Ouch. Condit is a bad man. The WEC Welterweight Champion becomes a UFC contender. I like the idea of Condit getting a rematch with the winner of Shields-Kampmann. I love it when guys get beat at their own game and Hardy was out classed standing. Meanwhile Dana has to be shitting. Two of his best British fighters get beaten badly in front of the home crowd. Good thing Bisping looked good.
Bisping is an odd duck. He throws lots of combinations and he has good stamina. Then he takes one on the chin and starts running all over the place, usually running straight towards the other guy's power hand. His power isn't anything to write home about, and his chin is mediocre at best but he manages to win. He's the most energetic boring fighter I've ever seen.
I 'd when Hardy got KTFO in front of his home crowd, it was great. All the smack talk, hype and got his a$$ whipped at his own game.
Yep, his left hook was long and just behind Condit's head. Condit's left DYNAMITED off of Hardy's jaw. One thing that was funny to me, the followup right hand on the ground smashed Hardy's mohawk to Hardy's right, and then the last left hook smashed it in the other direction. He ran his mouth a bit too much and it was sweet seeing him get bombed out!
Decent Show Last Night... U Could Sense that SOMEBODY was Getting KO'ed Early in that Hardy Fight...Both Guys were AMPED Up, Didn't Bother w/the Glove Touching & Came Out Throwing BOMBS...Beautiful Left Hook by Condit...When Asked "What Happened", by Joe Rogan, Hardy Said, "I Got Punched in the Face"... :laugh11:...REED Hasn't Been THAT Amused by the LOSING Fighter Since Forrest Griffin... Michael Bisping's Entrance was Pretty Cool...The Song, his Energy, the Crowd Singing Along, GREAT Shit...REED's Always Loved British BOXING Crowds & It Seems their Passion has Carried Over to MMA... IN the Cage, Bisping Fights like a Guy that KNOWS his Chin SUCKS...Like Buddy Said, he RUNS when he's Tagged OR he Cowers into a Ball & Initiates a Clinch...Bisping Does Throw a Good Amount of Kicks & Punches Though...REED Sees Bisping as a Gatekeeper Type, but he'll NEVER EVER B a UFC Champion.... REED:mj:
I was disappointed in the Hardy loss. As much shit as he talks, I have grown to like his style. His ring entrances have to be one of the best in the game. Pure energy. He was even classy after getting KTFO in front of his own crowd. Always a fan of fighters who come to "bring it".
Some post fight words from Dan Hardy On his medical state after the fight: "They photographed my brain, and they said there's one rat dancing around in there somewhere, so I'm good." On his strategy vs. what happened: "I did envision at some point taking the fight to the floor. I just didn't envision going there on my own, like what happened." On what went wrong: "I'm going to have to go back and watch the fight. I can remember parts of it. I also remember my coach having a word with me on the way to the hospital saying I wasn't putting my combinations together and stuff like that. I got caught. That's why it's a sport. It was a good punch." On the support of the fans when he got up post-fight: "It's always nice to have that support. It's a small minority that always has something negative to say regardless of what happens, but to have 16,000 fans with that support, it makes a big difference. Losing is, in my opinion, the worst feeling in the world. I'm sure in the rest of my life I'll come across worse things, but it's right up there with the worst. [The crowd support] softens the blow a little bit – pardon the pun."
I like Hardy better now, he was humble in defeat. Sometimes a cocky dude like Hardy needs that to happen to get his attitude right. Just a little shot of reality.
