UFC 111 Main Event Breakdown: Georges St. Pierre vs. Dan Hardy (3/27/2010 10:51:00 AM)
by Mike ChiappettaFiled under: UFC, NewsNEWARK, N.J. -- The numbers may say otherwise, but if Dan Hardy finds a way to beat Georges St. Pierre at UFC 111, it will be the biggest MMA championship upset of all time. Bigger than Matt Serra beating GSP? Yes. While Serra was a bigger underdog on paper than Hardy is now, at least we knew then that Serra had the ability to go bell-to-bell with an elite-level fighter like B.J. Penn. We also knew he was good enough to knock down the usually iron-jawed Karo Parisyan, had durability, a strong ground game and a record of being a fierce competitor.Hardy has nothing to apologize for on his resume, but you can't find anyone on his record that has ever been considered elite. His best win is over Mike Swick, and while that's a solid victory, it is a long leap from Swick to St. Pierre. In fact, there is no measurable way in which you could give Hardy an overall edge against St. Pierre.Does that mean he can't win? Of course not. This sport has too many v

Despite massive favorite status, UFC 111's St-Pierre isn't underestimating Hardy (3/17/2010 7:35:00 PM)
Five-time Ultimate Fighting Championship welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre wants to right a career wrong when he meets Dan Hardy at UFC 111. The last time St-Pierre faced a massive underdog, he lost his title. He bought into his own hype and underestimated "The Ultimate Fighter 4" winner Matt Serra. He ended up on the wrong end of a TKO at UFC 69. Not this time. Or so he says.
Dan Hardy Embraces Underdog Role, Spotlight in UFC 111 Title Bout (3/17/2010 10:41:00 AM)
by Mike ChiappettaFiled under: UFC, News"The Outlaw" isn't so counterculture that he can't bathe in the love of the fans. In fact, Dan Hardy revels in being the center of attention, which isn't an altogether unusual trait among men who fight in a cage for a living. Just last weekend, Hardy walked into a Long Island, N.Y., bar to watch the Manny Pacquiao-Joshua Clottey boxing event when he came face-to-face with a UFC poster, adorned with his own Mohawked mug. "It's just awesome," he said. "It's fantastic. I just love the spotlight. I'm a bit big-headed like that, I guess."Dan Hardy Embraces Underdog Role, Spotlight in UFC 111 Title Bout originally appeared on MMA Fighting on Wed, 17 Mar 2010 10:41:00 EST .

To hype the second installment of "UFC Primetime: St-Pierre vs. Hardy," which debuts tonight at 10pm, Spike TV has released quotes from welterweight champ Georges St-Pierre and challenger Dan Hardy, who meet at UFC 111 on March 27, as they continue their war of words.

The big story is Hardy training with Matt Serra, the last man to beat St. Pierre, but I was also interested in something one of St. Pierre's training partners, Nate Marquardt, said.Analyzing the Hardy-St. Pierre match-up, Marquardt said the talent gap between the two is so great that at some point in the fight, Hardy is going to get mentally discouraged because he's being so thoroughly dominated physically.Marquardt: Hardy 'In Over His Head' vs. GSP originally appeared on MMA Fighting on Tue, 16 Mar 2010 19:15:00 EST .

Georges St. Pierre Unfazed by Dan Hardy-Matt Serra Training Partnership (3/16/2010 3:24:00 PM)
by Mike ChiappettaFiled under: UFC, NewsHeading into his UFC 111 welterweight title showdown, champion Georges St. Pierre finds himself in a similar position as he was in April 2007, an overwhelming favorite. On that day, however, St. Pierre became the victim of MMA's Buster Douglas moment, as he was knocked out by huge underdog Matt Serra. So with British challenger Dan Hardy facing mountainous odds (St. Pierre's as much as an 8:1 favorite) in their upcoming March 27 bout, perhaps it shouldn't come as a surprise that Hardy has recruited Serra into his camp. Hardy arrived early to the east coast to settle in and begin final preparations for their Newark, N.J. bout, and in the days since, has been training with Serra. But the champ says it's not a cause for concern.Georges St. Pierre Unfazed by Dan Hardy-Matt Serra Training Partnership originally appeared on MMA Fighting on Tue, 16 Mar 2010 15:24:00 EST .

If you’re stepping into the Octagon against UFC welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre, you better be comfortable with the term “underdog.” Dan Hardy, who meets the French Canadian sensation at UFC 111 on March 27 in Newark, N.J., appears to have not only welcomed his role as longshot -- he’s derived inspiration from it.

On Friday's edition of the SiriusXM Fight Club, "The Outlaw" was asked about his thoughts on the calendar, which features a photo of a shirtless GSP wearing jeans on the beach, and not surprisingly, Hardy didn't think too highly of it.Dan Hardy Is Not Impressed With Georges St-Pierre's Calendar originally appeared on MMA Fighting on Mon, 15 Mar 2010 08:00:00 EST .

In fact, Hardy said the only surprise will be finding out what round he knocks out his Canadian foe, and "The Outlaw" is just fine with letting St-Pierre choose his own fate.

Georges St-Pierre Believes Dan Hardy Will Be His Most Dangerous Opponent (1/8/2010 11:28:00 AM)
by Ariel HelwaniFiled under: UFC, VideosThe build up to Georges St-Pierre's upcoming title defense against Dan Hardy at UFC 111 reminds the champion a lot of his fight against Matt Serra at UFC 69. Prior to that fight, most believed it was a foregone conclusion that St-Pierre would easily defeat Serra. Of course, the exact opposite happened.So that's why St-Pierre refuses to buy into the theory that Hardy has no chance of defeating him, and that's why he told a media gathering last week in Las Vegas that Hardy will be his most dangerous opponent to date. GSP has used that line before, but when you listen to him talk about Hardy, you get the sense that he has as much to prove in this fight as "The Outlaw" does.

MMA Top 10 Welterweights: Josh Koscheck is Right, Sort Of (11/23/2009 8:16:00 AM)
Filed under: UFC, Strikeforce, Rankings, WelterweightsAfter his UFC 106 victory over Anthony Johnson, Josh Koscheck proclaimed that he -- not Dan Hardy -- deserves to be the next contender to Georges St Pierre's title.As you'll see in my rankings of the Top 10 welterweights in MMA, I think Koscheck is right -- sort of. I believe Koscheck deserves to be higher-ranked than Hardy, but I also think Hardy is more deserving of a shot at St. Pierre. The reason is simple: Koscheck has already had a fight with GSP, losing to him at UFC 74. Hardy hasn't gotten his chance yet.So because I'd like to see GSP get a new challenge, I think Hardy is a fitting No. 1 contender, even though Hardy is just below Koscheck on the list below.
