Dan Hardy vs Paulo Thiago - battle of the cut

Paulo will stand with Hardy, at least at the start.

He's got faith in his boxing, and will fancy his chances after Hardy's knockout loss to Condit.

 

I hope the fight does not happen as im fan of thiago and i know they will keep hardy in anyway.
Id like to see hardy vs diaz. but there a ? with that chin now so who ever it is going to go for it

 

I think Thiago has a good chance in this fight. That guy is a nightmare, especially on his feet, he's just not the best off his back, hardy isn't going to be that kind of fighter.

 

signing a new contract dosent mean anything, todd duffe was in the middle of a 4 fight deal, only fighting 2 of then and he was released, i think gerald harris was to signed to a new fight dead and noe released, UFC is cuting really good talent, dont be surprised if strikeforce dont take advantage of this and have more talent then the ufc, Daley, Diaz, Duffe if they get him, they have a great future(as long as daley stays_

 

Cant see Thiago or Hardy being cut TBH , no matter what happens , i think Hardy is a main stay and i think Thiago will get at least 1 more fight if he loses !!!

On the fight

Hardy better train his scrambling technique because if this fight goes to ground he's knee deep in the **** !!!!

You dont slow Thiago down with good stand up alone , see Sanchez vs Thiago as proof , but if Hardy can keep the fight standing he's taking a decision home IMO :deal
