Wonder if Hardy can get a win and save his career with the UFC

If Hardy does win this, it won't come easily. Ludwig had Neer in trouble in that fight. I think The Outlaw will have a real fight on his hands in this one.

Ludwig catches him on the feet. Both have rudimentary ground games.

I'm rooting for Hardy, but he's not a better striker than Ludwig, and neither guy will dominate the other on the ground.

Yaaa bad for the Outlaw. His striking is not to Ludwig's level.

Dan Hardy hasn't fought since the time I've been on this site so it may be a little known fact that I'm a huge Hardy fan!  WAR HARDY!!! :)
It's going to be a great fight for sure.

Also a Hardy fan; he's gotta get this win and string a few dubs together.

Good match up for the fans but bad for Hardy even if he wins imo.......They should have given him a low level guy who wanted to take it to the ground,just so Hardy could prove he has TDD. Still an awesome fight!

I think ludwigs striking is more overated than hardys, ludwigs ground game is shit, actually worse than hardys and i think hardy has the size and power advantage as well, hardy can win this any way he wants

I'm calling it now. Hardy via RNC! He shot for a td with Lytle, maybe he's evolved even more now.
