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

I like my grandma but the bitch can barely see anymore and shouldn’t drive.. (even if legally she is allowed).
Hardy should be forced to work his way back into the UFC
Yea I know..Cuz fighting in the cage and operating a motor vehicle is the same

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.
lol...
Yea I know..Cuz fighting in the cage and operating a motor vehicle is the same
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
Hardy’s entertaining – completely different breh

I was so happy that the second he went for a take-down he got choked.
I love these wrestler/grapple haters getting punked.
Isn't trying to steal a round with a late takedown after begging for an opponent to stand and bang
A bit like a sucker punch?
"people like hardy"
listen, dan hardy is no world beater, but he would still smoke probably 96% of all WW not in the UFC

there's a reason 96% of the people not in the UFC arn't in the UFC.

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
"This could be the worst disaster we've ever faced"
"With all due respect, sir, I believe this is gonna be our finest hour"
Really? He's very dangerous on the 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.
I didnt' realize hitting hard made you a good striker.
Did Leben beat Anderson?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrTB-iiecqk&ob=av2e
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
"This could be the worst disaster we've ever faced"
"With all due respect, sir, I believe this is gonna be our finest hour"
lol.
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.
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
"This could be the worst disaster we've ever faced"
"With all due respect, sir, I believe this is gonna be our finest hour"
What do the English Fans think?
Why have a guy who’s getting his arse’ handed to him respesent fighers in the UK…,,, it screams, that the UK fighters are simply spectacles’ for slobberknocker entertainment only. English Barrie makes a point…" it’s embarrasing"…
"Some have wrestled without great skill - none have wrestled without pride."
Agree its embarassing
The guy’s a fucking joke, so are the double standards from the top brass for keeping him on.
All this going to “war” shit is a load of crap! kimbo Slice and James Toney would have “gone to war” if they got to hand pick there opponents in pre-arranged “standup wars”.
This is fucking BS!
Thats because when they say it they say it relative to other fighters/players in that league.
How do people not understand that.
by carlosb on Aug 15, 2011 2:52 AM EDT via mobile up reply actions
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
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IrTB-iiecqk&ob=av2e
Do people really not think that there are untapped talent outside of the UFC that people haven't heard about yet
I bet there’s at least around that amount of fighters in Brazil (not in the UFC) that would smash Hardy.
'hmmm... cough' bull.. cough' shit... uhmm...

I do think they should bury him on the under cards and try and build him up

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?
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.
lorenzo fertitty can go suck some.....
i dont buy that WAR b.s for a second, what good is it for, when you cant even pull a W when your career depended on it ? typical ufc brass playing favorites, whats wrong with a level playing field ? i wonder what other guys who got cut after 3 in a row feel about this.
It's a buisness to them, they like the way he fights.
Fans will always love a fighter that will go out and bang everytime. If it was up to me, i’d cut him and bring him back after he gets a couple wins in smaller promotions.

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

lets just keep it at 0-4 on his way to 0-5 I don't even remember who he beat
"Some have wrestled without great skill - none have wrestled without pride."
Don't Necessarily Disagree, but
what young prospects are you talking about?
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.
Is it?? We Brits know a loser when we see one.
Do we really want to see another UK card headlined by a guy on a 4 fight skid??? Dana’ll be signing Alex Reid next.
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.

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.

I don't give a sh*t if hardy stays....
Hardy doesnt deserve to stay, but if the brits and no-nothing fans like it, go ahead… lets see Hardy go 5-0…. and while ur at it DANA CUEBALL DOUGHBOY, bring back KIMBO SLICE as well, DOESNT KIMBO LIKE TO WAR???….Right Dana?
"Some have wrestled without great skill - none have wrestled without pride."
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.
Cut off the hair and change his birth place and he would have been gone after the rumble fight

Has he ever???
It was exciting to see his head bounce off the mat after Carlos Condit nearly decapitated him, that’s about it.
I'm drunk...That's why I said he puts on a good...
He TRIES, at least.

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
