Dan Hardy vs. Chris Lytle, which headlines UFC on Versus 5, is about as close as a sure thing as you can get in MMA when it comes to excitement of the fistic type.
They both love to stand and trade – Hardy because it’s his first love and because he’s admittedly less facile on the mat, and Lytle because he’s joined a cottage political campaign to keep the “fight” in the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
But there’s just no escaping the fact that UFC on Versus 5’s co-main event is far more relevant than its headliner.
