Just Watched the Hardy Fight

[Stagliano]

Explain that to Ben Askren!

Hardy wasn't former Bellator and One's champion with 19 pro fight before to come in the UFC, Billy.

 

[Xoleth]

Relax, it's his 2nd UFC fight.

Do you expect them to give him a top 10 opponent right away?

No, but I expect a legit opponent.
They put Bevon Lewis vs Uriah Hall for his 1st UFC fight.
Ivanov fought JDS in his 1st UFC fight
Pavlovich fought Reem
They put Walker vs some legit guys like Round 3 and Cirkunov
And other examples

They gave Hardy a guy that UFC cut after 2 losses

Some legit opponents for him
Juan Adams - 5-0
Augusto Sakai

Or some ranked guys like Tybura, Ivanov, Willis

 

[UncleChester]

Jon Jones has a disqualification loss on his record too. Gnome sane?

 

[dog y]

Rogers would prison rape Hardy.
Literally.

I believe Brett Rogers used to work at costco's tire department or something along the lines of that, Prime Rogers could put Hardy to sleep, the last guy was too scared to even throw a punch.

Crowder rematch would be sick, shaping up to be a legendary grudge match.

 

[kflo]

who would you have matched him with after his first fight?

 

[Naught2Sixty]

"The Hardy fight". Pretty loose with the word "fight" there OP. Looked more like a showcase to me.

He's no Brock Lesnar or even in the same stratosphere of ahtlete so no.

The sad part is, CM Punk.........CM Punk got a better opponent in his first pro fight........ CM Punk!
