For weeks, Carlos Condit heard the talk from Dan Hardy. It’s not something he went seeking out himself, but in this digital age of 24/7 news and social media, it came to him. Some days, Condit would log on to his Facebook page and see that his friends had posted Hardy’s most recent words. While he was never lacking for motivation, something else always seemed to pop up and provide a little extra fuel.
Always the quiet type, Condit never fired back verbally. But he did get the last and loudest word, scoring one of the great poetic revenge knockouts in recent MMA memory at UFC 120.
If you appreciate irony, you have to appreciate that the beginning of the end was authored by a crashing left hook, the punch that has come to be the calling card of Hardy.
