UFC on VS 5 Post Fight: Dan Hardy on The Fastest Rise and Fall in UFC History

[CHAOS2FAST]

why is his eyes RED?

[Frankwestcritic]

@CHAOS2FAST he had just had a fight

[back2bay666]

I love Dan Hardy. While he's not the "biggest name" in UFC, his style and heart and his training methods are amazing. He's the reason I've started training Muay Thai at 27years old. I'm not looking to be a fighter, I just want to have Hardys build and cardio. You rock Outlaw!

[MrFsinner]

Dan You Are A legend =)

[Messtevan]

he's been losing his ass off. time to move!

[ThePunjabifamily]

Dan Hardy`s a great kickboxer but now he`s working with GSP is great .I am

your biggest fan Mr.Hardy .Thank You for always putting up a gr8 fight.

[gizzeria14]

Dan Hardy is a stand-up guy...and you gotta love his style. I'd like to see him bounce back strong

[yoshitoraakuma]

i love you DAN HARDY!!!!

[thiagosilva0907]

Dan Hardy is the man.. Hopefully he can start another good run in the ufc.

[thiagosilva0907]

Dan Hardy is the man.. Hopefully he can start another good run in the ufc.

[lovedavdubs]

This is the first time I've seen this guy say anything humble and from the heart. Up to this point I found him annoying on a personal level. This changes my opinion a bit. It take a big man to say what he's saying here and I can respect a fighter who is willing to admit he's not invincible.

[LApsychobilly323]

dan hardy you are still a great fighter I hope to see again in the ufc dan you rock man

[MrSomename89]

Get the facts straight people, Dan's just a character, promoter, hype builder. In no way was he ever ready for GSP. He hasn't done a single thing since. He didn't prove anything in the GSP fight but balls. Then from there got KTFO, worked on the ground, and submitted 5 seconds after attempting a TD. He's more than done in the UFC.

[kawasaki983]

@MrSomename89 you get in there and do it MOUTH, cant stand idiots like you. Dumb cunt...

[MrSomename89]

@kawasaki983 Same here, I can't stand idiots who like talking shit behind their keyboard. I express an opinion and I got some fuckhead nobody talking shit to me on the internet. Get a life, 'cause trust me you only say that shit for the reason that you don't know who you're talking to...

[kevied88]

gr8 stand up fighter, w gr8 stand up training partners (paul daley, ross pearson and even michael bisping in the past),is a eddie bravo bjj but needs to work on his wrestling and clinch work....i would leave roy nelson and go to xtreme couture, jacksons or militech fighting systems to have world class grappling partners,

[bigbadbc]

i think he doesn't need a us training camp he needs to step back and work his way back up the ladder like everyone has to do i think he is the best english fighter in the ufc lets have the battle of britain HARDY v BISPING

[terrorofsesameST]

Hardy is an average MMA fighter according to UFC standards. He beat Gono, KO'd Markham, stole a victory from Marcus Davis and fought his best fight against Swick and then gets a title shot?! lol sorry but that was a joke he had no business in the cage w/ GSP. Then fights Condit (future title contender) gets KO'd..Rumble Johnson manhandles him on the ground and no subbed by Lytle. You can see the potential there w/ him I think he needs to find a US training camp if he wants another title shot.

[jp221073]

I think cutting him is a mistake because of his following in England but also so win or lose as long as his opponent wants to fight and not play point MMA Dan Hardy will swing till somebody falls and he don't even care if its him.I guess now that we got the fuckin media running the god damn UFC to Dana will have no choice top cut him to avoid his boss the media.Its one thing to get in there and have boring fights and nobody cheers for you but they love Hardy even here so in America.

[wickedcusi]

@jp221073 thats why they haven't released him from the ufc he worth a lot of money in PPV due to his fan base and the fact he puts on exciting fights/ fun to watch entrances.

[matklstrength]

he really did fight not to lose in this fight which was really dissapointing because ithink a hardy who's hungry for that ko would have finished lytle.

[Fpsbob]

@matklstrength HE would have been the first guy EVER to knock him out ...he tried he was hungry but he has to be careful ..lytle aint no joke..

[AgentSpiral]

It's not about not liking the guy. He's likeable. But he needs to fight elsewhere for a while till he gets his skill level back up.

[CardiffSoul11]

Solid, eloquent, real! 

[fu2yda]

i want to see him fight again

[BrannonMcConkey]

I remember disliking this guy during the GSP days. You guys remember that? I don't think i've ever had such a steady, progressive turnabout of feeling on someone. He is one of the best guys out there (as a person,) and a very fair, generous man.

[RyanDavis2306]

@BrannonMcConkey same with Bisping evryone used to hate him just because he's British when really he's one of the best people in his division

[Oreillyisthebest]

i like the guy...but...he started looking like a zombie in that fight...he wouldn't let his fucking hands go! he was gun-shy....

[LeeUnited4eva]

Dan hardy is a great soild fighter i do agree though he does need to take some time away get in the gym and carry onto improve hes a brilliant fighter and a classy guy after fights even though he likes to play head games sometimes hes always great with fans and shows his oppents respect after the fights i hope he comes back strong and gets back to his winning ways

[im2PacsFather]

i felt bad fo hardy even tho hes dumb and a hater

[im2PacsFather]

pelase no intro , put it at the end

[johnnythesexdonkey]

Stop bumping these fucking videos you twats

[dangelo003]

Dana white just used hardy because he wanted to get into the british market... that is hardy was able to stay in the ufc after 3 losses because he is british.

[1029Itachi]

@dangelo003 For real? I didn't know that! T_T

[iM0nst3r]

He just needs to train somewhere new so his game will improve drastically. That doesn't mean train somewhere that teaches lay and pray.

[AlcoholicSemenStain2]

Dan "The Can" Hardy. hey it rhymes

[07liberian]

Haha Everyone Was Complaining Before That Fighters Was Just Wrestling Him, This Dude Couldn't Even Get The Upper Hand In A Straight Up Brawling Match With Lytle.

Yeah Hardy Take Some Time Off And Improve...ll You Have Is An Occasional Lucky Punch.

[seanheadhunter]

I commend you in defeat Dan, I respect your honesty though clearly disappointed! Dont give up yet mate. Take the time you need and come back Dan 5.0 - a new improved Dan Hardy, and fly the flag again for the UK...... Peace

[gqunot]

Hardy always been overrated; I'm no being a UK hater or anything i'm just staying the facts. Look at his record he almost lost to Gono and Davis? WDF? His record says it all. He has never beaten a top WW fighter like a Fitch, Silva, ect.

[fantana817]

@gqunot there is no silva at ww dummy

[gqunot]

@fantana817 Are you a moron? Their no one at Silva at WW? I guess Thiago Silva must fight at MW. LOL Idiot.

[gqunot]

@gqunot 

[fantana817]

@gqunot Thiago "Alves" fights at WW, Thiago Silva fights at LHW, Anderson Silva fights at MW, Bigfoot Silva fights at HW.. and Joe Silva makes the fights for UFC. Anything else you need to know?!

[tmxman23]

Dan Hardy.. move to America and learn to wrestle...take a year off and improve or go fight somewhere else

[Ubergeekpie]

Guys wtf. stfu about hoping he will stay and READ LORENZO'S TWITTER.

HE'S STAYING FOR AT LEAST1 MORE FIGHT.

[macscr]

I enjoy watching him fight. Hope he keeps fighting in the UFC.

[MMAspiritus]

Hardy's just a streetfighter - not a martial artist.

No defense - baiting his opponent to throw first so he can counter - that's not going to work on this level. And that's all he's got. And I think it shows a lack of respect for the sport. He's just getting worse with every loss.

Count yourself lucky, Hardy, if you land in Strikeforce with such a weak game.

[Desi9]

@MMAspiritus not a martial artist huh? u know that he lived in china and trained with the monks right? get ur facts straight kid

[MMAspiritus]

@Desi9 What good it did him. That was a very pretentious thing for a mere streetfighter to do. But I guess someone thought he had a legitimate amount of talent to develop. And I think he does. But he just doesn't have the right attitude. And he all but admits it himself. Yet another blown opportunity!

[thuglyf121212]

all the beat mate!!

[ConvoyGTR]

Dan is such a quality guy, I wish the best for him

[UFCBrockLesnar1]

@ConvoyGTR how so?

[ConvoyGTR]

@UFCBrockLesnar1 I don't know. Dan is a polite, articulate, honest and humble guy, as opposed to Bisbing who IMO is arrogance and bash. Dan goes out to fight like Lytle and sometimes you gonna get knocked out or lose. If you feel differently that's okay too

[UFCBrockLesnar1]

@ConvoyGTR yeah he's a nice guy, but I just don't understand why Lorenzo didn't release him. if you lose 3 times in a row you usually get cut, Dan has now lost 4 times in a row and nothing happens, that's bullshit. they release a guy like Brandon Vera who only lost twice in a row and he is A LOT better than Hardy is. I hate when they play favourites.

[ConvoyGTR]

@UFCBrockLesnar1 Isn't Brandon Vera on the 137 card? i guess they appreciate someone why tries to finish the fight opposed to someone like Jon Fitch who runs down the clock for a judges decision. And plus Dan is a likeable, marketable guy who still has a good record and tries to finish fights. I guess all that gets him one more chance.

[UFCBrockLesnar1]

@ConvoyGTR yeah they re-signed Vera because Alves failed the medical exam, so they deemed it a NC.

[pioneert90]

There is no point wasting your time going for an aerodynamic advantage with a mo-hawk...to then blow it all on heavy ink, you was winning....until all this ink... IDIOT!

[F4stFow4rd25]

too bad i started to like and enjoy watching him when he is on a losing streak : /

[harrybrignall]

he just needs to work a shit load more jui jitsu and wrestling, and following what hes good at with the striking, he didnt throw many kicks in that fight, especially after chris grabbed the first leg kick he threw, chris luired him into a boxing match pretty much , he was not the same dan hardy we saw before the GSP title fight, keep your head up dan and just train harder than ever before and come back strong

[422RAVENS]

USA FIGHTERS > UK FIGHTERS

[UFCBrockLesnar1]

@422RAVENS all fighters are better than UK fighters.

[Buttcheeks247]

Silly limeys...

[MrSomename89]

in no way was he ever ready for a title shot. now hes 4-4. he got dominated by GSP and Rumble, who BTW took it way too easy on him, he got KTFO by Condit, and now he got submitted by Lytle. In no way is he a threat to the 170 division.

[thunderballzz]

He sucked in stand up! I like Hardy, but he cant even cut it with the botttom 10 welterweights. He cant stay in the UFC fighting cans

[MyDeArmAsTeR1]

hes from the UK, he sucks

[airforce7385]

he'll be gone soon, 4 straight not good hardy, not good

[crazycasy]

Dan hardy for president!!!

[MMAspiritus]

@crazycasy Ha! Yeah, especially now that Obama has proven you needn't be a natural-born citizen. Let's import all our Presidents from somewhere else!

8 P

[mrpedrotafolla90]

Why the fuck does everyone talk like Joe Rogan when it comes to MMA?

[UltiEd]

@mrpedrotafolla90 Because after watching 3 UFC events you know everything about MMA, training procedure, and mental games!

[mrpedrotafolla90]

@UltiEd WTF r u being serious?

[UltiEd]

@mrpedrotafolla90 Nope, not at all. Hard being sarcastic on the internet without writing it. But yeah obviously I'm just fucking around.

[mrpedrotafolla90]

@UltiEd Oh cool yeah I just find it annoying

[MarijuanaGood4U]

Did his cute girlfriend leave him yet? Ima need her number

[BadAssBlackOverlord]

@MarijuanaGood4U They actually broke up after his loss from what I heard.

[AlcoholicSemenStain2]

@MarijuanaGood4U yeah that bitch looks great

[yorkshirerepresenter]

he let nothing go ,hands down head up...left hook...left hook..................left hook,

im a big dan hardy fan but he looked fuckin useless in this fight.

[heardcountybrave]

@yorkshirerepresenter I think the loss to Condit took the fire out of him.

[yorkshirerepresenter]

@heardcountybrave yeh it seemd like that.he looked like he was shitting bricks at the start just before his intro aswel,its a shame..i love to scream england along with him lol

[heardcountybrave]

@yorkshirerepresenter I just like he is taking this time to reinvent his career. I think these losses are beginning to mature him. Where he was cocky before, he has been humbled, which could actually benefit him.

[leechababy]

he's a mid-tier fighter, the UFC will most likely feed him low level strikers with weak chins to boost his confidence again & put him on the main cards of UFC events in England

[poolboyinla]

I don't like this guy and he is one of my least favorite fighters but he did a very good job in that fight.

[MrMmaboss]

Stick at it dan please! one of my favourite fighters!

[ismaelillo3]

I glad he did not get cut. The sport needs fighters like Hardy. People think it's all about wining and it's not. It's the way you win or loose. Look at the way he lost, they both fought their asses off for three rounds, Hardy knew it was going to the score cards so he took a risk to get an edge on the round and he ran into trouble but he took a risk unlike fighters that fight not to loose. He deserved that next fight, I think he deserves 5 more fights.

[Pomaori]

He needs to work on that gas tank

[heardcountybrave]

Dang so much hate for hardy but he really is a cool guy. I understand the hate for lisping but I like hardy. win or lose he comes to throwdown

[UFCBrockLesnar1]

so he's lost like 5 fights in a row now, but he's not released? but yet they release guys that lose once or twice. something's fucky.

[secret212000]

@UFCBrockLesnar1

4 in a row, first to the champ then the guy next in line for the title shot after Diaz, then rumble, and now Lytle. Those are all top guys he lost to. He's always an exciting fighter, plus he's probably the 2nd most popular fighter in the UK... the big bosses aren't dumb enough to let him go just yet.

[UFCBrockLesnar1]

@secret212000 yeah but he keeps losing, so he gets a free pass but everyone else gets cut after 1 or 2 losses. there shouldn't be any favourites, if a guy loses that many times, he's cut.

[secret212000]

@UFCBrockLesnar1

The fight game is also big business and Hardy has millions of fans. He brings in a lot of money whether he loses or not, most UFC fighters with better records still don't carry the marketing power of Dan Hardy. Of course he'll get special treatment, it's the way of the world.

[UFCBrockLesnar1]

@secret212000 yeah and it's not right, Hardy isn't even that great of a fighter, he's only a popular because the UK has only a couple of fighters in UFC, and nobody likes Bisping.

[secret212000]

@UFCBrockLesnar1

Let's put it this way, Hardy is in a very unique position. I also think that he started fighting top guys from the get-go, which was great for him in the beginning and ultimately his downfall in the end.

[Livingswow]

i think now he knows he needs to be a MMA fighting to fight in MMA i think he will learn his ground-game better with Eddie Bravo and get his wrestling into check and then he should come back as it is he gets dominated by anyone with a wrestling pedigree so he needs to get the MMA part in check and not just come in with Stand-up

[serpakovski]

He deffinetly need some time off,there is no point to put him against Koscheck or Alves in his next fight

[bassmike7021]

He should be the face of MMA in UK, not Bisping.

[bassmike7021]

Man, he looks devastated... :(

Chris Lytle is one of my favorite fighters, however I wanted Hardy to win so he won't get cut. I'm happy that he wont get cut, I know that it's a bit unfair for others guys that get cut after 2 or 3 wins, but I'm happy for him.

I respect him 10 times more than that disrespectful Bisping who is like 10-4 in the UFC (mostly over mediocre guys) and he does not have the guts to say "Give me Silva, Marquardt, Sonnen or Okami". At least Hardy asked for bigger matches.

[mafista]

@bassmike7021 i hate bisping aswell but he beat okami

[bassmike7021]

@mafista Who? Bisping? No man. Okami has 5 losses: Sonnen, Franklin, Shields, Vitale and Suloev.

Check it on wikipedia.

[MainTerror]

he looked aweful that night

[D1D1P]

FAGET



[bettzeug]

yeah you were too busy buying cars and getting tattoos rather than improving, your own fault

[Frogger0neXx]

@bettzeug what have you improve recently. On the reals dude. You all try not to judge so much.

[91reptiles]

My hero

[proxyannick]

Hardy is still one of the best in the sport!great fighter he will be back stronger maybe in 2 or 3 years!cheers

[stevie179]

@proxyannick 3 years lol i dont think dana will give him 3 years off lol

[proxyannick]

@stevie179 Dan Hardy is one of dana's favourite fighters in the ufc so i think he will give him 2 or 3 years!

[lonerworm]

Pure class

Maybe going to another gym is the answer hanging with big country too much hardy u was the shit coming up but its like ur fire died... a lot..get ur mind back in it baby!!! N fix them areas that need to be fixed..mostly wrestling..

[keepitganstadawg]

4 losses in 2 years, he is gone. i hope he comes back when he gets some good wins under his belt again. i admit i didnt really like dan hardy , but now i feel for him and il miss him and hope he returns

[407ridinchevy]

It waz a good fight tho

[Rcee01]

i don't think hes elite..anymore.

[rshadio]

good luck dan...keep your head up. Also please sign up to be in the next MAD MAX MOVIE.......lol every time i see this dude he reminds me of a mad max movie.....just a thought

[BostonBrawler7568]

Very classy. Much respect hardy

[toddybottoms]

I have always hated that guy. I am glad he is humbled. I think I can like him and root for him again now. I just can't stand arrogant fighters, no matter what their skill level is.

[jeremyshambles]

@toddybottoms agreed, or just arrogant, egotical blow hards in general.. which, incidentally seem to be glorified in todays culture for some disturbing reason.. must be the atrocious public school system. take care

[w0y1z92753]

If tito can go 30 years without a win and still keep his job, I'm sure you'll be ok after 4 losses.

[HoneyIEducatedTheWeb]

@w0y1z92753

Because obviously Dan was instrumental in the rise of the UFC and held the belt for several years. :S

[w0y1z92753]

@HoneyIEducatedTheWeb Lol, well, yes. You do make a good point :D

[MasterOctagon]

get to another gym bro... this shit is not working for you.... go to greg jacksons or something

[aznazm]

he shoulda taken that time off after his fight with gsp.... fight hard dan!!

[boredasfckxx]

I hope Hardy takes the time he needs, and makes the improvements that need to be made. I'm rooting for him.

[seancarletonzero]

Quality fighter, good guy, just not quite elite.

[icedgodz428]

dam hardy fails!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Legitbusiness1182]

Ok so I'm assuming this dude is finished.

[titzmageex]

@Legitbusiness1182 nope, dana said he's not getting cut

[Legitbusiness1182]

@titzmageex Well thats good to hear considering this is his lively hood and all. I think the guy can still compete he's just having a slump.

[Yayo1734]

If the UFC had more UK fighters they'd let this guy go to BAMMA in a heartbeat.

It is hilarious that Mr. Stand and Bang lost a stand up fight by shooting for a takedown. This fight proved this guy can't even win a stand up fight against a top 25 opponent.

[mrJunior4308]

ur going to have a lot of time when ur cut from ufc

[baphomet58]

Fuck you hardy. He's an absolute fucking can, good at nothing. He's a shitty striker with no power, has no ground, and has no wrestling. Why the fuck is he employed? It truly makes the sport look like a joke, thanks to Zuffa. I don't watch sports to see men throw hooks at each other for 20 minutes. When they don't fire him because he's 'entertaining', I can no longer look at mma as a sport.

[ArmTriangleChoke]

@baphomet58 Now if you were a somebody that might mean something.

[maddencritic]

@baphomet58 shut the fuck up u idiot every fights different!!!

[samb311]

@baphomet58 haha well how about you stand up and strike with him and then say he has no power. he's in a slump he's a quality fighter but you're obviously stupid judging by your ridiculous rant.

[Carnius797]

@baphomet58 Good thing you're just some nobody on youtube , Go make something of your life instead of just typing shit to people you wouldn't say a thing to if you saw them besides "can i have your autograph".

[JairoSotoM]

we win some n lose some, keep your head up mate!!!

[tkflex]

@JairoSotoM - He will and should be Cut
