George St.Pierre is pound for pound the best fighter in the UFC. He has six consecutive wins and a 13-2 record in his UFC career. His last win was over Thiago Alves at UFC 100. Alves showed promise on his feet standing up in the fight, but St-Pierre's wrestling offensive, endurance and ground control proved too much for the challenger, and put St-Pierre en route to a unanimous decision victory. Although Pierre has won his last six fights, it’s taking longer for him to win. Two of his last three fights have gone five rounds with a unanimous decision win, while his fight with BJ Penn went to the fourth round were it was stopped, TKO. Pierre is well known for his exceptional wrestling skills as well as his athleticism. He’ll look to take this fight to the ground and work the ground and pound . There’s also a good chance at a win by submission. Pierre says “I love taking my opponent down. Once I have him on the ground I am dangerous with ground and pound and submissions.”
Dan Hardy will be the first British fighter to ever fight for a UFC title, so he has inspiration on his side with nothing to lose. This can be a deadly combination. Hardy made his UFC debut at UFC 89, defeating Akihiro Gono via split decision. Gono was left swollen and bloody by several of Hardy's left hooks. Gono rocked Hardy on more than one occasion, but Hardy would eventually recover and win by split decision. Hardy beat Rory Markham at UFC 95 in the first round (1:09) by KO with a clean counter left hook. A follow-up shot on the mat brought in Kevin Mulhall to stop the fight. Dan Hardy next faced Marcus Davis at UFC 99. After a three round war, the judges at UFC 99 awarded the fight to Dan Hardy. At UFC 105 he faced Mike Swick, who replaced an injured Kim Dong-hyun, Hardy was the underdog coming into the fight, but managed to rock Swick early in the first round with a straight right hand which appeared to dent the American's confidence. Swick appeared to be uncomfortable standing toe-to-toe with the Englishman and Hardy proceeded to rock him again in the 2nd and 3rd rounds. Hardy won the fight by unanimous decision and booked his place as the number 1 contender for Georges St-Pierre's Welterweight title. Hardy has the knockout power, the striking, resilience and speed to hurt Pierre.
