Dan Hardy UFC Champ - maybe one day, but not now.

Look, a lot of people seem to have the shits with Dan Hardy. He's cocky, he's arrogant blardy blah. I personally like him for two simple reasons.

1. He makes me laugh
2. He smashes people in the face really hard

That's all I need really and I'm entertained. Whether you like it or not, MMA is about entertainment. This guy is entertaining and the Dan Hardy GSP trash talk is hilarious. And, I gotta say I was surprised to see some pretty slick Kung Fu from Hardy in the last Primetime installment. I don't know how long this will be up for, but at the moment you can watch the show here:

So I'm not hating on the guy, but do I think he can beat GSP? No, I don't. As always, you can be proven wrong and yes one solid hit could put GSP's lights out. But I just don't think that's going to happen. Once bitten, twice shy - and GSP never wants to feel the title seizing bite of the underdog ever again.

I think that the thrashing Matt Serra handed out to GSP created some kind of a mutation process that changed him as a fighter permanently. If someone is going to beat this guy, I don't see it happening with another lucky punch. Maybe when he's Couture's age, but not yet.

Dan Hardy is good, but he's still a young fighter and I see this one going down just like GSPs first title match against Hughes. Just too much, too early for a guy with potential who needs more time.

We'll see what happens.
