Dan Hardy Was Gearing Up For GSP Prior To Victory Over Mike Swick

 According to Hardy, his style against Swick is similar to how he intends to fight GSP.  Here to talks about his UFC 105 fight with Mike Swick at Telegraph.co.uk.

"I had a few opportunities and did not go after them. I handled him and hurt him several times." 


Here he give his thoughts on his upcoming match up with GSP:

"I’d fight him in Canada, Las Vegas, England, on the moon, or in the car park," said Hardy. "I want that belt."

"I will never know until I have a go, and I’m here to have a go. I have all the skills to cause him a lot of problems, and he is only human. He’s a great athlete very good at winning and putting together a gameplan; but he is not a fighter like me. And I’m going to get in there and my intention is to hurt him, put a beating on him. In a 25 minute fight, it’s a long time to keep my hands off his chin."


Well, at least Hardy is good at hyping a fight.

tell me Dan,

how do you propose to implement said gameplan off your back when you have a broken nose from elbows and fists thrown from the full mount and are seconds away from tapping out….actually don’t, i’ll enjoy watching :)

I guess. But what's he supposed to say?

“I’m gonna train like I’ve never trained before. I’ll be in the gym 18 hours a day, and I’ll be running on the track for 7 hours a day too. I’ll bring in the best training partners in the world along with the best coaches. And all of this will not matter because St. Pierre is twice the fighter I will ever be.”

I mean, it may be true, but you can’t expect brutal honesty like that in fighters hyping a fight. :)

Yes! Yes! In the face!

it's just my opinion

The world would be a strange place if we all conformed to the same train of thought, we might not even have a need for forums like this. I respect what you’re saying though, this is you’re forum and as a guest i’m willing to leave if it’s desirable. I ain’t out to you wrong :)

Nah

Not at all…this is everybody’s forum…I have fighters I dislike as well…we all do…there a tactful way to go about communicating it…just flat out calling fighters tools and a disgrace to the sport isn’t one of them.

The tool remark is a failure in communication on my part, there are indeed better ways to express one’s feelings or not express them at all if they are that strong. If i believe someone like Kimbo is a disgrace that however is an opinion, it’s not an attempt to insult him like the ill-thought out tool remark. That is how i feel about the dude. I’m not saying i’m right, i’m merely giving my viewpoint on the subject. It’s not a slight on Kimbo as an individual, i’m sure he’s a cool dude but that doesn’t mean his contribution in my estimation to mma is any less of a disgrace. Hardy is a disgrace to mma for different reasons, which like Kimbo’s ones i can accept are subjective at the very least. I’ll always hold Hardy to task (whatever forum it be) ’til he loses his arrogant approach.

Like Kimbo though you can be a swell guy but if you’re input is not condusive to the general good then its time to move on, and that’s where you’ll know best about mine. The unsavoury insults will go but i’d be lying if i said i’m going to refrain from expressing how i feel about Kimbo and Hardy or any other fighter (Rashad probably too) if its of a negative nature. Maybe its a cultural thing, but where i come from you wear your heart on your sleeve and let it all hang out. The good goes with the bad and people see ya for what you are, and how ya feel. That just might not be tolerable here and i’m not going to be offended in the slightest if thats the case. Ironically I was asked to leave BloodyElbow but like everything in life there’s a place for everything and everyone. This might not be the place for me. I sure as hell don’t want to be raising you’re ire or that of any of the other moderators. You’re all cool dudes and while i’ll openly admit i’m strongly opionated i sure as hell ain’t out to abuse someone’s goodwill or the service they’re providing. There’s every chance i’ll find like minded individuals elsewhere. I’ll still enjoy following the site if i’m not contributing.

lol

There’s nothing wrong with strong opinion….I encourage you all to speak your minds…even if your thoughts are negative towards a fighter….I just ask that you be tactful in your approach…nothing more nothing less….

I like Hardy

but the only way he beats GSP is to get a punch in that rocks him like Serra did.

It wont really matter to me who wins either, being that I’m a fan of both.

The hype will be better than the fight — but hey these type of fights come around every once in a while when there’s a dominant division king.

Bloody hell.
