Hardy: 'I Wasn't Overwhelmed'
At UFC 111 in Newark, N.J., Dan Hardy went five rounds with welterweight kingpin Georges St. Pierre, losing a unanimous verdict. After the loss, Sherdog.com caught up with the Nottingham native to discuss his unsuccessful title challenge.
Hardy assesses his performance against the UFC welterweight champion, and discusses the particularly vicious armbar and kimura that he escaped in the bout. “The Outlaw” also discusses St. Pierre's future, and whether or not he feels any UFC welterweights have a viable chance to wrest the title from “Rush.”
Hardy also discusses whether he thinks his performance earned him the respect of his critical 170-pound peers, the level of fame the high-profile fight has afforded him, and how that will impact his infamous trash talking in the future.
