UFC on Versus 5 results: Dan Hardy will not be cut after loss to Chris Lytle

Photo by Tracy Lee via Yahoo! Sports

Dan Hardy has lost four fights in a row inside the hallowed walls of the Octagon following his defeat at UFC on Versus 5 tonight (Aug. 14) at the hands of Chris Lytle. And, to the surprise of many, he will not be released by the promotion.

We know this not because UFC President Dana White said so but because the owner of the organization, Lorenzo Fertitta, tweeted the following:

"Will not cut @danhardymma I like guys that WAR!!!"

That settles that.

Indeed, Hardy went to war in the main event of the evening, going shot for shot with Lytle in a fight that lived up to its billing. "The Outlaw" promised he would deliver a show with Lytle in his retirement fight and that's exactly what he did.

However, once he made the fatal decision to take "Lights Out" to the floor, he quickly found himself locked in the clenches of an air tight guillotine submission, gasping for air and left with no choice but to tap out.

Despite that, he finds himself still employed by the world's largest fight promotion and seemingly safe from the chopping block forever thanks to his crowd pleasing style. You Maniacs okay with the decision to keep him on board? Or think he should be getting the axe?

No.

The moral of the story was just because you like Hardy doesn’t mean he should be in the UFC.

The sport element has to poke its head through the legs of entertainment every once in a while. To be a credible sport people like Hardy should be getting axed.

Yeah one you should use roids for and the other has a warning on the label for that shit… “Do not operate heavy machinery whilst taking this etc…”
What Hardy did tonight doesnt even equate to how hard your grandma works everyday operating that motor vehicle – that shits just dangerous

yeah, there is

because only the elite are in the UFC, which dan hardy is…your logic doesnt make a ton of sense…hardy lost 4 fights in a row – one to the best WW of all time, one to a top contender, one to a wrestler who outweighed him by probably 15 pounds, and to an extremely well rounded fighter tonight…everyone that loses to chris lytle and anthony johnson should not be cut…hes on a bad streak, but is extremely exciting to watch, and still very dangerous on his feet

I don’t see it i’m sorry.

and Hardy’s skillset is far from elite. Learn to grapple and then come back to the UFC.

Don't even pull that crap.

He hits hard, you’re only argument is that he only ko’d one guy whos not that good. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t have any power (he dropped every fighter he beat in UFC). you’re just a hater.

by guyverbob on Aug 15, 2011 1:06 AM EDT up reply actions  

No one ever said he was a good striker.

He has a good chin and hits hard. He’s a brawler.

by guyverbob on Aug 15, 2011 1:32 AM EDT up reply actions  

his strong skillset isnt even that strong..

his wrestling is almost non-existent and his jits is mediocre.

If they keep him don’t let him take main card slots away from fighters who actually deserve it. Stop shoving this dude in our faces as a legit fighter when he clearly isnt.

by RayRayJr on Aug 15, 2011 1:34 AM EDT up reply actions  

They didn't try to say he was this top 10 level fighter tonight.

When he got his title shot he did seem as a top 10 guy. But now he was only in the main event for his name and style. The guy isn’t a bad fighter, But i do agree he needs to be at the bottom now, or maybe a while ago.

by guyverbob on Aug 15, 2011 1:37 AM EDT up reply actions  

I think because fighters have been cut

With more skills, at least equal or more exciting fights and do not beg for “special mma rules” makes this the fuckin farce that it is.

by grapplefan on Aug 15, 2011 8:41 AM EDT up reply actions  

We agree to agree.

I never stated he wasn’t top 10 at the time. He was a product of a good opportunity. Now its time to undercard him.

by RayRayJr on Aug 16, 2011 12:24 PM EDT up reply actions  

watch the fight again

hardy doesn’t move around very well for a boxer. he seems to do a lil jumpidy doo thing, and after this he stands a bit flat footed infront of his opponent.

see, you do this thing that alot of sports fans do

so i cant completely fault you for it…but, i, for one, hate when people say “oh this fighter sucks” or “oh this quarterback/shortstop/power forward/goalie sucks”…no, they really dont, or else they wouldnt be at the top of their sport…dan hardy is not the best WW in the UFC, in fact hes probably not even in the top 20 of the UFC right now…however, that still means of EVERY SINGLE 170 pound fighter in the world, hes probably top 30-35…and if you really think about how many MMA fighters there are in the world, yeah, id say hes elite

I may do that yes. But in this case they are taking a fighter who is top 30-35 and showcasing him as if he was a top 5.

Better fighters have been cut for less. Don’t put Hardy on a main card taking spots away from people who deserve them.

Hardy’s lack of improvement should worry everybody.

by RayRayJr on Aug 15, 2011 1:27 AM EDT up reply actions  

its a main card on versus however

and while i partially agree, he should not be taking main card spots, theyre also not showcasing him as a top 5…he hasnt been on a PPV since his loss to condit, which was one fight removed from a title shot…and i agree that a small number of better fighters HAVE been cut for less, but every situation is different, and should be treated as such

How can you say that he's probably top 35?

You just come up with this shit like it’s fact. we really have no idea where Hardy stands, he hasn’t won since 2009, and as you may know the sport is growing rapidly around the world.

I think you’re underestimating the amount of MMA welterweights in the world. Possibly underestimating the amount of WW’s with ANY ground game. I think saying that Hardy is at the top of his sport because of skill is a huge stretch. He’s got a super cool mohawk, and he likes to bang. marketabilitymarketabilitymarketabilitymarketabilitymarketability

What would you say if they let him stay after 5 in a row?

Is one fight really that much when you beg for special rules mma fights?

by grapplefan on Aug 15, 2011 8:45 AM EDT up reply actions  

Exactly

This guy cries when people don’t want to “stand and bang” (then tries a cheapshot td of his own to sneak the final round) and when Condit and Lytle agree, he still gets fucking OWNED!

I thought striking was what Hardys good at??? If that’s your bread and butter and guys are still whooping you, and the only other skills you possess are a comedic gg, a big mouth and a stupid haircut, it’s time to go now!!!

It's pathetic to see somebody beg for special rules

I’m a Brit and hate obvious lay and pray for the most part, but this is terrible for the sport. Like Barrie says below if Hardy wasn’t British he’d be gone and he’d have never got a title shot.

Funny Bonnar and Helwaini breaking the news to us on the after show program. I don’t understand how a fighter like Mike can agree with this when more talented or definitely more well rounded (gotta be a sign of effort after this amount of time) fighters get kicked to the curb and Hardy gets to stay.

And it’s a joke that Hardys still in the promotion. He must have something good on the Fertittas to have still been kept around, going 0-4 and getting submitted by a veteran in his last fight who was handpicked because of his style in the first place would have gotten anyone else cut.

Anderson Silva is still the P4P King of MMA and will be 14-0 in the UFC after Rio, Jon Jones is the future P4P King and will smash Quittin inside 3 rounds and I told everyone from the start that Cain and JDS were the best 2 HWs in the world.

This is emotion speaking, Hardy proved that he has no business being in the UFC after dropping 4 in a row better fighters than him have been cut. When Lorenzo wakes up tomorrow and talks with Dana and Joe Silva better heads will prevail and he’ll be cut.

Really bad decision

Kick young prospects who take fights on short notice and with a LOT less money than what Hardy makes and kick them when they go 1-2 in the UFC but keep this GIMMICK that is 0-4(!!!!) in the UFC, not to mention not making weight initially at the weigh ins

Danago should be banned from mmamania

4-4 in the UFC

But I see ur point

Double Standard

Jardine gets cut but Hardy does not? I think there is a good reason why UFC could have a weekly one hour show thats part a news show like MMA live but also a show where they can put anywhere betweent 1-3 fights on every week. Where you could take guys that you don’t want to cut like Jardine or Hardy and put them on the weekly show against young prospects or other veterans.

What a bunch of bullshit. Hardy didn't WAR!!!! anything

He got tee’d off on for 14 straight minutes. Here this retarded Hardy guy is, bitching about fighters who just come into a fight to take people down and lay on them.

Then what does Hardy do? He shoots for a takedown and gets subbed because he couldn’t hang with Lytle standing up.

He should be cut on principle.

I do but that doesn't mean I have to like the fact that it's all about business. I hate it. If there is one similarity of the many similarities between Pro Wrestling and MMA, it's that it's a business when it should be sport

Not about what sells the most tickets. Lettuce be reality Hardy sucks. It’s a mystery why he was hyped up so much and given a title shot after beating a handful of gatekeepers and few bums who couldn’t even hold their spot. Then after getting dominated with ease by GSP, he get’s knocked the fuck out by Condit, manhandled by Johnson and then choked out by Lytle (which was entirely his fault) and he still keeps his job.

Ridiculous

Hardy doesn't WAR!!!!!!!!!!. He's just a guy who likes blocking punches with his face, rudimentary stand-up and can't defend a takedown.

He needs to be cut

As an English Fan that was embarrassing

All the hype about KO power, wants someone to stand with him etc… and this is what happens. Nothing personal against Hardy but he is just a young lad who decided to study martial arts and has made a couple of dollars doing it. nothing more nothing less.

it’s obvious why dana did this. First off, why cut hardy he is incredibly entertaining fighter who gives the fans what they want, a brawl, also he’s a character. Second off by not cutting hardy it encourages other fighters to… well fight basically rather than all this game planning and avoiding a fight, hardy goes out to fight and gets rewarded for it, and this will encourage more people to go out and put on a show

"incredibly entertaining"

Is he????

“gives the fans what they want, a brawl”

This sport is called MIXED Martial Arts, and I am a “fan” of all aspects of the sport, be it standup, td’s, gg’s, game planning whatever. God almighty, if I want to watch a sloppy brawl, I’ll go down my local at chucking out time.

Im speaking generally obviously, I also prefer the technical aspects of mma rather than a swing for the fences brawl, but still the majority of people want to see a brawl

Dan Hardy has a good left hook but he couldn’t land it. His timing was off every time. I like Hardy and I do think he is a good fighter, but he isn’t great, and until he realizes he is not as good as he thinks he is, he’ll believe his own hype- and probably lose the next fight too. Unless of course Dana sets him up against someone he knows Hardy can knock out. Why do you think Dana had a visit with Vince McMahon recently? Dan Hardy is almost like a ‘character’ who talks smack before every fight and looks ‘mean’ with a red mohawk and shark-teeth handkerchiefs around his mug while his crew follows suit. At least that’s what they look like…The point is, Hardy should be cut, but he won’t be because people like to see him fight-even when he loses. Hardy draws money-I get it. But I wonder how Hardy feels as a fighter? Does he have it in him to ever be a champion? IMO, right now he doesn’t . He needs to realize he has serious holes in his stand-up, like um…defense maybe? Dan Hardy could be a great striker if he’d learn some actual boxing techniques from a technical boxer. Slipping punches, ducking, weaving, lateral movement, footwork, proper technique when executing jabs, hooks, uppercuts and straight punches. And once he learns all that, then he should move to defense techniques. Every time Hardy counter punched against Lytle he missed and got cracked a few times. We all saw how red his face was right? Bottom line: Hardy could be a great fighter if he took it serious. Riiiight, he moved to Vegas so it would be less distracting? Nuff said.

Now, who wants to see Carlos Condit beat the snot outta GSP? Somehow, I got a feeling that Diaz is gonna lose to GSP. I’m thinking GSP is gonna take it to the ground at every opportunity and refuse to stand with Diaz. He’ll just grind out another yawnfest. Who knows? Anyway, from what I’ve seen, Condit is a true formidable opponent for GSP right now. Oh wait, what if he loses to Penn? Insert Laugh Here
