Yeah hardy came out slow in the first round.
Hardy looked a little soft around the midsection coming into the fight. I wonder if maybe he had an injury that prevented him from training cardio properly at some point in camp? That may explain why he went for takedowns mostly in the second and third rounds to slow the pace down when Sadollah began building momentum.
I also noticed that he didn't look in top shape. I think he started going for takedowns because the first round showed that one the feet it was just too close so he decided to switch it up.
I wonder what would happen if we got a Swick/Hardy rematch.
Outside of the first round I thought Hardy started to pull away in striking. He was landing better and really working that fade away left hook for some success. I really think the takedowns early on were to negate the pace that Amir pushes so Hardy could catch his breath because he looked really tired, at least for Hardy, going in the third round.
Well shit, somebody get that motherfucker on the phone and let's find out what's up.
Should be.
Bullshit, in my opinion, both for Johnson AND Attonito. WTF would Attonito be cut for that? He tried, couldn't make the weight, as said as much. Silva had plenty of time to simply find another fighter, which he did, in Johnson.
