UFC 111: St. Pierre vs. Hardy Full Results

After review of your pre fight interviews, may I say George, you are still the epitome of class. Even though most analysis said it was going to be a good fight, you disposed and man handled Hardy with your true self disposition, as I thought you would. If all MMA fighters took after you and your class, the sport will be elevated again.

Thanks GSP for being the class of the MMA again. As another Canadian was, Brett The Hitman Hart, GSP is … The best there was … the best there is … and … the best there ever will be.

You could obviously see with training with guys like Kenny Florian, Patrick Cote, Etc that GSP was in understanding and prepared for his 9th Championship fight to Hardy’s 1st.

Mr. Hardy, your flight back may be 20 ounces lighter, but hold your head high, you are a story for the English and may all your fights be blessings to you and a lead forward for the children in Nottingham and around your club. You are an amazing example of a fighter.

What next for the icon … GSP?

May I personally suggest, GSP retire from MMA, as word is, he is focusing on making the Canada Wrestling Team in 2012 for the Olympics. George, there is no one else around the world (MMA) that is worth you investing in. Take your health and may you help intitiate a good growth program for Canada Amateur Wrestling Association for the future of this sport.

considering he had a british fighter (flame away, but british guys are not known for bringing elite bjj/wrestling to the cage) on the mat 20 seconds in during more than a few rounds, I was looking for GSP to finish Hardy. for a guy that only had a puncher’s chance, i was less than impressed with GSP. i’m tired of all the P4P **** about GSP. fight anderson silva? what are you people smoking? GSP can’t even finish Hardy with over 4 min’s on the mat to work in multiple rounds.

And it’s a pretty lop-sided score for GSP:

Hands down, the most impressive thing of the night had to be Jim Miller defending Bocek’s rear-naked choke attempts with one hand. That was pretty amazing. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone defend that.

Also, can someone please teach Jon Fitch at least one submission, preferably something involving an arm that he can use from top control (e.g., kimura or keylock). I had no idea black belts were awarded in Guerrilla Jiu-Jitsu based solely on submission defense.
