UFC 111: St. Pierre vs. Hardy Fight Previews
by Mike Williams on March 26, 2010
Lesnar, who's scheduled to return to action this summer.

Mir might need every bit of muscle mass and wrestling that he can gain to beat Carwin. This guy has been man-handling opponents in an unprecedented manner. Not only is he undefeated at 11-0 but no fighter has even made it to the half way point of the first round. He has serious power in his punches, proven by six (T)KO wins, but is also skilled in submissions, finishing the other five fights in that manner. Carwin was originally scheduled to take on Lesnar for the belt back in November before the champ's illness, so he hopes to secure this win for a shot at the real gold.

Main Event- Georges St. Pierre vs. Dan Hardy

To say St. Pierre is on top of his game would be like saying fire is hot. He's currently riding a six-fight winning streak and has completely dismantled everyone in his path lately. His most recent victory was five round beating of Thiago Alves at the historic UFC 100 in a fight that saw the welterweight champ barely get tagged. He seems to be without weakness right now but his strongest technique is his ability to take people down at will and feed them a steady diet of vicious elbows. Look for more of this against Hardy, who's strength is mainly in his striking.

The last time St. Pierre tasted defeat was due to a big right hand delivered my Matt Serra almost three years ago. Dan Hardy punches harder than Matt Serra. Landing a huge power punch is not only his best chance at winning this fight but most people agree that it's his only chance. Don't tell that to "The Outlaw" though. He's as confident as any fighter in the business and has the momentum of a seven-fight winning streak on his side. The 27-year-old Team Rough House fighter is the first English fighter to get a title shot in the UFC, and he's not going to concede anything to anybody with an entire country supporting him.

 |  (123) Comments Kable: nice read thebutterflybee: My god I love it when these events are so close together. I'm still getting over being proved right about Brandon Vera (:p) and now I get to be proved right about Dan "my boy" Hardy and Frank "my boy" Mir......... Ceelarence: Carwin is such a nice humble guy. its nice to see that Mir is respecting that and not talking a lot of shit. I hope Carwin comes away with the W. Natalia Baage: Sweet, Mike. This is gonna be awesome. If Mir and Georgie win, you might be able to hear me scream from one state over. 111 is gonna be great. Wandering_Minstrel: Not sure what I walked into, but it appears everyone is getting a little heated about the subject. Let us recall that we are in the MMA News Section. Lets keep it on topic and more importantly, lets keep it nice and clean. Thanks guys. Andrew: I think DV is being misunderstood on here. When I read all of the posts its very obvisous he was just joking to begin with. He is probably using more direct words than neccessary to get his point across. That being said he makes sense in what he is saying about the citizenship thing although he is coming off as a southerner commenting on the US Mexican border issue. Natalia Baage: This is gonna be a great night of fights. Mike, thanks for the preview! Guys... less than 26 hours.... :D thebutterflybee: ps: i am totally shitted, hence the excessive exlamation marks! D_V: you guys better not pull a two wheel warrior and never be seen again if/when your boy gets completely owned. I'll be on here. I have faith that Hardy isn't even a top 10 welterweight and he's fighting the best p4p fighter of all time. If I was Georges, I'd cut a little mohawk into my pubes and die it red just to get into Hardy's mind. When he saw a small version of himself screwing him he might quit fighting. Although I'd settle for him fixing his damn teeth. I could stomach him if he did that. He does have good things to say defending MMA. That's all he's good for at this time. Lennow Lewis once said of David Tua that "it takes more than a left hook and a haircut to beat me" and that applies here too. The Hitman: i am so pumped for tonight. it cant come soon enough Ceelarence: Back to topic for a second. What time do the prelims start on Spike? The Hitman: my clock needs to hurry up Ares: Anybody else feel some of the prelims are more deserving of a place on the main card than Pellegrino/Camoes? Ceelarence: Im out guys. ill be back tomorrow I think. Laters
