Former UFC Welterweight title challenger, Dan "The Outlaw" Hardy, spoke about his evolution and the fighter, and a new-found home with Frank Mir. Hardy also spoke about his training with Robert Drysdale, who is widely considered as one of the best Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu experts on the planet. Hardy will face Duane "Bang" Ludwig at this weekend's UFC 146 in Las Vegas, Nevada, with sights on bouncing back from a four-fight losing streak.

    I don't think Ludwig getting out grappled would be a surprise

    Everyone says they've evolved until that first punch lands. I hope he has evolved though. Should be a fun fight to watch

    Suddenly, as if by magic, Dan Hardy has become a top level ground fighter with a sick submission game and superb wrestling skills......



    I look for Hardy to take this fight to the ground IMMEDIATELY and sub Ludwig within the first minute, most likely with an Omoplata.....

    And even if he loses, he won't be cut, got to admire the guy just for that, Dan " the uncuttable " Hardy. Hope he wins in BIG FASHION.

    Don't understand why everyone backs Hardy? He is a one dimensional fighter who isn't even that good in his dimension.



    A guy so unwilling to evolve guys actually agree to stand with him to make it a decent fight (Condit and Lytle but not AJ).



    Not a fan of Hardy even though I'm British, he insults the skills of legends like Hughes while he is on a terrible 4 fight losing streak, looking abysmal in every fight.



    For his own sake I hope he has evolved as his best area is apparently his stand up even though he got dropped by AJ, KTFO by Condit and rocked numerous times by Lytle.



    Sorry I know I am being harsh but I hate guys that think they know better and don't think they have to evolve and they bash everyone else... reminds me of Rampage.
