Quoteworthy: Dan Hardy Thinks A Fight With Carlos Condit Would Be A Step Back?

by Kelvin Hunt on Jul 5, 2009 11:03 AM EDT in News

Dan Hardyspeaking with MMAinsider:

"Realistically, he probably does have a slight advantage on the ground if you look at his record, because he has a lot more submissions than I have. But for my last three fights, I've been destined to get my ass kicked by every one of them and it hasn't happened yet, so at some point people are going to stop doubting me and realize that I'm not such a pushover." He's coming off a loss and I'm coming off three wins, so I don't know whether the UFC will see that as a viable fight for me," he said. "Maybe he should get someone like Davis next, I donâ€™t know. I really donâ€™t know what value it would be to me, to be honest, apart from being fun."

What? I guess Hardy failed to realize that Condit was on a 8 fight win streak prior to the Kampmann loss in his UFC debut. Which was a razor close decision that could have easily gone in Condit's favor. Condit's been recoginzed by most as a top ten WW for quite a while now. I think it would be a great fight, and Hardy implies the same sentiments. However, he makes it seem as if Condit is a scrub now after the loss to Kampmann. What say you?

I mean Kampmann was basically one win away from a titleshot at MIDDLEWEIGHT, so I don’t what the fuck’s going through Hardy’s brain right there.

Bloody hell.

Condit vs Kampmann 2

I’d rather see Condit/Kampmann 2. This fight just made sherdogs top 5 fights so far in 2009. Amazing Hardy would not consider Condit a worthy opponent. I love Condit fights and his fight with Kampmann was so exciting to watch all that happened on the ground. Seriously thought Condit had it, but I think Kampmanns aggressiveness in the 3rd gave him the decision. Both these guys are awesome. Hardy should be more sportsman and say “whoever the UFC puts in front of me”, and not take a way from Condit.

Well I’d rank Hardy well above Condit at this point but that doesn’t mean it would be a step back for Hardy.

A fight against Hughes makes more sense to me though.

I’d like to see Condit make this “britch” tap.

I couldn’t agree more if I TRIED. Dan Hardy might be a decent fighter, but I don’t see him getting past Condit. I mean come on, if he goes to the ground fighting Davis, what hope does he have?

I think Hardy knows it's probable that he is going to fight Condit next...

so maybe it’s him just starting his pre-fight trash talking (like he did with Davis) now.

...some call me "el mexicutioner"...

Could be….he definitely knows how to hype a fight.

Condit’s fight with Kampmann was so close, even fightmetric ruled it a draw*. Based on that and his run in the WEC, I think that he’d destroy Hardy. I also think that I would love to see it, and that Hardy is just being his usual self and running his mouth. Might be a good idea, Davis said it affected him in their fight.

Then again, maybe I’m biased. I was introduced to MMA through sleepless nights and reruns of WEC Wreckage; Condit because an early favorite of mine.
