UFC 111 preview: Hardy looks for historic UFC upset, Mir focused on Carwin, not Lesnar

Dan Hardy looks for perhaps the second-biggest upset in UFC history at UFC 111. Opponent and UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre looks to avoid the dubious honor of being on the wrong end of such another upset.

Frank Mir, meanwhile, says he is no longer worried about exacting revenge on UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar. Instead, all of his focus is on opponent Shane Carwin, who looks to add an interim heavyweight title to his perfect MMA record.

In MMAjunkie.com’s official event preview, Steven Marrocco talks to the four competitors and breaks down the UFC 111 co-headliners, which take place Saturday at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J.
