Dan Hardy: Taking on Greg Jackson’s Fighters Gets Boring

When Dan Hardy steps into the Octagon to fight Carlos Condit at UFC 120 on Sunday, he’ll be facing his second straight opponent who has Greg Jackson in his corner. The last time the fight didn’t go so well, and Hardy is concerned that it won’t go so well this time, either.

That’s not to say that Hardy, who’s coming off a loss to UFC welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre in March, is worried about losing to Condit — he says he’s confident that he’ll win. But Hardy says he doesn’t like the fighting style that Jackson teaches, and he believes Jackson-trained fighters exercise far too much caution in the cage.

The UK Telegraph posted part two of its video interview with Dan Hardy this week, leading up to Hardy’s clash with Carlos Condit on Saturday night at UFC 120. Though the video is titled “My secret weapon after losing to Georges St. Pierre,” Hardy doesn’t mention anything about GSP or his secret weapon here. Hopefully, that’s coming in part three. What Hardy does do in the above video is a bit of clarification about what he meant to say while he was ripping into wrestlers in a recent column he penned for his hometown newspaper. Once again – as we’ve already discussed —  Hardy seems far more sensible when you hear the words come out of his mouth than when your read them on paper.

The five-time UFC vet explains that even though he actually wrote the words, “the problem is there’s beginning to be too much wrestling in UFC Octagon,” he didn’t mean it as an insult to wrestlers, per se. Like, what would give you that idea?

Five days before his UFC 120 showdown with Dan Hardy, welterweight contender Carlos Condit swung through New York yesterday for a media tour, which ended with an evening workout session at The Wat. After Kru Phil Nurse put him through a few grueling rounds of pad work, Carlos was kind enough to give us a brief interview, in which he discussed his matchup with the Outlaw this weekend, his dramatic win over Rory MacDonald at UFC 115, and why he’s become a loyal follower of Greg Jackson. Some highlights…

In his two years in the UFC, Dan Hardy has developed a reputation for enjoying the standup battle. He’s knocked out Rory Markham, dropped Marcus Davis, and the threat of his left hook was enough to make Georges St. Pierre design a game plan that put Hardy on his back nine times for a total of nearly 21 minutes of their 25-minute title fight at UFC 111.

Since then, Hardy’s had over five months to address his striking heavy game, and now, he’s saying that while he’ll always love a good brawl, he’s a little more layered than he once was, and that his UFC 120 opponent Carlos Condit may well be the victim of a newfound dimension.
