Rumble Johnson says '[Expletive] Dan Hardy, it's not my fault if he can't wrestle'

[madmike1]

Sorry Anthony the fat johnson but you was the reason it was boring, dan should of got his wrestling in check but you should of too, if you was going to go to the ground, try and knock him out on the ground, keep the pace, if you are unable to do that, to me it says you have good takedowns but a bad ground game. In my opinon, whats best for the sport and a true represintation of martial arts is to try and finish your enemy as quick as possible, the key word is finish.

[madmike1]

@madmike1 Because honestly you never see mma style wrestling in a real fight, what is he going to do? just wait till you are done and then actually fight you, or just thumb your eyes due to frustration. MMA I see is the true way to test your martial arts skills and not go to jail, its a fight, and should always be, a fight, if you want it to be a points game, you should go do amature wrestling, or martial arts tournaments, those are not fights, they are games, which some people just want to do.

[misfit4XP]

That fight sucked, because johnson promised a knockout, but instead he turned into a pussy all of a sudden ... no disrespect its just Fucked that he would talk all this shit and not back it up (shit talk as in promise a knockout, thn go for the takedown the whole match) ... You know ???

[notreason]

Brits can't fight.

[madmike1]

@notreason Actually they can, pretty well, I would say more then the US due to the lack of gun crime but scary ammount of assults, its safe to say quite a few martial artists in the uk would of took the time to be effective in fights. I would say the US collectively as the most passive due to the fact they rely on non combat sports like amature wrestling to win an mma match alot of the time. The thing is, most british people are stubborn and just want to fight more then they want to win.

[BareFistBrawler480AZ]

Totally agree

[TheKj1434]

If you think RUMBLE is boring..............KILL YOURSELF!

[dss103]

Lol Johnson's right, this is MMA, not K-1. People forget that shit but it's the truth. LIkewise, this isn't NCAA Wrestling hish school shit either. It's MMA (Motherfucking Martial Arts) So these dudes gotta become multi-dimensional

[07liberian]

@dss103 Grappling (Wrestling) Is A Martial Art In Case You Didn't Know.

[madmike1]

@07liberian Grappling is, submission wrestling, BJJ, Sambo, and Greco Roman and Judo are martial arts due to the fact they are learning to defend themselves by taking out their enemy. Amature wrestling, not in the slightist, that is a sport and always have been, you don't defend yourself by pinning a man, it would not work in a real fight if the police never came. Amature wrestling only would be a martial art if they actually teached ground and pound, which they never do, its mma that does.

[tilerdurden2001]

This guy will never grow his fan base. Boring as fuck to watch. He didn't even try to finish... He is a boring fighter who's not got the minerals to fight in his natural weight class.

[BxRabbit96]

Rumble is takin it up the ass, all Hardy said was the reason that the fight was boring was cuz of him, which was true.

[LMW87MMA]

@BxRabbit96 lol nice logic. You could say that it's actually Dan's fault _for not stopping the takedowns_ and it would make just as much sense even though it would be an opposite claim. You're an idiot.

[SXPXOXOXNXMXAXNX]

dan hardy would have never had this aura around him as a good fighter if he had fought a wrestler before gsp

[Dudster25]

What's the name of that song at the beginning of the video in the background?

[FFBKM07]

If Anthony finished the fight than it would matter whether or not Dan can wrestler. Truth is Anthony said he was gonna knock him out before the fight and laid on him for 15 minutes. he's a known striker and decided to play it safe and wants to act like he didnt like every other UFC fighter that just want a W. Dan had more submission attempts of his back that Anthony had on top.Meanwhile he didnt even come close to finishing him with ground and pound. Thats just the truth. He played it safe.

[wiredtoawall]

@FFBKM07 where in the rules does it say a fighter has to fight the same way he said before the fight?

[MrThongLover]

LOLHardy

[stylezNout]

fuck crackers that lay and pray

[napalmsunrise83]

Fuck rumble's bitch ass, I guarantee he will never hold a belt

[xabovethisworldx]

@apocalypse123 Nate is moving down to weight,Johnson is not moving up.

[apocalypse123]

@xabovethisworldx Seriously? Wow. Doesn't make much sense.

[AnaMaghribi05]

Not a Anthony Johnson fan but guys' he does have a point. Dan Hardy needs to learn how to defend takedowns and must improve his wrestling if he wants to move up the ladder. That simple.

[CptQuakers]

LOL even Hardy could wrestle he still would have lost. Rumble was like 20 pounds heavier than Hardy. When It comes to wrestling that's a massive difference. Also Rumble was on top for 2 whole rounds and still could only get a decision ? Poor Rumble poor.....

[llcooljtc123]

GSP did the same shit why do you feel like you can jump on Johnson because he did that hop off his nuts Johnson would have knocked his ass out anyway

[jas108]

All u guys mad at rumble cuz he layed n preyed hardy are retarded.you guys should be mad at hardy cuz hardy cant wrestle.he needs to stop complaining about wrestling being in mma and actually learn how to do it.and u guys are acting like hardy was winning the stand up or something...he ven got knocked down from a head kick and thats how they got on the ground in the 1st place lol

[pokerockman]

Lol, he said he'll be prepared to bang... guess not.

[myblock]

Dan Hardy couldnt handle him when they were on the feet getting rocked and what not. 

[920802]

he wrestled at 174 all through college, and he's at 170 now, whats the problem, he's only missed weight once, stop complaining

[pokerockman]

@920802 His just recommending... your moaning.

[bm2g]

yellow teethed bitch!!!

[djslim25]

@bm2g lmao!!



[bm2g]

bitch

[WoffleHouse]

Dan Hardy did not say that.

[UltimateGinger1]

I hate you rumble!

[Pedestrian777]

Just had to comment on the background music. Stardust's fuckin' awesome. :D

[muchohumpty]

Karyn Bryant is the Best @ MMA interviews. Subscribe to her channel, its worth it

[realfreakaynaughtay]

Fuck AJ. Fucking liar. Don't say you're the most exciting, awesomest guy ever when you can't even get close to finishing him.

[MickyFinnMainz]

to be fair rumbles right and its true obviously he gna use his weakness against him. I like Hardy but he needs to stop chattin shit and start working on his flaws. I think hes attitudes changed since the condit fight he dont seem as humble anymore and although im still a fan i aint feeling him as much any more.

[R0b0mammal]

Fuck Dan Hardy he was losing the standup anyway so wtf? lol.

Cant blame Johnson for wrestling with him especially since he needed a win on his record.

[TommyRay2222]

Johnson is definately evolving as a fighter. He fought the smart fight and got the W. It would be ignorant to sit there and strike with hardy when he can use his wrestling to completely make the fight go his way. Very smart win Rumble!

[JustOneMorgan]

@TommyRay2222 It's not like Hardy was getting it done standing up either. People are bitching because they're only fans of standup fights..which is ridiculous. Go watch some street fights if you want something closer to that.

[FREAKINGOUTGABE]

even anderson silva walks around 220

[0XYGENgone]

Aint his fault he cant wrestle... He didnt learn after GSP... Thats too bad its the name of the game... Hardys weakness is his ground game and he will always be on his back because of it. Condit kO'd him senseless.

[seinfeld11123]

what you didnt see was his coaches greasing him up during the round breaks.

also coaches cant apply Vaseline at all anymore since GSP BJ incident

[NJZanDatsu]

Right! on!! Rumble!!!

[yellowsneakers234]

I'm no Rumble fan, but I agree w/ what he says about Hardy. If u want to stand and strike, learn how to fuckin wrestle. Hardy got his ass kicked plain and simple. That being said, Rumble should not be fighting at 170. He belongs at 185 and he knows it. He started his weight cut for this fight at 230. That is fucking rediculous.

[StephenM520]

you got like 50 pounds on him of course hes gonna tire out with you laying on him for 3 rounds! grow some balls and fight people your own size pussy. What you do is like me at 145lbs fighting a 4th grader. you better never loose.

[GodofMoose]

@StephenM520 Fuck you, you stupid faggot! THEY ARE IN THE SAME WEIGHT CLASS, WHO GIVES A FUCK IF HES BIGGER THAN HIM, HE CUTS WEIGHT, THATS WHAT FIGHTERS DO! If anything it shows his discipline you fuckhead! If Cain can make Lesnar look like a fool, then Hardy could beat Johnson with no problem. Grow some balls you dicklick.

[StephenM520]

@GodofMoose ahahahah all it shows me is he's scared to fight at his natural weight he needs the strength and size advantage obviously thats why he does it! thats bitch shit to me. If hes so big and bad he would fight at his natural weight. instead of cutting to make weight and then putting it back on before the fight, he not 170 when they fight so whats the point of fighting at the weight class? once again cuz hes scared of guys he own size.

[121mendez]

hardy/semtex need learn to wrestle or leave mma

[py2o3434]

this nigga is butthurt as fuck

[Arcturistheballer]

Guys are all haters. Everything Hardy and Johnson have said after the fight and the fight itself can all be summed up with "its not my fault he cant wrestle".

I have better take down defense then Dan Hardy. If he has a problem with mma then fight in K-1, if not then learn to wrestle. Otherwise stop crying.

[elliotb92]

rumble just wanted to get paid

he didnt wanna stand with hardy cos there was a decent chance he'd lose

i dont care for either of them so im not biased

but rumble is to blame for it being boring

but hardy needs take down defence badly

[mmawilldesha]

Rumble fights at WW because that's what they teach you when you wrestle to get to the lowest weight possible.

[MattUK9107]

Hardy shud have been training his wrestling like mad but he wants to make an exciting fight hus train on his stand up alot more still. Anyways he still my favourite Welterweight and one of my all time favourite fighters Johnson is good but damn hes boring piss off to LHW

[jbart321]

It was awesome seeing Johnson beat down that piece of crap. Hardy needs to be cut. Overrated, one dimensional, douche.

[TheJASM4collection]

Great Job Rumble. Dan Hardy deserved that ass kicking.

[DMTilian]

@TheJASM4collection You mean pancaking surely?

[TheJASM4collection]

@DMTilian ya, true

[DazedonDaHaze420]

Johnson doesnt even have a fighters spirit as far as Im concerned. hes a man with a weak mind and isnt tough enough to be the best thats why he weighs 230 and cuts to make 170, they should make him fight Fedor

[DazedonDaHaze420]

yeah Johnson your full of shit, the only reason you got the fight with Hardy was because you were going to stand and fight against him, your a coward and fought like a bitch. it seems you love getting negative attention.

oh boo hoo Kevin Burns poked me in the eye so im just going to fall on th ground and cry like a bitch, whats he going to do when he fights the tru top competition at 170 the guys who are well rounded fighters? he going to get his ass beat.

[jeffjones06]

hey guys its me anthony johnson. im a pussy

[905Justin]

fuck this guy fight at LHW you pussy

[azn0111]

This mothafucka is ugly as hell

[fairbairn613]

3:05 also has the wort facial hair ever! ahaha

[fairbairn613]

@Jerkwadd562 agreed! they were talking about him before he started training after being off for so long. of course hes going to be that huge.

[TheGreatLyger]

Its really tired listening to everyone trying to explain away the fact that Dan hardy was outdone by Johnson... HARDY LOST, i'm sorry to everyone who is rooting for hardy to win big in UFC, but the guy is a skilled striker,nothing less.....essentially seth petruzelli with a british accent...and everyone just sends themselves into a fury when he loses,not to be mean spirited, but it's hilarious. Hardy hasn't won since the GSP fight, and before that his performances weren't that good.

[Jerkwadd562]

everyone should really STFU about Rumble walking around over 220 that shit is BS....yeah maybe when hes NOT training he might walk around heavy but while he is training for a fight he is around 195-200 than makes his cut to 170 which there is nothing wrong with that...on fight night aginst Hardy, Rumble weighed around 190-195 not 225...

[905Justin]

@Jerkwadd562 ya i forgot your his trainer and know this....idiot

[Jerkwadd562]

@905Justin Actully no Smart Ass...but if you have seen any of his other videos you would know you fucking troll and the night of the fight he said he felt goot and he weighed around 190 ON FIGHT NIGHT...dipshit... and I happend to see a training vid of his where he stated he was about 205 weeks before the fight...now who looks like the Idiot? Lame ass tryna troll someone when you dont even what the hell you talkin about SON....

[SICKESTGAMER1]

Good work Rumbs

[TakedownFights]

Thanking the haters. That works.

[Robespierr]

lol rumble; how to make fans and friends...

fortunately they didnt cut hardy

oh and btw you owe me 15 minutes of my life AJ

[jjohnson218]

@Robespierr its not his fault you wAtch the full fight

[TheGreatLyger]

@Robespierr

Hardy owes you.... If you are mad about the way that the fight went down, you have no one to blame except Dan Hardy and HIS takedown defense.

[calebinho17]

All u guys are some fucking idiots who cares what he said he was gonna do u don't tell everyone ur game plan before u fight that would just be stupid. And btw it was nice when he dropped hardy with that head kick. And I also agree with Rumble if u can't keep it standing then don't fuckin bitch hardy got man handled. Its not like he pulled a Fitch at least he was going for submissions and throwing real shots.

[DMTilian]

This prick said he'd stand anyway... scheming punk.

He'll never be close to a belt in UFC

[TheGreatLyger]

@DMTilian

right now, he's closer than Hardy will ever get again.....

[DMTilian]

@TheGreatLyger Hardy got his shot by default anyway, Johnson makes a brutal weight cut because he'd get owned @ MW, if he can't get near the belt @ WW he should pack it in... go into wrestling lol.

[TheGreatLyger]

@DMTilian

Johnson only has 3 ufc losses on record...Hardy's last 3 fights have been losses. 2 where he was dominated on the ground and 1 where he was KO'd. if we are talking about anyone getting owned/needing to pack it in. it may be Mr.Hardy. Hardy isn't cut by UFC only because he has people who will overlook his shortcomings in favor of a dye job and a mohawk. He has shown no glimpse of real greatness since his UFC start and Johnson simply made him look like an incomplete fighter all night.

[DMTilian]

@TheGreatLyger If Hardy was fighting @ LW would he get so readily dominated? try drawing the right comparison matey. Johnson has lost badly when it counted too. Hardy is an excellent fighter for someone who's come from a pure striking base, it's clear in MMA the wrestlers are set to dominate... Cro Cop etc prove that, Hardy has made a strong showin all bein said. Johnson is too scared to fight @ the right weight; and even gets owned at 170 when it gets real; Kos!

Imagine what a Sonnen would do

[TheGreatLyger]

@DMTilian

If they make the weight, that is the weight..i don't see why that's ever an issue with people. He made weight, moving on...Hardy is OK at best on the level of worldwide Mixed martial artist, nowhere near the top of anything but popularity. not sure why we are talking about Kos, but isn't he the one who pretended to get hit by a knee when Rumble was killing him and was able to get a like 5 min break in the middle of the fight? Seriously, i'm not saying johnson's the GOAT, but c'mon

[DMTilian]

@TheGreatLyger Do you not rate Swick? or GSP's ability to submit an "OK" fighter? he's got more talent than your average WW, you hav to say; I still think he's reeling from Condit KO, it was a flash in the pan & I'll say Hardy was up in his own hype, he got caught BADLY.

True on Koscheat, but that fight would of been a grapple fest regardless, & AJ never had the cardio to last w/ Kos on those grounds... he got tapped because of the poke & the bullshit, but he'd of got decisioned otherwise IMO.

[TheGreatLyger]

@DMTilian

thank you for the civility, and I may even be able to see things your way on the Kos thing. that's a fair assessment(I think a KO was about to happen when the BS went down, but i no psychic either).

Hardy is a tough guy, and apparently made of rubber...he has a good pan threshold....but how many times has he tested the pain threshold of an opponent? in the swick fight he did look good, but not great.. his standup is "good" but everything else...yikes man...yikes.

[DMTilian]

@TheGreatLyger I hope Dan gets Condit rematch, will truly make or break him at top level. He's a 10th planet purple belt but a developing grappler will always get shown up by a huge wrestler 2 classes below his weight; that's the reason for my initial poke @ Johnson; all the stand & bang BS.

Hardy was thrown to the sharks a bit cos of his popularity Davis, Swick to GSP is a LEAP, he hasn't been able to hone his skills properly since IMO; sounds like I'm making excuses but he's not THAT bad.

[DMTilian]

@TheGreatLyger ... And you know he's making the wrong weight admit it, only one who comes close to that kinda cut is Thiago Alves & that's a genuine contender... he'd smash Johnson up & down; so would Fitch, Shields... anyone worth their salt.

LET ALONE what Sonnen, Stann etc. would do to AJ @ Middleweight like I said... if he's such a badass wrestler he should be strong competition, but he'd get absolutely murdered against those dudes... I'm not even goin to LHW, that's an insulting prospect.

[MrFredFreeze]

Rumble is like a mini Rampage, they should hang out.

[DMTilian]

@MrFredFreeze Rampage is hilarious though...

[ramrod20042000]

I don't know how "Rumble" does it? He walks arould at 235lbs and fights at 170lbs. What is he doing to his body and health? Should be fighting at 185lbs.

[LukeMerlinMorganIFI]

whatever, you gotta do what you gotta do. Too bad he said he was gonna stand and trade, total lie. I would understand if Hardy was beating him on the feet and he wanted to take him down but AJ did it from the start. It's also Joe Silva's fault for the fight being boring, he shouldn't have trusted AJ to stand up

[Chevy67chelios]

Whats that song in the background at 1:01 towards the end of the video

[Mobbarley1000]

@Chevy67chelios

music sounds better with you by stardust. might be a remix

[underdogs247]

Fuck Dan Hardy, learn to wrestle or go back to the UK and fight cans.

[gasman8402]

Everything he said was spot on.. Those people who are saying lay and pray obviously don't know what that means, he stayed busy and tried to finish lay and pray is when the guy gets the takedown and dosen't try to advance or finish. If you don't like the wrestling/Bjj part of MMA your watching the wrong sport I believe your looking for K1 or Boxing.

[Fazotronic]

@gasman8402 he stayed busy? hahahahahahaha

[stylezNout]

too many hardy cock riders, doesn't GSP say he's going to finish fights but never does? Yet I don't see this kind of bitching about GSP

[d3rfliw]

rumble should fight at LHW, not WW... for god's sake he walks around at 225

[MrFredFreeze]

@d3rfliw Rumble loves you.

[gunfighterdrummer]

@d3rfliw i think it should be 185. if he can make 170 killing himself, 185 would just be regular hard-work training to that weight class.

in LHW he's just another 205. even if he's powerful and very athletic, he's not going to have his way with guys like Bader, Phil wonderful, Jones, which are more athletic in my opinion.

[JustOneMorgan]

@d3rfliw Walks around at 225 when he puts on tons of weight and isn't training. He weighed 195 the night of the fight for Hardy. Rampage blows up to 250 and loses 30 lbs before making a cut to 205 for a fight. You're defining walk around weight wrong.

[woolwable]

@d3rfliw They should weigh fighters the night of the fight

[apocalypse123]

@d3rfliw Rumble's moving up to middleweight to fight Nate Marquardt on UFC Live 4. Should be interesting.

[MrNegativity]

Absolutely agree with Johnson. He exploited Dan Hardy's number one weakness and made him look like a fool. And he was going for submissions, you guys forget that? Did you also forget how Anthony Johnson knocked him down with a head kick? Dan Hardy is fucking garbage.

[Kayer3]

we need a rule like cro cop and wanderlei's fight in Pride otherwise we're gonna see a lotta lay n pray. nothing bad to say about Johnson ... i just don't like to see lay'n'pray and if stuff like that is going to happen in mma then ... man ... im going back to nba.com haha

[toxicburn]

@Kayer3 what rule are you talking about?

[Kayer3]

@toxicburn like they couldnt spend more than 25 seconds on the ground ... something like that im not sure ill google it

[h31sman]

Don't say something you won't do. It makes you look like a punk; a lot of fans don't care about the wrestling, it's that he made a promise not to. I agree with what he said about fighting your strengths, buy say you're going to go in & pin him down, the fans will respect you more. P.S. If my weakness is wrestling won't he just shoot on me instead of throwing an uppercut?

[narg]

fuck you Rumble

[svinoBorsh1Ru]

@narg fuck you narg

@narg fuck you ill take your ass down to

[narg]

@uarty they already fought. Kos beat him. Actually he dominated him.

[unabomberman]

And I thought they were friends...oh, well, who cares.

[WSW55]

AJ fought a smart fight (unlike Dan Hardy). :-)

[semjb]

@1PaulKennedy

haha.

but Rumble would kick your ass though

[415balla]

Rumble is the best there is, the best there was, and the best there ever will be

[IamHaddy]

@415balla plz don't disrespct Hart

[1fightmagnet]

Good Job A.J., glad to see you back in the Mix again.

[blublebluble]

Is it me or did he seem to get closer and closer to the camera? Also, i don't really mind that he wrestled, i just wanna see him face top competition.

[MclarryOtto]

What a joke. I actually liked Johnson before the fight, and when he lied about standing, I lost respect

[chilly162]

@MclarryOtto who cares. If you actually got in the cage and fought maybe someone would respect your opinion. Until then, shut your keyboard warrior mouth. Johnson probably would have beaten him on the feet anyway but you attack your opponents weaknesses. Thats common sense. Maybe the brits need to learn how to wrestle. Hardy is just another over rated brit. Just like Daley, Hathaway, and Pillow hands.
