SEATTLE — Here’s how you know Dan Hardy and Anthony Johnson are buds: Hardy can make fun of Johnson’s weight, and Johnson can make fun of Hardy’s face, and yet at the end of the day they can still smile and agree to try and knock each other unconscious like gentlemen.
“We’re cool,” Johnson said of Hardy during Thursday’s UFC Fight Night 24 workouts. “I saw him last night. I came in and got a workout in and I saw some dude, ugly with crazy hair, and I started squinting. I was like, oh sh-t, that’s Dan. I came up to him and gave him a hug, chatted for like a minute, and said our goodbyes and split. I mean, we’re friends right now, but obviously we have something to do. We’re not here to chit-chat; we’re here to handle business. But we still show each other that mutual respect.”
