does Micheal Bisping ring a bell???:rofl Didnt you say the exact thing about Bisping\Hendo and looked what happened?
lmao, to be fair, even if he cant hang with him, gsp will just take him down and pound on hmi until a ko/Tko come into play one of the easier victores for GSP imo... maybe his easiest... ive seen nothing overly impressive in hardy, his striking is very very good... but we all know how gsp handles people like that, ala my prediction
Considering the last person to do it was Koscheck at UFC 74. (And that was BARELY) So, yeah, I'd probably have a heart attack.
x2 I love the fact that he's talking **** to GSP, but I can't see this going anyway except a whole lot of GSP ground and pound.
well that means hardy will be getting ko'd at the 4 minute mark of round 1.... no but seriously it will probably be a stoppage around rnd 3/4 for GSP after the take down GnP rinse/repeat strategy.
Hardy is a striker and GSP is chinny so he has a chance, punchers chance only though - easily 80-20 in GSP's favour
How good is Hardy's takedown defence? Reason i'm asking is if he can atleast hold GSP off on a few to give himself a slim chance. There is no way Hardy wins if it gets past the first round.
I'll spell this out for you, because it's really amusing if you think about it... Marcus Davis. A converted professional boxer was able to take Hardy down. Marcus Davis. A man with no wrestling training prior to his MMA career. A man who has no significant wrestling skills whatsoever! Now, let's look at the takedowns and takedown defense of Georges St. Pierre: 4 time All-American NCAA wrestler Matt Hughes at UFC 65 and UFC 79 could not take George down. Not even close. 2x NCAA National Wrestling Champion (The best amateur wrestler in the freakin' COUNTRY!) Josh Koscheck got ONE takedown by a **** hair on Georges. Jon Fitch an All-American wrestler could not take George down. Now, let's look at who Georges has taken down with EASE. Matt Hughes. Many times. (Simply need review what I've said about Hughes already) Josh Koscheck. Again, this man is a TWO TIME NATIONAL WRESTLING CHAMPION was taken down by GSP at least 3 times! Jon Fitch, again, an All-American wrestler was taken down by Georges at least half a dozen times. B.J. Penn! Who has vaunted takedown defense, was taken down with what seemed like minimal effort! Thiago Alves, who couldn't even be taken down by the National Champion Josh Koscheck in their 3 round fight, was taken down over 10 times by Georges St. Pierre! But, yeah, Hardy who got taken down by Marcus Davis is going to stop the takedowns of Georges St. Pierre. Sure...and I'm going to marry Jordana Brewster.
Round the time that Rich Franklin beats Anderson Silva. Of course Hardy has a chance... everyone has a chance especially when they can bang like Hardy. However, to sit and act like you know Hardy is going to win this fight isn't being realistic.
