Does Dan Hardy still deserve to be in the UFC? What does this say about the company that only employs 'the best in the world'? Ben Cartlidge shares his thoughts here: http://www.yourmma.tv/news/details.asp/id/1674/dan-hardy-war-paint-in-black-and-white.htm What do you guys think?
so if you look like the typical ufc meathead with tats and a mohawk there is more chance of you not being cut, makes me sick
Why would they cut Dan Hardy when he has such a huge following. Zuffa are here to make money at the end of the day - if midget MMA was a huge PPV draw they would show that. Dan Hardy has such a huge UK/Europe following within the MMA World they would be silly to cut him.
There are alot of fighters that are never going to win a title or will always come short against top opposition. THey are draws because of their names and styles. If hardy is in exciting fights people are going to want to see him and just because he cant cut the mustard at the top doenst mean he should be cut. Its an entertainment sport we want to see excitement as well as whos the best. Also if we didnt have these B/ C level guys the lads coming up would have to jump up from bums to elite level fighters and probably struggle.
I like Hardy, I think cutting fighters after 3 losses can be tough with the way they match them sometimes but 4 losses against lowering level of opposition means it is time for him to go back to the smaller shows before stepping back up. Where does Hardy fit into the picture at the moment? He simply doesn't. He is no longer considered a decent striker, a chin and no one respects his grappling. Dan Hardy does seem to have power but you shouldn't be in the UFC if thats all you've got.
yea agreed bro thats why WWE AND UFC need to fuse together the **** is ridiculous i like K1 AND BOXING and now ex-fan of MMA because of all the bull**** that goes on in the MMA community and world, especially ZUFFA.
Hardy is entertaining. If they cut every fighter who has a couple of losses they'll run out of fighters pretty quickly.
Hardy went 4-0 in the UFC then 0-4. One more go is fair. Also everybody who has beat Dan is still undefeated post Dan Hardy.
I hate his mohawk too and I'm no particular fan of Hardy fullstop. But you need to have some individuality out there to keep things interesting.
He's been fighting a level opponents to be honest. Maybe put him on the prelims for 1 or 2 fights than assess from there.
