UFC 146: Dan Hardy vs Duane Ludwig booked for May 26 in Las Vegas

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is giving British bomb-dropper Dan Hardy a chance to snap a four-fight losing streak by pairing him up against Duane Ludwig for the upcoming UFC 146 event, tentatively scheduled for May 26, 2012, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
UFC officials (via ESPN.co.uk) brought word of the pending bout earlier today.
Hardy, who managed to fight his way into a welterweight title bout against division champion Georges St. Pierre at UFC 111 back in March 2010, failed to recover from that unanimous decision loss and went on to drop his following three contests, including a submission defeat to longtime veteran Chris Lytle last August.
Following the loss, fans expected "The Outlaw" to leave town for good; however, UFC co-owner Lorenzo Fertitta declared that Hardy was here to stay and would live to see another day inside the Octagon.
Enter Ludwig.
The Coloradan was recently able to get himself recognized as the record holder for fastest knockout in the UFC. Unfortunately the accolades did him little good against Josh Neer, who choked him out at UFC on FX just last month.
His loss to "The Dentist" snapped a two-fight win streak.
UFC 146 is expected to be headlined by the biggest fight of the year (literally), when heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos puts his strap on the line for the very first time against division number one contender and famed Dutch striker Alistair Overeem.
Middleweight TUF guy Jason Miller is also back in action taking on the venerable C.B. Dollaway while Edson Barboza goes to war against Evan Dunham.
Stay tuned to MMAmania.com for future updates to this still-developing fight card.

I don't see how he can stick around after 5 straight losses
Ludwig is the most fair matchup to give him at this point.

exactly
Can’t just keep saying “He’s entertaining, we keep guys that war!”, cause shit, I could “war” (ps i hate that word) if that’s all it takes is me to always “war” the hell, sign me up, pay me 70k a fight and i’ll get knocked senseless standing the entire fight swinging til i get ko’d.
Who cares if i’m 0-9, i fucking “war”!!!!

Definitely
It’s garbage anyway. Too many world class fighters who “war” just as much have been cut on 2 or 3 loses, close decisions not excluded.
5-3, undefeated and undisputed, beat me ... if you can.
I clearly didnt learn my lesson the first time, The Pride has smashed me AGAIN. My excess estrogen has destroyed my life, I make Chaz Bono look like a real man"
for sure
just keeping him cause they don’t have many brits to sell the uk cards.

Fair Matchup???
Sorry, I just don’t see that.
THIS IS A BAD MATCH UP!
If Hardy thinks he’s going to “stand & bang” or attempt to strike with Ludwig, this fight will be quicker than his last 4 losses. (Ooops, I totally forgot the Condit fight.)
Too bad Hardy’s takedown attempts looks horrible but Ludwig isn’t really known for his ground game. Unfortunately for Hardy, this fight will begin standing.
Ludwig in 2.

Youre putting way too much stock in Ludwig
If anyone is as one dimensional as hardy at that weight it’s Ludwig . He thinks muay Thai is the end all be all and he’s delusional .
Should be relatively close but I think hardy takes this in an ugly decision or tko .

I probably am but Ludwig has been looking pretty decent standing lately and Hardy’s mind state, his confidence is probably not really high.

I do think it is a winnable fight for Hardy, he’s much faster than Bang.

As much as I like Duane, this is a matchup that determines who gets cut and who stays employed.
Even if they put on FOTN, one of these guys will be released. Bang hasn’t shown anything that makes me believe he’ll be impossible to beat and it works both ways. These two are battling for the right to the near-bottom of the UFC WW ladder. That’s what I meant by fair. Hardy can win this fight, but if he stands and bangs with no solid gameplan…. Hello SF or BAMMA

Ludwig beat Sadollah and he's still around
So I don’t know why they’d cut Ludwig
Even tho I initially acted like a small child, I have been forced to come to my senses. enzo-enormous is better at calling fights than I am, by far. I am a little immature but am working on it. Also, I love dudes and cant wait to get a reach around from the 209
Because he just got choked out by Neer, and he's older
You may be right, he may get one more shot…. Maybe against someone like Pyle, or someone else who’s stuck in the mid. He’s a great striker but it’s not enough. And Sadollah is kind of a joke….

He should be able to beat Ludwig
I mean, Christ, if he can’t then that was a seriously weak effort by GSP

What makes you think he should be able to beat Ludwig??
Ludwig outpoints him on the feet,,, possibly Kos his ass.. Unless dan has some new found takedown game.. He loses this fight…
I see no reason why he shouldn't
I would not be surprised if Bang choked his ass out late in the fight!
And Gsp could have finished Hardy many of times… He does not have it in him to break a Arm/ Seriously hurt his opponent… He is a softy,, nuff said
I like it
should be an entertaining fight

I can’t laugh at this, Hardy has some good defensive jiu-jitsu . . . well against GSP.
But we don’t know about his offensive bjj.
We already seen his how his takedown attempts look.

his defensive jiu jitsu was grinding his teeth and taking pain.
Let’s not give him too much credit. As danaher told GSP, had he done the move right, his arm should have snapped off.

I very well could be
Remember the Rumble fight he was going for the Kimura a few times. I got to meet him afterwards & asked him about it. He said he got it all the time in practice. He does train with Roy Nelson allot. To bad Roy didn’t tell his it’s a strength submission & the Rumble is way stronger then him, but Ludwig on the other hand…. Hardy may have a strength advantage there.

What do you think nick would do to him? Hardy is not ready for diaz, will never be ready for diaz, and he won’t be ready for any top ten WW probably ever again. He’ll be lucky to get a win from Bang..

Diaz is on another level than Hardy
Diaz is a top 5 welterweight, Hardy is about to get cut from the UFC

Top 5 how?
He beat Penn. Lost to Condit. Would prob lose to Berg, Hendricks, Kos, Fitch, Alves, Condit again, maybe even Pierce and Kampmann. Beating Cyborg and Daley doesn’t make you top 5, neither does beating Penn at this time. HAD he beaten Condit, maybe we could discuss this…

It wasn't a personal attack
It was a statement of fact. Diaz won on half the scorecards of fans out there and these two boneheads are saying he’s not even a top 10 fighter. Troll douches.

Diaz lost that fight fair and square.
What surprises me is that he didn’t realize it was happening. He got Cruz’d. He should have realized that chasing his opponent while walking into strikes wasn’t gonna win him the fight. I was kinda surprised it was controvesial after the fight we all thought it was a pretty clear cut win for Condit. I’d say an argument could be made Condit won every round.

anyone who thinks Leeroy won is an asshole, Figueroa sacrificed having children for that win bonus. And besides, Diaz-Condit is the only fight that mattered on that card, so its the only one worth raging over.

He started as a big MW. He wouls have to lose an arm or leg to make 155 as he currently cuts 10+ pounds of water to make 170.
Diaz is not top 5. Daley and Penn were barely top 10 when he beat them. I don’t rank on potential, so until Nick actually wins against a genuine top 5 fighter, I won’t rank him there. I have him at 9.

close
just an FYI, no cards in the history of the UFC have had 10 decisions.
And if you miss on more than 50% of your dogs (very likely), you will have little chance to get in the money.

I like Bartimus as the paper upset.
And Boestch is still not that great of a fighter. He looked great against Grove but Okami is another story.

3rd time's a charm Josh Neer?
Not sure a guy who has been cut twice, and never known as a striker, before that fight should be your barometer for judging Bang.

To say his not top ten in the division is almost laughable...
Idiot comment of the day is awarded to- Wooly
pretty sure I have seen worse, lol
but I am struggling to come up with 5 guys with better striking than Bang at 170.
GSP
Diaz
Condit
Kampmann
and….
and really all of those are debatable. Bang kicks better than any of them but maybe Condit. GSP only strikes against wrestlers. Diaz is a pure boxer, but not a pure striker. Kamp is technically sound but dopesn’t trust himself.

direct from bloody elbow
Dan “The Outlaw” Hardy was able to defeat Mike “Quick” Swick in a three round affair, likely earning himself a title shot against current UFC welterweight champion Georges “Rush” St. Pierre at a future date.
The fight started off very even. The first round was a clinch battle, but with more positional jockeying that outright damage. A difficult round to score as both fighters managed to land a few shots and put the other fighter’s back against the fence.
Round two, however, was when Hardy began to take over.
A big punch from Hardy wobbled the American Kickboxing Academy welterweight and Hardy followed up. Swick was able to recover and even land a few shots of his own in the round, but never turned the tide or scored enough damage to offset Hardy’s punching.
Round three saw Swick landing a nice combination of his own, but to no avail. The Brit eventually landed shots of his won and took Swick down, avoided a weak guillotine attempt and poured on the damage. Even though the referee eventually stood them up, Swick’s fate was sealed.
30-27, 30-27 and 29-28 are the official scores of the bout

Sarah,
you know we all love you, but just like Nick Diaz, the rules apply to you as well. Here is your sig.
"I need to start letting my husband make my picks for me"
You wanna a fight that you just stand and bang Hardy?????
Well here you go,,,, Watch Hardy will attempt to take down Ludwig once he realizes he cant stand with him!
The thing is that I was willing to go easy on Hardy
He lost to GSP, which is fine. Everybody does. So that doesn’t count.
Then he got knocked out by Condit. But in retrospect Condit is “#2” (although Diaz won, fuck you guys with a dildo dipped in acetone)
Then he got wrestleraped by Rumble.
But when he dropped an easy one to Lytle it made me wonder how the kid ever won a single fight in the UFC, let alone 4 in a row.
Then again, he beat some real scrubs to get there, including a split decision over Marcus Davis.
Even tho I initially acted like a small child, I have been forced to come to my senses. enzo-enormous is better at calling fights than I am, by far. I am a little immature but am working on it. Also, I love dudes and cant wait to get a reach around from the 209
He had favorable matchups to get him to the top...
The powers that be knew that Hardy was very marketable and gave him an easy path/// dont forget about his huge win against,,,, yea where is swick now? Who knows…. Point is Dan is not that good! He has cool mohawk and that is where the train stops,, oh yea and he is british!

And if Gono wouldnt of had that BULLSHT pt deduction..Hardy loses that one ALSO
And with MANY thinking Hardy lost vs Davis…………
Hardy would of LOST 6 of his LAST 8 UFC fights. A bad pt deduction by ref and a razor think decison’s the ONLY thing from making HARDY 2-6 in past 8
Even with luck on his side, he still only won 1 of his last 5……………….WORSE ever in UFC
What can you do? UFC-UK fighters get a different treatment. JUST ask Spitsping. He gets the MOST favorable matchmaking in the HISTORY of the UFC. And NO ONE ever will receive the kind of babying that he received for 6 years.
And for those that disagree, stats do NOT lie……In his 6-7 year UFC career, he has ONLY fought 3-4 conteders(1 every 1-2 years) and LOST to EVERY one of them. He has NEVER beat a top 10 MW…..so how the hell does this happen in 1 of UFCs weakest divisions? And how teh hell is he ranked as high as 6 or 7 in some polls? IF Spitsping is “SO GOOD” as said by Rogan and Dana White, why hasnt he fought the contenders or challengers for Silva’s belt? WHY? Cuz the powers that be no better, but just WILL NOT SAY IT!! AGAIN….in 6-7 UFC years and Spitsping being a “top” fighter, how come he doesnt fight the top guys and how come he has ONLY fought 1 of ALL 10 of SILVA’S opponents? Well 2 including Sonnen and thats only becasue Maia dropped out?
Bisping beat Chael
That ws a bullshit Dec.
Marcus Davis gave Hardy a great fight but he did lose, I think Hardy dropped him in every round.

yea that was a good step up. But Rashad wasn't a huge name and was still unproven in a way...
And wasnt that a draw? pretty sure it was.
I don't think so cause Rashad drew with Tito and Rashad only has one draw.

ok i didnt look it up,, i know it was a razor thin split decision for Rashad..
I thought Bisping might had won that fight if i can remember.
It was an iffy decision.

But just like Hardy... When you reach the top you got to fight the top fighters..
Hardy was exposed big time and was nothing more than a gimmick.
I do think Bispings a better all around fighter than Hardy’s ass… But he could have done more in the chael fight and he didn’t end of story.
I thought he kicked Chaels ass. A few well timed takedowns won Chael the fight.
Other than that I thought he didn’t show too much, shit I remember thinking that Andy would wreck Chael the second time around after that fight.

Yea but maybe you were and still are underestimating bisping,, he is pretty solid...
good takedown defense, and good movement..
Andy is also a bad match up for Chael.
Triangle chokes and all that.

Unambig
I’m sorry but you are being sarcastic right? Swick was top ten when Hardy beat him and Marcus Davis is no scrub.
You have to be joking, because fighting Lytle isn’t an easy one.

Lytle got decimated by Koscheck and Ebersole
Even tho I initially acted like a small child, I have been forced to come to my senses. enzo-enormous is better at calling fights than I am, by far. I am a little immature but am working on it. Also, I love dudes and cant wait to get a reach around from the 209
Tough fight agaisnt Josh for sure a guy who has been perinial top 5
And the Ebersole fight came after a serious injury, and he did look like shit in that fight. but Chris Lytle is one of the best to never win a belt in the last 5 years at least.

Lytle is a tough fight for anyone. He had a torn meniscus(which ive had a wrestled with. SUCKS) in the Ebersole fight

Stand up and subs like Lytle's in one fighter is pretty scary.
Also Lytle fought every one, which you have to like.

I don't think he was ever finished.
in like 60 fights. Not once. Ok, I looked it up and he had 2 TKO losses, bith by doctor stoppage for cuts.
Fuck is that impressive.
Mania is not quite Mania without Dakatak. Come back soon, Dak.
Please copy this sig if you agree.
Alves and I don't remember who the other one was.

davis was a top 10 ww when they fought .. and so was swick .. if swick would of won he would of got a shot as gsp … i dont know what happened to hardy .. dude was rolling along .. maybe after he lost to gsp he tried making too many changes .. or maybe he didnt make enough of them .. i dont know ..
So every morning this guy comes to my apartment complex to collect cans out of the dumpster he then crushes them .. turns out the guys name is fedor ..
Swick was never that good...
The Ufc roster has improved so much,,,, Swick was a name from TUF,,, He would not survive in the UFC now, he wouldnt
Probably not. But that doesn't discredit that it was a big win at the time.
Swick’s best win was Davis.

Ludwig should win, Hardy doesn't have the fire anymore that led him to be a contender
Lance Storm Version 2.0
I like Hardy's personality...
actually seems like a nice dude outside of the trash talk. But I see this as a gatekeeper fight for Lytle’s spot. Who’s more versatile? I predict a Hardy loss, possibly heading to Strikeforce.
Minowaman forever
Zuffa had to make sure they GAVE him the BEST possible style match up for him
ZUffa cant handle having a UFC-NFL quality elite athlete losing 5 in a row. SO they made DAMN SURE that Hardy would face NO ONE with any kind of ground game whatsoever.
Sources tell me that Jason Thacker from TUF 1(guyLeben pissed on his pillow & fought at Finale) was busy and couldnt make it for the fight).
UFC also tried to bring back Ross Pointin or Josh Haynes by offering 10 times the pay when they fought for the UFC….and no go’s there either
Really all I gotta say here is this guy got NO business fighting in the UFC after 4 str8 losses. He especially shouldnt be fighting a guy that give hims his only realistic posibilty of winning….and thats a stretch.
IF the UFC is giving a fighter a notehr chance after losing 4 in a row, HARDY should AT LEAST be fighting someone of the caliber of a Rory McDonald OR Mike Pyle OR Koscheck OR Shields OR Kampmann OR ANY WELL ROUNDED fighter.
But just like any UK fighter….they get the easiest possible paths period.
Josh haynes is to busy being a cop!
And i feel ya man,, they let clowns like this stick around… and let a fighter like the MANDINGO go after one fight with a guy like Volkman…
so Ludwig is the easiest possible path?
fuck off with your UK fighter gets the easiest path shit.
Hardy lost 4 in a row the easiest path would be bring a random professional in for Hardy to destroy. You goon.
What did you think id look like...

hardys goin bye bye
bones jones will be the champ for a VERY long time
damn that was fun watching tito choke out bader
If they're so desperate to give Hardy a win
they might as well pair him up with a flyweight. Ludwig is gonna bury him.
