UFC dropped the ball immensely by not keeping Dan hardy at the analyst table 🤦♂️
Fact
So bad
@jameslachance7353 No, they didn't. I know you're a Dan fan but they have other great analysts. Dan should have not crossed the line. He suffered the consequences. He's the one who dropped the ball. UFC didn't lose a thing while he lost a good paying job. Can't be biased just because you like somebody. Dan shouldn't have taken it for granted. Dana even warned him after the ref scandal.
@@ApexPunisherX man I think he does a better job than many of their current analysts. Like I like Bisping a lot, but as an analyst there's leagues between them.
It worked out for the best for both Dan and the UFC, he isn't handcuffed anymore and has been able to reach a wider audience now he has artistic freedom.
Coolest couple in the business, love when their pick podcast comes up!
Dan really goes “I got Said by guillotine in the third” and Veronica goes by what and in what round 😂
I don’t know what’s worse that or Dan answering like he didn’t just say that 😂
and it has dans pick as blue for some reason 😭
😂😂😂😂 that is gold 19:22
@@VeronicaHardyMMAreal life rewind 😅
I didn’t even notice til this comment 🤣
Lol!!! "If i didnt meal prep for you, youd eat ketchup beans" - V
Love this as a podcast duo; great dynamic
Dan is the best fight analyst around🏆
He needs to replace DC.
Second place after Luke Thomas
Inside the octagon type high level analysis.
DJ is better
Dude V’s takes are on point to.
Since the day I caught Dan floating on my YT algorithm, I’ve never looked back. Also props to Veronica for the support on the breakdown. Balanced, informative with a touch of humour. Keep up the grind👌🏾
Y’all I can’t even begin to describe how much I love this show. Always great analysis and info on the upcoming fights, plus the vibes and banter between you two just brighten my day every time. Please never stop, and thank you both so much! ☺️
might sound weird but it’s a lot more relaxing than any other prediction podcast
@@jdan6122I use heavy hands and jack slack for that. Might not sound like a compliment but jack slack puts me to sleep, in a way i enjoy.
Dan’s a lucky guy. Veronica’s super pretty and loves MMA. I need a Veronica in my life.
Veronica was on fire today 😂 great show today guy's!!
Veronica is the bestest fight analyst around 🏆 🏆
If you’re reading this, we need a new dark room episode Dan! It’s been 1 year!
Especially because the last one was unfortunately cut short by the failed weight in;
If you reading this It's too late
Dan hardy is the king of all us real fight nerds. Like hes a total fight nerd too, but so much better at it than us. Hes even got the hottest fight nerd queen.
You the man dan. And we really like tge chemistry with veronica, and its super rare that somebody could hold their own with dan as an analyst.. she does
I love their vibe as a couple. Great pair!
Gotta love Veronica keeping Dan in check.. She's awesome. So are you though Mohawk boy..
It's always good 2 see u 2 having a good time
Awesome show. Always a pleasure hearing the great chemistry between the power couple.👊😄 I also think Islam gets it done ITD this time around. Volk on short notice against a prepared Islam is going to be hell for him. I really like Veronica's angle on Usman/Chimaev fight, mentioning Usman taking fight on short notice being a possible blessing against a mad man like Khamzat.
No one breaks down fights like Dan . Have to give credit when credit is due
V and Dan have been the best mma power couple for awhile. Vs last fight was impressive!
I love the Banter between Veronica and Dan. I'd like to hear more of her thoughts and experiencies in fighting though
You guys are the best there is at this. The ufc was crazy to let Dan Hardy go for yelling at a referee
I’m really looking forward to that one eyed terror Sharbutin (?)
Having Bruno Silva as your first UFC scrap is wild. Can’t wait for this card 🔥 👌
Following every episode you should release a UA-cam short of all of Veronica’s attempts at pronouncing the fighters’ names 🤣 Awesome episode, as always. Thanks guys 🤙
My mornings never go by faster than when I’m watching my favorite duo break down the fights. The chemistry and comfortable banter is so refreshing. Great takes as well! Love the content guys!
Would LOVE your thoughts Dan. I HATE the UFC scoring for grappling I don’t know why they use bjj not wrestling scoring for ground work. If you get a dominant position like Islam did round 4, but do nothing with it, in NCAA wrestling any pts you get for the control get taken away again for stalling so it’s neutral, if volk then reversed (like r3 for example) he actually gets +2 points from the exchange if Islam stalls.
It feels the same to me as rewarding a striker for running away for 5 mins refusing to engage (look at his defence he didn’t get hit!). If the grappler is landing shots, fair his round, if he’s going for submissions, fair his round. But if he does nothing it’s the other dudes round.
This is my fav mma analysis show
When doing long-form main card breakdowns like this, I think it would be beneficial to show each fighter's victory stats alongside their records. E.g. 10 KO/TKO, 4 Subs, 8 Decisions. It really helps provide another analytical layer to the potential outcome of the fight. There's only a couple channels that tend to include these stats, and I have always enjoyed the inclusion of them, especially when it comes to the particular fights I plan on possibly placing a bet on. Not sure how much additional work that would entail, but it seems like it would be fairly easy to edit that in. Just a suggestion. Either way, keep up the great work you two. Really appreciate you sharing these breakdowns with us!
Thats why they show wins by KO, wins by Sub, wins by Decision.

Been waiting all week for this 🔥 Dan is the best mind in the game 🎯 💯
Shout out from Texas
Watching the show for Veronica
She’s stunning and brave
Liked it before even watching it
Who would have thought "V" im a fan i can do what i want "
And dan the man natural chemistry fun and breakdowns could be so good ..keep it rolling guys ...
Great team. Love the breakdowns. Many thanks x
Volk and Usman upsets would make this one of the best PPVs ever, unfortunately they're both up against it vs bigger guys on short notice.
I love the start of this podcast so much 😂 ketchup beans hahahah you married the right woman Dan 😂protect her at all costs haha
Bam it’s time!!! Great episode as always🤙🥋
Veronica is such a great addition to Dan’s legendary breakdowns and predictions! I absolutely love this podcast
It's adorable how Veronica has picked up Dan's speech cadence.
Great shows.
would love to see Dan and V analyse her recent fights an see how they went against projections
Great point by V about short notice being in your favor and fighters taking a step back from the game briefly
If you told me 9 months ago that I could bet on Volkanovski and Usman to win at +220ish each on the same card Id have told you, you are crazy!!
Dan really knows the game, always on point 👉🏿
credit where due. I wasn't sure about Dan+V's future, thought I might stop watching these, gave it one last shot, then saw hopeful signs of improvement, which warranted another shot, and now my outlawed faith has been restored. Dunno if it's their inner competitor shining through or not, but many of the criticisms that I levied at Veronica, no longer seem to apply, and Dan has actually epitomized them more so in the last two episodes. Mental judo/tai chi. He mighta been Hangry in this one, or V's head kick had him moody than a MFer. Sure he was a bit short/grumpy/sensitive, but he was more forgetful than usual as well. Off day, poor sleep, or kicked head, you be the judge. Veronicas comedy contributions were definitely on point.
There were a few things i'd wished had been present, but the only one I can remember off the top of my head was that Volk has nothing to lose narrative. Ya'll barely said that, it seems more prevalent in MMA media, but to me, Volk losing this means that he doesn't get a third fight with islam, meaning he potentially never becomes double champ, which he desperately wants, potentially never becomes P4P #1 again, which he desperately wants, and loses much of that potential GOAT status since someone in his era had his number and won in their rivalry. However, a fully healed from surgery Volk, full camp, with a higher fight IQ than letting his ego get the better of him (talking to islams corner, not fighting the body triangle out of submission concern due to islams reputation, and ground and pounding islam in the 5th when he needed to finish him and had him gassed since the 4th, shoulda let him up) then Volk definitely has the better chance to improve weaknesses whereas Islam already fought soundly and didn't run away with it. But given the current state of affairs, Volk is sacrificing that for a chance that he would have certainly gotten anyway if he beats topuria. High risk, to an equal reward. Granted the respect earned of the short notice acceptance, but again, what will people remember more and what will build more legacy, losing plus short notice big balls, or winning plus already having big enough balls to go up and fight the dagestani boogie man. Volk definitely has a lot to lose, I'd argue more than Islam, considering a trilogy awaits Islam even if he loses.
Volk won the war, Islam won the battle - intelligently out pointing Volk and never losing his composure. A blind person could see that had we bent the rules, and let them keep fighting after the 5th, no time limit, that Volk wins that 95% of the time. But that is not the name of the game, nor what they signed up or strategized for.
New features I appreciate: ya'll streamlined the episodes by removing the lesser fights in some of the early prelims and prelims but still covered great fights from those. Also, the lack of sponsor advertisements or reduction is much appreciated.
Veronica, random advice you should probably ignore since idk shit. Partner with someone that regularly beats the dogshit out of you and watch yourself exponentially improve. You two are already a great team. Skies the limit. Your growth in multiple facets on this podcast alone, shows that you can truly improve over time to a notable degree. The same is then assumed of your fighting ability. Training with Rose, Valentina, Zhang, or a few others, especially if they have a size advantage (for multiple physical and psychological benefits) wouldnt necessarily be guaranteed or easy to come by, perhaps, but so worthwhile to your bulletproofing mentality and skill breakthrough. Maybe such ideas are impossible, idk, but it's just a thought.
take care
banter @ the beginning was gold
I look forward to these picks so fucking much
Love this podcast
@53:25 That rear uppercut may very likely put Kamaru out. Look at the Colby fight, he got tagged multiple times with that
And if Colby can wobble him, Khamzat can too
Thanks for this. Always insightful. V, is your next fight scheduled?
Yes! December 2nd❤
@@VeronicaHardyMMA Awesome! Break her leg! ;)
Dan you’re awesome but having Veronica on with you takes the vibes to the next level. ❤
I was singing the beach boys song seconds before you made that comment about Barbarena. I feel you 😂
I love this so fun
THIS IS Dagestaaaaan! (with spit) Kablam! Knocked down choked out/dismembered limb + Wham bam thank you ma'am So long and thanks for all the fish. Alhamdulillah
LETS GO BABY!!!!! KHAMZAT SMESH.. love ur channel alhamdulilah
Dan can you tell me where you got your shades from please? thank you.
Good stuff
Let’s go Volk ! 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
This was a very informative episode, as a fan of American baked beans, I always wondered what British beans were like. Watery ketchup beans on toast....makes perfect sense
😂😂 the American ones are sweet right? I’ve never had them
Greatest mma couple
Dan hardy always level headed and unbiased
I feel like Warley Alvez fights to the level of his opponent. Although I heard Colby in a rare interview talking about his career & he was actually talking as his real self,he wasn't being his usual character he plays & he wasn't calling Kamaru Usman "Marty Snoozeman" or anything & he was very complimentary of Usman and then he said the only opponent that he was truly afraid of coming into the fight was against Robbie Lawler,& he even admitted regretting that promo he did after that fight makn fun of Matt Hughes and the train track comment,anyway about his fight vs Warley Alvez he said he literally came into that fight KNOWING he was gna lose,I get it that 99% of the time both guys come in a lil fucked up & injured but the camp he had for that fight went worse than even Khabib's camp went vs Justin Gaethje when after I found all the shit that went wrong for Khabib during that fight truly made me realize that Khabib is mentally unbreakable & Colby was even more fucked up vs Warley, if I remember right he had a broken rib, a torn ACL on 1 leg & a torn LCL on his other leg, & he said he almost pulled outta that fight just due to those injuries buy he said he needed the $$ and I guess this was right around the time the UFC was starting to tell him he needs personality and to basically figure his shit out before his contract was up which still had 5-6 fights left on it so he was afraid they'd release him for pulling out but at the same time felt like they'd give up on thinking of him as being a future top title contender and possible champion,he made weight still wondering in his head how he was gna even be able to move at all during the fight let alone win and then after making weight he ate chicken or something but whatever it was gave him food poisoning to the point he was still throwing up and dehydrated as fuck the morning of the fight, so he never rehydrated at all and only dehydrated more but since he only walks around at 182 lbs he doesn't have to dehydrate the fuck outta himself to make weight but ya, now that I wrote a novel about this interview maybe you can find it if u haven't seen it
After hearing Dan im officially changing my Verdict pick to Usman, thanks for the wisdom
Usman has a better chance than Volk.
Don’t bet ur house on it
Islam via UD
Khamzat via sub round 2
I noticed Volk had heavy strapping on his elbow. I wonder if this was the right move for him.
I just stared at Veronica for 1:13:13
Agree with Dan about Jonny Walker, Jonny 2.0 is a problem for everyone
Dan, my man, if you like dog videos, I suggest Bunny the taking dog. There are a bunch of other dogs too using buttons to talk with their owners. Cats get in on it and now guinea pigs. Amazing stuff.
Alex will win by TKO, sorry guys, your wrong on this one
Dan, Gaethje vs Makhachev. That would be a huge fight. Gamrot vs Charles.
Love these two.
Even if V came straight out with heel turn on us Brits…!
Ketchup beans on toast 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ketchup Beans LMFAO.
The amount of disrespect ufc have shown volk both times he’s stepped up and fought islam is astounding and pointless just like most the other interim belts
Cope.
Can you guys please lean into the wholesome homeliness of your podcast? I’m thinking, fireplace, tea, green comfy couch, knit sweaters, maybe rare nuzzling
😂😂
dan the man hardy
Volk by submission 🇦🇺 Hey stranger things happen . Dig the show guys
1:03 of the 3rd!
I fucking love her 😂😂 do the tale of the tape and smirks. 😂😂
V spot on suman would not take this at short notice - all upside money plus built in excuse
I love how I just entered this livestream to the words "mushy carbs" 😂😂😂
😂😂
That was a funny intro, right off the sponsor 😂😂👍
What a lucky man
Well at least you got the Islam fight right lol. I hate picking fights cause the fighters i pick usually lose lol but i love Islam and Khamzat since the day they got in the UFC and khabib talked Islam up. I love Alexander the great too but i think like Izzy he is biting more off then he can chew getting a little to greedy. He can still make a huge legacy off of his division and be the goat of that division and one of the mount Rushmore fighters of the UFC it will just be behind Islam and Khabib lol
I like Tim Elliott’s chances. He just looks like a different fighter these days. Ever since his woman screwed him over.
Let alone Mokaev nearly got finished and was losing the Dec to Filho. And was losing the Dec to Gordon
Johnson fight was a stinker.
Then immediate subbed durden
Elliot is awkward, will Grit down, is able to wrestle and has the striking advantage outside of reach. The best different between them in the wrestling is elliot gets positioning damages. Mokaev controls
let’s not forget Usman has Henry Hofft in his corner. Who is regarded as the best coaches in world rn. he also was in Gilbert burns corner so I know he has a solid ass game plan for Usman
Good point! No doubt hooft has been cooking since burns
Ketchup beans😂 never calling them baked beans ever again
Dan how come you don't do post fight analysis/reactions?
It’s just a time thing really mate. I have other jobs that need doing.
Don’t be silly mate… 😂🤦🏻♂️ You’re being unnecessarily sensitive, bless you…
If you actually watched the videos on this channel (which you clearly don’t) you will have noticed that I picked Islam to win.
Send me a link to your post fight reaction video and I’ll have a watch of it. 👍🏼
@@DanHardyFR ammm Dan I think this comment was meant for someone else? Right?
Love the Kiss hoodie
I love to say kiss like Mike Tyson in tense moments
@@VeronicaHardyMMA lol
It was an upper cut against Ikram
As much as I like this show however Khamzat I highly doubt is buying any Kool Aid here on rushing the fight. Khamzat made this clear in an interview he would take his time he knows Usman is a solid former champion and due to the fight styles here Khamzat knows Usman can just fight his fight no problem.
Most likely Khamzat trys to land that right hand to make a point as this a weapon he's trusts at MW and if standup becomes too contested then Khamzat might try to shoot on his terms but even then proceed with caution as Usman can gain confidence and has weird power that's going to be double a MW.
Ketchup beans 😂😂😂
Rather than beans on toast, let’s give in an Mercian bbq twist. Look up a baked beans recipe and make them even if it’s from canned beans as a base. Then make garlic bread on a French roll. Dip the garlic bread in the beans. You’re welcome lol
You Guys are so cute..... ☺. Great Picks show as always!!!!!
Volkanovski- already had the first fight to fight and test grounds he have more experience vs makachev than any other new opponent who had a full camp.
If dehydrated Makhachev can win 4-1 against volk.....
I can only imagine what a rehydrated Makhachev can do 🥶
Beans on toast is all good we Brits love it 😂
Dan you give the best fight analysis…period. Always spot on. Thank you 🫡
Ketchup beans you know 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
let’s see what happens i’m using all of dans picks on verdict
Damn it. I wrote Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Veronica is back on Dan's breakdown vid. Anyway. Kick Ass homies. Haaaaa. Ketchup beans. Turrible.
Cutest couple ever! 🙌🏾👏🏾 love these two
They haven't announced Ilia Topuria vs Max Holloway for the interim title.
I’m pretty sure I saw it but it’s now not really showing since Volk said he will make it to that fight
Congrats as the prediction picking winner @VeronicahardyMMA... as usual 😉
👍
I identify so hard with Veronica at the end it's not even funny. I want Volk to win so bad cause I feel like he earned the last one aside from the body triangle nonsense and as much as we all respect him taking this on less than two weeks notice the UFC has fucked over fighters before.
