Former number one welterweight contender Dan “The Outlaw” Hardy has had a tough 2010 culminating with a knockout loss to Carlos Condit in Saturday’s UFC 120 co-main event. The defeat marked the second loss in the past year for the Brit after losing a unanimous decision to welterweight champ Georges St-Pierre at UFC 111.
During the post-fight press conference for UFC 120, Hardy talked about the loss and going back to the drawing board for his next fight.
“I did envision at some point taking the fight to the floor. I just didn’t envision going there on my own, like what happened…I can remember parts of it. I also remember my coach having a word with me on the way to the hospital saying I wasn’t putting my combinations together and stuff like that. I got caught. That’s why it’s a sport. It was a good punch…Losing is, in my opinion, the worst feeling in the world. I’m sure in the rest of my life I’ll come across worse things, but it’s right up there with the worst. [The crowd support] softens the blow a little bit – pardon the pun.”
