Dan Hardy: I'm no longer just a striker
Posted on May 24, 2012, 10:31 AM by Anton GurevichFormer 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.

War outlaw!
Bang will KO Hardy
Probably the last time you'll see Hardy in the UFC...least he's goin out with a BANG!!!!!
LOL
Duane Ludwig has one word describing what hes about to do to Hardy, BANG
Hes gonna bang Hardy, but then Hardy will bang back and sink in a rear naked choke to prove hes "evolved"
And yes Im going out on a limb here
Looks like Duane is the one who got banged huh
:)
Yeah man I like your prediction DaddyLong
Dan Hardy is into rock'n'roll he is my friend
I see Dan Hardy is tryin out his material for his next career move, next joke mr Dan standup comic Hardy
Hardy will out grapple bang to a decision and shock everyone. But it will be boring
I don't think Ludwig getting out grappled would be a surprise
Wish him luck.
Everyone says they've evolved until that first punch lands. I hope he has evolved though. Should be a fun fight to watch
Fight of the night
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.
