(Props: MMA Mania)
Remember when Rory Markham told us that he thinks he’s the hardest hitter in the UFC’s welterweight division? Well, his opponent at UFC 95, Dan Hardy, doesn’t seem too worried about it in this video from the UK’s Telegraph. He doesn’t plan on letting Markham hit him with any clean shots. Which, as game plans go, is a pretty good one. Why doesn’t every fighter just do that?
Talking with The Mirror, Hardy was slightly less gentlemanly with regards to Markham:
“Markham is an aggressive fighter and he likes to brawl but he has said I have no power. When I drop him with my jab he’ll realise the power I have.”
Taking a moment to reflect, Hardy added: “Maybe I’ll just use my right hand and put him to sleep faster.”
“If I close my eyes and throw a punch in any direction I reckon I’ll hit him in the face.”
Seriously, Dan? Any direction?
Anybody else seeing Fight of the Night potential in this one? As much as we all like to bitch about how weak the UFC cards are when they go across the pond, this fight could make up for the lack of a meaningful main event. I just don’t see how this one ends without someone asleep on the mat.
So who you got? Will Hardy be celebrating at the pub with some fish and chips after this one, or will we get to see Markham knock another dude out cold and then walk away like he’s a little disappointed it ended so quickly?

HOnestly Hardy, who do you think you are?? Seth Petruzelli? Only Karate Masters can drop someone so tough with just a jab.... I've seen Markham get his face punched in and still come back and knock dudes out so good luck to Hardy on this one.... 2nd round ko for Markham
Fri, 02/13/09 - 10:54
I would like to side with my limey bretheren on this, but i'm going with Markham via decision.
Fri, 02/13/09 - 11:04
I really hope Dan Hardy underestimates Rory's power and just stands in the pocket to trade. Rory by vicious KO, early first round,
Fri, 02/13/09 - 11:06
Hardy is going to get Knocked the F**K out!! I cant wait to see this. I was in Vegas watching Markham when he gave the best kncokout I have ever seen. I am sure Rory will deliever again. Hardy seems like a douche
Fri, 02/13/09 - 11:10
I was in Vegas for that as well. And maybe someone should let Hardy know he might want to be maybe a little concerned about Rory's power.

Fri, 02/13/09 - 11:27

IF you want to hype this fight more please talk like it's more than your last goddamn birthday.

My penis hums with the power of a thousand suns.

Ouch That Hurts I'm with you.

"Dan Hardy not concerned with Markham's power" Armfarmer not concerned with Markham's power, Markham, or Dan Hardy.
Fri, 02/13/09 - 11:59
Markham is going to knock this fool out. I hope Rory shaves that douche bags head while's he's out unconscious with a caved in face. Hardy, hope them fish and chips fit through a wired up jaw otherwise its blender and straw time for you buddy.
Fri, 02/13/09 - 02:44
This *ucking guy...why don't you piss Markham off some more before you step into the ring with a killer. Like poking a tiger with a stick. Bloody idiot.
Fri, 02/13/09 - 02:47
There sure are a lot of comments on here from know-nothing idiots who didn't know who Hardy was until this post. Hardy will pick Markham apart. The difference in striking ability between these two is measurable only in light-years.

Jesus Christ man c'mon!!!!! Hardy hasn't fought anywhere near the competiton Rory has. That's not the main point though. Hardy is heavily down-playing Markham's accuracy and power. Rory will knock the Brit's head into the 5th row. Markham by ko--2nd round.
Sat, 02/14/09 - 11:21
We will fix the diet, if you Brit's fix your crooked-ass teeth!!! Stick with football.

@ Bullet tooth You really need to take Dan Hardy's penis out of your mouth. Once you've accomplished that then maybe you can work on your jealousy issues with America and the freedom's that we had the balls to take, unlike your self. Go back to your fish and chips, shitty weather and "foot ball". By the way faggot, no body gives a shit about soccer just like no body in UK cares about baseball so whats the point man? To each his own, if football gets your lil pale dick hard than fantastic, no need to tell us what sports you find cool enough, no one cares. By the way your lingo is hilarious, you sound like an angry inbreed sheep hearding old hag. Learn something new cuse words like "mincer", "spaker" and my personal favorite "tree swinger with piles". What the hell are you talking about dude? Get some sunshine cuse your depressing ass doesnt make any sense. Rory Markham knocks out Dan Hardy's mincey faggot ass in the 1st round. Did you understand me now?
Sun, 02/15/09 - 05:28
Hey bullet tooth tony- why don't you blog to the rest of the world what Hardy's cock taste's like. what a rubber! next time you blow him, try to keep your jagged-ass chompers out of the way.......fuckin yuck-mouths!!!!
