Just won £50 on this fight with my mate. GSP is on a whole different level thaan anyother 170lb fighter currently, only Jake Shields will give him a fight imo, and that is debatable. I think the knowledgeable MMA fan new that Hardy never really had any chance.
It's very hard to lock in the RNC, especially in MMA where those gloves make it near impossible to sneak under the chin, this is probably why he was giving up his back to avoid the GNP. GSP owned Hardy in every facet of that fight including in the stand up where Hardy was outclassed by GSP's striking. Hardy's a tough dude though, lesser men would have tapped to that armbar, GSP couldn't get the leverage he needed to finish the kimura though.
Not that easy, He had Hardy's back, but what happens when you take a guys back on the ground, and they escape? They end up in dominant position, possibly in side mount. It's true though, GSP had many opportunities to commit to the choke but didn't
Hardy did nothing absolutely nothing and GSP carried him. Hardy should be ashamed of himself because he done **** all.
