Georges St. Pierre vs. Dan Hardy

Georges St. Pierre vs. Dan Hardy This is a total mismatch. St. Pierre is at the top of his game and Hardy is just another guy. Yes anything can happen and yes Hardy could get lucky and get to St. Pierre. That being said, St. Pierre is the class of the UFC. This is the first championship for Hardy. He's never been more then 3 rounds in the octagon. Hardy may have a slight advantage in straight striking but everything else, leg kicks, knees, ground, ground and pound, and submissions; the clear favorite is St. Pierre. Long odds on Pierre but I just can't figure out a way short of something crazy happening that Hardy wins. The bet... I bet 7 units to win 1. St. Pierre.

GSP true example of a true champion, my favorite can't wait

Sure wish I had waited, but this type of line almost always goes the other way. Bodog has had this line anywhere from -800 to the current line of -550. 5dimes -700 and TheGreek -800. I think Bodog is more of a public betting option and the lay people are trying to hit a bit of the lottery.

St. Pierre again showed why he is one of the top 2 or 3 fighters in all MMA. He completely dominated Hardy. On a 10 point must system, St. Pierre won 50-45, 50-45 and 50-44. (yes that is one 8 point round for Hardy.) This fight was never close. I scored it 50-43. At least 2 different rounds Hardy didn't land anything.

Agree with the GSP analysis, total domination but very boring fight.
