Hardy vs. Gordon

This is the official discussion thread for Hardy vs. Gordon. Let's see what you've got.

Hardy makes his sop****re appearance on the Contender Series in a few weeks.

Is the nature of Hardy's contract that he is exclusive to the Contender series now? Or can he fight in UFC friendly promotions like LFA, or even make his dreams come true fighting in Invicta?

Lol hahaha yeah greg hardy nnnnneeeewww invicta fc champion of the world

I wasn't sure that Hardy would be able to get his development contract. But after watching him take one round to starch an experienced prospect in Austen Lane just on freak athletic ability alone, I think that now he will put the hurt on anyone Dana puts in front of him in the Contenders series, especially with more training under his belt at ATT.  And whether you like him or not as a person, this guy has all the ability to become a special talent and absolute force in MMA.

These regional guys will suffer in Hardy hands...

It's certainly a good idea to get Hardy more experience. Assuming he walks through Gordon fairly easy, I wonder if they bring him straight to the UFC, or try to organize a fight outside still?

@green

He has the talent, but I think any decent grappler makes him look silly. Unless he's rocking a purple belt or wrestled at some point, I don't think the elite give him space. Smother the athletic guys.
