What did you all think of Heather Hardy's performance? When she got mounted and started kicking her legs around it reminded me of Nobuhiko Takada when he was taken down by Rickson Gracie at Pride 1. No clue what to do at all.
 
The only highlight was her slip
 
I think it's sad that she's actually been on the main card before.
 
What's wrong with getting destroyed by a 1-4 fighter, LOL? Stick with boxing or some venue where she can play up her sexy-librarian-with-glasses looks. She's just another joke in WMMA.
 
i think she looked like a boxer who got into mma fight - helpless. big question is what people who trained her for the last two years were doing?
mayby it's time to switch camps and move to Jackson-Wink? i herd it helps.

She hasn't been constantly training she stopped for boxing then started again before this fight.

She knows she's green it's up to her to seriously put in the work to get better.
 
Turner was just too tall and lanky for Hardy (given her lack of ground experience) to do much in full mount. It looked like the 8th Grader beating up on the 6th grader for their lunch money.

Where does Hardy go from here? Perhaps a match-up with Larkyn "Hooters" Dasch. Unless Bellator decides to feed her to Valerie Loureda.

Turner looks like she'd be a good fit for a match with Leslie Smith. They both have that tall, lankly frame.
 
SHe's terrible. She aint going anywhere in mma and it seems like she's tired of boxing.
 
Hardy was dreadful and laughable. Her boxing actually looked like shit, too.

On the lone bright side, I would rather suffer through 4 minutes of that joke of a fight with a decisive stoppage then suffer through 15 minutes of point fighting that is a typical UFC WMMA contest.
 
I get that she’s been boxing forever, but that was some awful jiujitsu.
 
Who's training these people? And are they really monitoring them? MMA, 1) Needs to have take down defense 2) Needs to know the basics of stand up grappling 3) Needs to know what to do once taken down 4) Repeat all of those over and over again 5) Needs to know how to check leg kicks 6) Needs to know how to see head kicks coming and flying knees 7) Repeat all of those over and over again 8) Keep learning MMA defense 9) Then learn some MMA offense after all of the defensive things first.
 
The guy who is training her is also her boyfriend

Not sure if he has an MMA background or Boxing
 
I said that after her first fight. There was nothing there. People were excited about her winning her debut and I was trying to tell them to look at what she actually did. Nothing there.
 
At least Takada lost to Rickson. How many prowrestlers would know what to do on the ground against Rickson in 1997?

Heather's opponent didn't look impressive either. So that doesn't actually help Heather's situation. I don't remember when seeing so bad MMA bout. I think you can find better fighters on regional amateur orgs. Those both looked like complete soccer moms.
 
Here's my take on the fight:

Actually, Taylor was 3-5 going into the fight.
 
Her opponent was landing some devastating ground and pound shots. You could hear those shots in the crowd.
