Dan Hardy Unlikely To Be Cut Following Third Straight Loss

Most fighters would likely be sweating following their third straight loss in the UFC but that's only the case if the main man who makes decisions isn't a fan of your performances.

That appears to be the case for Dan Hardy who lost his third straight fight to Anthony Johnson this past weekend at UFC Fight Night 24.

Following the fight at the post fight press conference UFC President Dana White offered his support of Hardy when questioned about whether or not he would be cut telling the media in attendance ""Not necessarily. We'll have to wait and see. I f*cking love that kid."

That could bode well for Hardy's chance at redemption and proving he belongs among the top UFC welterweights.

Cutting

What criteria does Dana use to determine who should be cut. If you are going to use baseball as 3 and out, then use it for everyone. I'm still upset Dana let Duffy go!

"Brits"

Putting him on facebook or spike tv sounds like a good idea from a marketing point, Hardy is very marketable to the 18-31 age group and does well to sell fights, and a stand up war between him and say Chris Lytle will bring more fans to the sport.

And I do think Dana has a soft spot for the Brits since season 3 of TUF when Ross pointon decided to man up and jump up a weight class to fight his friend and countryman Bisping, "you know what I mean". I think this was because Dana was particularily pissed at the two guys who had pussied out already potentially f'ing up the format of the show.

Personally I would like to see wrestling introduced at high school in the UK as there are not enough individual sports for kids over here, well, within the education system that is.
