit in this fight.

Agreed, Hardy UD is possible, I definitely don't see him finishing Carlos.
I got Condit all the way though, I think Hardy’s chances are slim.

Doesnt Fitch hold a black belt? Didn’t Randy earn one too after subbing that ole ground specialist James “Lights gone out upstairs” Toney??
McBlackbelt to you, my friend.

I got Condit for this one
Hardy loves to flap his gums. Hopefully he brings it for this fight or Condit will submit his ass quick. And why is is “heavy-handed Hardy”? I haven’t seen his power in the UFC. He went to a split dec with Marcus Davis. In his next two losses, Davis was stopped by Saunders and Diaz.
I hope Dan Hardy doesn’t really believe what he is saying, Condit is going to outwork him on the feet and get him down for the sub. Neither one of them is going to be hard to find, if anyone tries to slow the fight down, it will be Hardy.
"That wasn't just winning. I mean, that was just demolishment."
Fuck you too buddy.
Would you actually like to make a point about what you thought was “retarded” in my posts?
Or is it more fun just to be a dickhead?
"That wasn't just winning. I mean, that was just demolishment."
NVM, makes sense now.
On your profile page:
a fan of
Machida, Dan Hardy, Paul Daley, BJ Penn
I’m sorry one of your faves is over-hyped. His claim to fame is a UD win over Swick and a UD loss to GSP.
"That wasn't just winning. I mean, that was just demolishment."
Questions and Observations
- Why are simple comments called mind games?
- Anger? Dan Hardy doesn’t sound angry. In fact, I never heard or saw Dan Hardy display any anger in pre-fight or post-fight comments.
Does Condit really have it in him to just lay and pray in the biggest fight of his UFC career to date?
No. I’ll give Greg Jackson this, he doesn’t try to change the natural instincts of his charges. Guys like GSP, Jon Jones and Rashad Evans are more or less exactly who they are if they were trained by another coach. I think Condit’s last fight demonstrates that he’s still the “Natural Born Killer.”
- - - - -
VEe is ANIMated!
Hardy is just trying to get hyped up for the fight.
It’s what he does and there’s nothing wrong with that. Every fighter is different. But he is basically having a conversation with himself as Condit is not really participating in the trash talking. You can talk as much as you want but you still have to perform when yo get in the cage. I think Hardy should just be happy that Condit asked for him because he is a tough fighter.
I like both of them but Im taking Condit.
I just don’t think that a Greg Jackson game plan is suitable for Condit’s style of fighting or his mentality as a fighter.
Translation:
I really hope that this trashtalk will get Condit to stand with me. My only chance is on the feet and if I lose again I am one fight away from joining my boy Daley in the minor leagues. Please give me a chance by standing and trading Carlos!

This.
Even if it does remain on the feet, I still give Condit a chance.
He’s not gonna sit back like Swick; he’s gonna go after Hardy from bell to bell and get in his face.
Though Hardy is the better striker, I can see Condit simply outworking him in all areas. Whether it happens or not though is a different story.
Arlovski : Kang : GSP : Rampage : Lytle : Huerta : Quarry : Serra : Wandy : Pulver : Alvarez
Condit is a more well rounded and busy striker, imo.
Hardy is good, but he always seems to fall into circling and throwing hooks.

glad to see you figured out the bq...;) (and I agree)

Didn't Hardy talk all this same shit when he fought GSP?
Either way, Condit via Buffalo Bills choke
You aint shit

Or maybe I should have said Hardy via Buffalo Bills choke, meaning he's the one who's going to lose/choke etc etc
Either way, Condit > Hardy
You aint shit

this fight should be the main event
hyped for this fight. HYPED.
Who is Hardy anyway?
If Dan Hardy was an American we wouldn’t even know hwo he is. He is only in the UFC because they need British fighters to get support in England. Word.
