"As far as saying I’m not a martial artist… Because he walks out in the Octagon in his pajamas he’s a martial artist and I’m not? He knows nothing about me… I’ve been doing martial arts my whole life. I’ll brawl… but I think about what I’m doing. I’m a cerebral fighter.... Martial arts is about going to war… and it’s about messing people up. And that’s what I’m going to do.... My workout is the winning formula. You can't put muscles here (pointing to his face). And that's all I'm aiming for... He can jump higher than me. He can lift trucks. It makes no different to me. When I connect on his chin he can lift all he wants… he's still going down."

-- Number one welterweight contender, Dan Hardy, is not impressed with the athleticism and walkout gear of the reigning 170-pound champion, Georges St. Pierre. "The Outlaw" is only concerned with punching "Rush" in the face several times, which apparently all the muscles and God-given athletic ability in the world can't stop from hurting. Of course, Hardy has to remain upright to execute his gameplan, which is a rather daunting task when it comes to the crafty Canadian. Will Hardy find an opening, drop one on the button and put St. Pierre down for a nappy before he gets to put his jammies back on or is he simply talking a better game than what we will see at UFC 111 on March 27?

The latest trash talk for you care of Dan Hardy.

I really hope GSP finishes that guy...Early. I wonder if hardy is completely looking passed GSP striking? If he does, that could leave a huge opening for a head kick, or something.

Is this going to turn into ONE MORE OF THOSE Hardy has no chance thread?????

[Xanatos]

yes, yes it is.

I happen to like some Hardy's humorous jabs. As far as his chances, they are slim, but not impossible. We will only know when he gets out there. He is smarter than he looks, which can be dangerous. Unfortunately, pajama man is very dangerous.

This is all coming from a guy who looks like he just came out of The Warriors eh.

And yup, Hardy doesn't have a whore's chance in heaven.

[mattc25]

Have a look at these 3 clips where Dan is interviewed by UK Media. Totally different character to what his "trash talk " portrays. He's an intelligent guy and anything he is saying to the MMA press is to evoke opinion and build hype.

Dan Hardy is smart and knows how to hype a fight. He knows the UFC is gaining more and more mainstream fans everyday and they are will all be hoping for a stand up rock em sock em style fight and that's what Hardy is telling them they are going to get (whether that's his game plan or not).

Let's not forget Hardy does have a legit ground game under Eddie Bravo.

Anybody find it a little strange that GSP has been training with Renzo Gracie and Dan Hardy has been training with Matt Serra who
just happens to be one of Renzo's students ?? ( I might be wrong but wasn't Serra the first American to be given a black belt by Renzo ??).
