Overall, his post-fight press conference went as expected. Him trying to be humble, apologize to his opponent, take responsibility, etc. However, there were a couple of times where he snuck in his true feelings about how he compares to other fighters and people in general. Here's a few quotes:
1:03
Reporter: What kind of learning lessons do you take away from this? How do you digest it?
Hardy: You don't. It's terrible. I'm not one of the regular guys. I was built to do this, I was made to do this.
2:10
Hardy: All I can think of is how I let these people down man. It may not mean much to you regular people. It means a lot to me.
7:07
Hardy: I am not like you. I'm not like anybody else.
He was well on his way to losing against Crowder. He didn't conserve his energy well, and he was running out of gas, and Crowder is not anywhere near the level of competition that he will face if he progresses. Yet, he talks like he is a superhuman, on a different level than everyone else. Clearly, he is not. His athleticism is impressive, but nomoreso than guys like Ngannou, Blaydes, Alistair, etc. He might win a couple of fights with overwhelming KOs, but he will lose against anyone in the top 10. I hope he's ready for a rude awakening in the future.
