UFC 111’s Georges St-Pierre on Dan Hardy: I want to take him out as quickly as I can

While UFC welterweight title challenger Dan Hardy
continues to remain in the headlines due to ongoing verbal conflicts
with some of his past opponents, the British slugger’s date with
Georges St-Pierre at UFC 111 later this month is fast approaching.

St-Pierre, the popular French-Canadian champion, hasn’t yet found
himself as much of a target for Hardy’s famed trash talking, but that
doesn’t mean “The Outlaw” isn’t firmly in the sites of “Rush.”

“The longer a fight is, the more you can get hurt,” St-Pierre recently
told MMAjunkie.com Radio. “I want to take him
out as fast as I can and go home.”
