noticed the tap too Scud.

People are questioning how Dan Hardy got a title shot... after his weakness was exposed in a fight.. 12 months AFTER he got his title shot. This same weakness which had NOT been exposed en route to his title shot.

Some people on this board need to get a grip sometimes.

Lets not forget he went 5 rounds with GSP aswell and had some amazing submission defence during the fight, I dont know how he didnt dislocate his shoulder at one stage. Not a huge fan of his but hes got ability.

He didnt really fight any decent wrestlers on the way to the title shot though.His toughest opponents were Swick & Davis.

exactly! So what if he didn't fight any decent wrestlers, he can only fight who is put in front of him and how they choose to fight. He deserved his title shot at GSP irrespective of wrestling ability.

No, you confused "Dan didn't attempt to be offensive" with "Dan hasn't got the technique to be offensive". The latter being the point I was making.

Ah I see. Maybe you should've put that in your original post to avoid confusion

. I agree, his technique was half assed but he was offensive.

Zero-Cool · 27-03-2011 4:55am

Davis has to get KO'd soon throwing them kicks

scudzilla · 27-03-2011 4:55am

Thing is Hardy will be kept on cos he's a possible huge draw commercially. The Brits love him, he's different wit his MoHawk.

I think he'll fight next in the UK and the other possible Dublin card, and each time he'll be fed cans, then he'll fight a contendor and get his arse handed to him, then back to the cans.

Sound like anyone elses career? Bisping maybe?

I wouldnt say that. Theres plenty of better welterweights and there were plenty better at that time too. His mouth got him that title shot more then his ability

riffmongous · 27-03-2011 4:57am

Great job form Nog on the takedowns. I want to see the judges give some credit to takedown defence, its total bs the way it is at the moment

Exactly, my point is that Dan Hardy was never challenged by a good wrestler en route to his title shot. Why should that count against him that none of them saw the weakness and built a solid game plan around it. A fighter must not have spent X time in this position and suffered Y amount of damage in that position.

Bones was never on his back with a good wrestler either, can't believe he got a title shot :rolleyes:

how you been Ax

?

I did. I said he can do nothing on the ground. I didn't say he isn't trying to do something on the ground. Read posts you're responding to if you want to avoid confusion.

i said it was a terrible rd with no action or much effort in it,

if that doesnt suit ya, im very sorry, ty dear, carry on.

Axwell · 27-03-2011 4:58am

Little Nog is gonna catch one of these kicks with his hand and knock the head off Davis if he isnt careful..Davis looks tired already aswell Nog is just pushing him off

four straight wins in the UFC against decent opposition AND Koscheck / Daly still had to fight for TUF coach places..Hardy was next in line dude.

Bad end of the round for nog, 1 apiece?

Zero-Cool · 27-03-2011 5:03am

axwell and bellybuster should get in the cage :P

back on topic, I can't believe Nog couldn't finish Davis. Davis really turned it around when he got Nog on the ground!

Wont matter when he drops Davis in this one

(hopefully)

Raze_them_all · 27-03-2011 5:05am

nog needs to push it here after that take down

Professey Chin · 27-03-2011 5:06am

Looking very bad for Nog

Yeah or else its gonna turn into a whole rd of love making, bull****

Zero-Cool · 27-03-2011 5:06am

you see nog catching the kick and the feeble punch attempt? nog is gassed, davis deserves to win this.

Raze_them_all · 27-03-2011 5:08am

Yup Davis deseved it, as the commentators said , switching to the single won it for him.

2 rounds to one in my books

Oh_Noes · 27-03-2011 5:08am

Disappointed with Davis in this really, I can't see him standing out much from the crowd at the upper level of the LHW division.

Axwell · 27-03-2011 5:09am

Deserved win by Davis, once he got Nog to the ground he controlled it the way he wanted it to go and wore Nog out, he had nothing in the tank for the 3rd round.

SDTimeout · 27-03-2011 5:09am

Draw i think, if not Davis edging by decision.

didn't think it was all 3 in fairness!

Zero-Cool · 27-03-2011 5:09am

I don't think Davis can stand with the big boys at all, goes to proove Nog is over rated. Really bad loss for him! Davis was handing him a KO with those kicks and Nog couldn't finish it.

Apart from when he had the back in the second he really didn't do much from top

GTR63 · 27-03-2011 5:11am

Pretty Dull main event if i'm honest.Davis is a good wrestler but looks very shaky on his feet.

riffmongous · 27-03-2011 5:11am

Disappointing fight I thought, neither guy really offered much. 30-27 is a bit crap, 29-28 I thought

Raze_them_all · 27-03-2011 5:12am

On the upside pretty obvious who submission of the night is going to

Axwell · 27-03-2011 5:13am

Decent event overall thought, especially for a fight night event. Plus obviously the savage twister earlier on. Looking forward to seeing the new contenders on Wed night in TUF although think Lesnar and Junior will be boring enough as coaches and there wont be much banter.

I thought there was more action going on here in this thread than in some of those fights tonight

Zero-Cool · 27-03-2011 5:23am

shocked all 3 judges gave 30-27, Like Riff said, I had 29-28 easy.

whats next for Lil Nog!

Oh, and can someone post a vid or gif of that twister if they find it? I missed it by 10 seconds!

ah must be my work computer is missing flash or something. It's not showing up.

peejay1986 · 27-03-2011 5:52am

Don't like seeing this awful run Hardy's going through, but it was coming. He's too one dimensional. Given his small physical stature he really should be working on his ground game. He's not as strong as the majority of fighters out there so he needs to be quicker on the ground. At the minute he's just embarrassing when he goes to the ground.

It'll be interesting to see what happens him next. As someone already said, his a big fighter commercially for UFC, but he can't survive on that forever.

Oh and that twister submission? Epic!

Zero-Cool · 27-03-2011 6:00am

Man that looked...uncomfortable to say the least!

scudzilla · 27-03-2011 6:02am

Oh_Noes · 27-03-2011 6:37am

It's a frightening submission :pac:

When someone has an armbar or a leglock or a choke you know that if someone doesn't tap or if the ref doesn't stop it then you're going to have broken limbs or be put to sleep.

What happens when you're in a twister and there's no ref stoppage or tapout? Your spine twists and breaks? Aaaaaaaaargh

bjj-fighter · 28-03-2011 12:29am

I cant believe DeMarques Johnson tapped to strikes! So many people would kill to fight in the UFC and he taps to strikes!
:rolleyes:

considering the onslaught lasted for 3 minutes before he tapped and he had taken the fight at short notice(*) i think thats an unfair comment to be honest!!
(*He looked wrecked even coming out for the second round)

It puts pressure on the neck, so that's were the damage would be done I'd say

Puts a lot of pressure on the spine too. The hips push the spine in the opposite direction and it doesnt feel nice

jayteecork · 29-03-2011 7:09am

That twister was the second coolest thing I've seen in MMA lately after Pettis' kick off the cage.
