Seriously, did Dan Hardy watch some early Melvin Guillard matches and think the Takedowns against a guy who's good at subs be a good idea?

They say never leave it in the hands of the judges...This match would have been the exception.

they would have given the decision to lytle to send him off with a win. plus i rewatched that fight already and hardy missed with a alot of punches that hit wind and lytle had the better body strikes.

Lytle was winning the fight...I would have had the 1st 2 rounds Lylte for sure and the 3rd was close so Hardy decided to go for the take down to steal the round! 29-28 UD Lytle I think

@ninja it reminded me of guillard vs diaz...where guillard just took diaz down and fell straight into a beautiful guillotine...and @wolf to be honest, the scoring might've been alot closer than u think...the second round, lytle got hurt TWICE by hardy, so its not out of the question for them to give hardy rd 2...and if hardy had laid on lytle for the final 45 seconds of rd 3...u never know...but im GLAD lytle got the finish in his retirement bout

More like "awesome end"! He uppercutted his sternum so hard he went aerial for a second! and then he destroyed him on the ground while he simply could not recover!
