True. I hate it when they say "It's about culture" When the only thing they know about the culture is St: Patricks Day. I have no idea why the americans thinks it's so cool to be from either ireland, italy, mexico or one of latin american countries. If you are born, raised, staying, making a living in that country you are from that country it doesn't matter where your great great great great grandfather is from.
@@Luddmeistern Funny thing about America is a bunch of people from a bunch of different cultures come here.... My grandfather is form Italy, and wasn't Naturalized until after my father was born. Which means I, and my Father are Italian-American citizens with dual citizenship
Sorry but you cant proclaim yourself as Irish just because you have a strand of DNA from 300 years ago, you are born in a different country, never lived in Ireland and you are culturally different to the homeland
This was the most hyped I'd been for a fight in a long time. It reminded me a lot of the build-up between Ken Shamrock and Tito Ortiz. What an awesome feud!
'Belfast, Northern Ireland' - "I just lived my dream. To fight in Ireland!"... No, you just fought in Northern Ireland. Shows how Irish you are because you can't even tell the difference between the two countries...
Dana and Zuffa management - PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, bring back the ramp and the big entrances like in UFC: Vendetta (the one with Tito Ortiz and Ken Shamrock 1). I don't even like Tito, but to this day, that is STILL considered the number one UFC Entrance of all time. Please bring it back - the fireworks, BIG SCREEN, flames etc.. it was an amazing show!
You may be right mate, Its one of those fights though. Dan Hardys fight has just been promoted as a main event coz of all the hype. Personally I think it wont go past the 1st round. But thats just my veiw, Either way I canrt wait coz its on Setanta 1 this time. Enjoy the fight buddy.
like how at 6:27 its got American fighter in the background lol,, also i have never been to Ireland but im pretty sure they dont walk around wearing kilts ? enough said
Go Marcus!!! Use that aggression but man you don't really hate him because once the fights over you won't think about him anymore and hate is terrible.
I agree with helldog, irishness is not primarily a question of birth of blood, it is the condition of being involved in the irish situation, and usually of being mauled by it.
Marcus has the right words to say. The attitude he has is IMO the most motivating and most amazing. Hardy uses manipulation and sometimes antagonism to motivate.
I think you're right...Hendo's chin is insanely solid and Bisping's not a KO type of fighter...especially at Middleweight...My only concern is that Hendo's really starting to look old...hobbling around and stuff...but I still see him winning easy
WWF you talk trash and slate each other and you have a choreographed fight. UFC you talk trash but then you have the chance to kick the other guy's head in for real. Excellent.
English descendents are more ''undeclared'' that's the problem. The US hold the Irish culture more highly than the English culture and many profess to be Irish in descent that's the problem.
@plosivUK You're right. Considering most Irish immigration to the USA happened in the second half of the 19th century, the average 'Irish American' is actually 1/16th Irish.. meaning they're mostly other white heritages such as German and English.
how does hardy only have boxing?!He works most of the time with eddie bravo and their good friends!He also competed in international taekwondo tournaments before he got into mma and he was at a decent level in that!
people dont think like that .... people hold on to their roots where they come from... the guys ethnicity is irish.... hes american citizen straight forward
As far as the stand up, from what little stand up they had, I think GSP did better. He landed more shots, though the shots didn't affect Dan that much. However, I have to give kudos to Dan's phenomenal submission defense. He has ALOT of heart to not tap to the fully locked arm bar and kimura. Any other fighter who got caught in that arm bar would've tapped, thus the fight being over in the first round.
Totally agree with you, no reason people should pay good money to see a washed up Wanderlei fight a washed up franklin. Only notables are mirko, and kongo. My bet is this will be one of the lowest grossing PPV
Hardy definitely doesn't deserve the title shot. GSP completely dominated Penn, and Penn completely dominates the lightweights now. There's no way Hardy should be in the octagon with GSP, especially with much more deserving people out.
i thought hardy won the build up mind games, the fight and the moral high ground. Being Irish I rooted for Davis, but seeing him refuse the post fight handshake I didnt like, bad form. Hardy did all the right things and was is a gentleman. He's won some new fans after this fight.
This was hilarious Hardy really got to Davis and backed up his words. You just need to see Davis' face at the end of the fight. Good luck vs GSP Hardy hope you win.
bisping has been training with olympic level wrestlers for awhile now and if you watched his fights against evans,hamill,etc he kept getting back up they couldnt keep him on the floor!
Hardy has intensity and power in his hands... but by no means is his hands better than Davis'. Davis was dubbed the "Irish Hand grenade" from his boxing days because of the explosive power and precision in his hands. Since then, he has developed quick body and leg kicks, a solid submission game, and good takedown defense and avoidance by keeping perfect distance ALL THE TIME. My prediction is that Hardy will become reckless & wild, and Davis will compromise with precision strikes in Rd 1 or 2.
yeah thats true, but i guess there are certain parts of boston in which people speak like that, i mean im swazi but not every swazi sounds like me, there are various swazi accents, so i assume this is one of the many accents that are present in boston
This will be a Tactical Fight Pierre will strike from the outside and sweep with inside kicks Hardy Has Freddy Roach as a Boxing Trainer so He will be doing lots of Head movement and outside Kicks. Fight will end in TKO of Hardy from bleeding.
The highlight reel of davis's ko's is a little misleading as its made to look like all those guys were brits!Jess liaudin is french and last time i looked jason tann wasnt english or british either!
I know but last time I checked the Irish did not wear them, it was the Scottish that are known for wearing kilts. The biggest stretch you can go is the Celts wore green or Red Kilts...But the Celts are NOT irish, it was a massive culture between tribes in Europe. Heck the Welsh wore kilts more then the Irish. But yeah if he is celebrating his Celtic ansestory...Then EVERY American, EVERYONE from the UK and most of Europe should be celebrating their Celtic history
I think we will have o agree to disagree on this subject, good sir. From one intelligent human being to another, I think we can at least agree on that much.
Hardy has only got a puncher's chance. And for him to have that chance, GSP is going to have to be foolish enough to drop his hands like Rory Markham did. Hardy has never fought anyone approaching GSP's skills, speed or power. He has fought some average UFC welterweights and they have gone the distance. It will be interesting to see how he copes with a loss. Regardless of the end result, I hope he puts up a good show and we get a great fight.
Is it really GSP's fault that he's an excellent grappler? Maybe you should alleviate some of the blame to the opponent who can't defend take downs. Here's a thought, when GSP shoots for the take down, the opponent should sprawl (use knees even), then BAM! GSP is forced to stand up. It's fail proof. Instead insulting a fighter's skill, you should insult the opponent's vulnerability.
Amazing how far Hardy has come. Today he is one of the best analyst in the entire game.
He’s cut for good. Got a warning from Dana white. Blew it after another fight. Paul Daley suckerpunching Josh Koschek was utterly disgusting
Watching these a couple years later can be funny as hell.
True.

@@bleb.2986 Culture matters. But his culture is american not Irish.

I like davis being half Irish myself i understand where he is coming from! And its good to take your heritage and bring it into the octogon!
Sorry but you cant proclaim yourself as Irish just because you have a strand of DNA from 300 years ago, you are born in a different country, never lived in Ireland and you are culturally different to the homeland
His grandparents were born in Waterford Ireland im from there 2
He has a variety of origins. Mine are 85 percent Croatian
The first Dan Hardy I seen in the UFC, I was at Winghouse with some friends and, Silva vs Franklin was a great main event!
This was the most hyped I'd been for a fight in a long time. It reminded me a lot of the build-up between Ken Shamrock and Tito Ortiz. What an awesome feud!
the best preview for a fight ever
"I didn't give anyone idea's I just said this is open to photoshop if you want to"
LOOOL
Marcus Davis has a great potential and surprisingly amazing integrity.
'Belfast, Northern Ireland' - "I just lived my dream. To fight in Ireland!"... No, you just fought in Northern Ireland. Shows how Irish you are because you can't even tell the difference between the two countries...
Kinda semantics no? I understand it's under British rule but a stretch to not call it Ireland? give the guy a break.
realboltfan Most people I've met from Northern Ireland don't like to be considered Irish. They prefer Northern Irish.
realboltfan There are more english people living in northern ireland than irish people.
Exactly what I thought 😂 wouldn't dare walk into the middle of Belfast and try to blur the lines between the north and south, blokes a joker!
@@Luddmeistern i don't know where you possibly heard this stat
He was never the same after Hardy messed up his face
thats why i love living in the UK , they show UFC on a sports channel on cable :D
Great video. definitely has me more interested. I wasn't aware of this beef
I love the way tey attach this really dramatic music 2 such a trivial feud truly they can hype nytin with tat soundtrack
i don't blame Davis for not shaking his hand. He has too much self respect. DAVIS will be back stronger than ever!
thanks for the vid
was such a good fight, both fighters got some decent strikes in
Marcus Davis is a tough guy and a class act. I look forward to his return to the UFC.
Marcus actually got a tap out win due to an arm bar. Age 47 and still going
I like them both - Dan Hardy is a great British fighter and Marcus is a legend - shame they never got on, really
badass segment 🔥💯🕵
Best UFC promo ever. Hardy really got under his skin lol
most valid comment i have seen on this vid, thumbs up
this is gonna be Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its hard for me to pick a favorite.
Fucked up bro
Dana and Zuffa management - PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE, bring back the ramp and the big entrances like in UFC: Vendetta (the one with Tito Ortiz and Ken Shamrock 1).
I don't even like Tito, but to this day, that is STILL considered the number one UFC Entrance of all time. Please bring it back - the fireworks, BIG SCREEN, flames etc.. it was an amazing show!
Marcus Davis Definitely Top 20 All Time Welterweights in the UFC!
No. It would take some thought, but easily more then 25 guys better then him
Espicially with how the division is now but, hey i'm late as hell to this thread lol
@@joebuck4957 he tapped out a 21 year old rookie due to an arm bar. He’s in his 50s and STILL fighting
I'm a big Davis fan, but Dan Hardy was very impressive, especially since he's a new comer UFC wise. I look forward to seeing him grow within the UFC.
Davis has got this man! Being proud of your heritage is totally cool, if you're an Irish descendant be proud of it!
Hell yes. Being partial Croatian myself, i ama proud of who i am
nicely said much respect!
Crazy to think more people probably know Hardy as an analyst than as a fighter.
I want to see Hardy versus Swick that would be a beast
You may be right mate, Its one of those fights though. Dan Hardys fight has just been promoted as a main event coz of all the hype. Personally I think it wont go past the 1st round. But thats just my veiw, Either way I canrt wait coz its on Setanta 1 this time. Enjoy the fight buddy.

@@childsupportpaymentsaredue9145 Wow i commented on that 11 years ago, mad :)
I like the giant "American Fighter" banner behind Davis at 6:25
Dan is the man.
daley is the boy, reckon he will punch his way to a title shot
Cain does speak spanish
Go Marcus!!!
Use that aggression but man you don't really hate him because once the fights over you won't think about him anymore and hate is terrible.
just got home from a private class with Marcus Davis, hes actually really nice.
6:05.... 'Im completely innocent' with a cheeky smirk plastered all over his face... Love Dan Hardy... Proper crease up!
Have Marcus Davis take his place. Permanently.
will this still be on setanta in the uk on saturday?? loads of talk that they are going bust and the channel may be closed by then
I agree with helldog, irishness is not primarily a question of birth of blood, it is the condition of being involved in the irish situation, and usually of being mauled by it.
DAN HARDY IS BEAST!!!!
He does have amazing sportsmanship
Marcus has the right words to say. The attitude he has is IMO the most motivating and most amazing. Hardy uses manipulation and sometimes antagonism to motivate.
i do agree davis takes it far with the whole irish thing but fuck it he is still a amazing guy and great fighter
I think you're right...Hendo's chin is insanely solid and Bisping's not a KO type of fighter...especially at Middleweight...My only concern is that Hendo's really starting to look old...hobbling around and stuff...but I still see him winning easy

"there is always someone bigger or better then everyone"
it's impossible. think about it.
i love how davis tries hardy at 4:24
Check out what Dan has to say on the MMABay forum chat room tonight at 9pm GMT (1pm Pacific, 4pm Eastern)
There are more English descendants in America than Irish but for some reason everybody seems to be Irish over there.
really? Irish is the second biggest blood group of the American people, 1st is German, which includes prussia, and all of former greater Germany
English descendents are more ''undeclared'' that's the problem. The US hold the Irish culture more highly than the English culture and many profess to be Irish in descent that's the problem.
White Americans are just confused
@@pieceofparadox yeah about what to order for dinner 😂😂
Leon Reaper it's because the great Irish famine a lot of Irish people moved to America
Dellagrotte + Sityodong = Awesomeness.
@plosivUK You're right. Considering most Irish immigration to the USA happened in the second half of the 19th century, the average 'Irish American' is actually 1/16th Irish.. meaning they're mostly other white heritages such as German and English.
I'm pretty sure they are going to do that as well! :)
Ever in London?
"spend more time in the gym and less time on the keyboard" sounds like good advice for a few other people
HELL YES INDEED!!! Marcus is 100 percent full throttle with motivation. Hardy is pure garbage and rubbish
how does hardy only have boxing?!He works most of the time with eddie bravo and their good friends!He also competed in international taekwondo tournaments before he got into mma and he was at a decent level in that!
people dont think like that .... people hold on to their roots where they come from... the guys ethnicity is irish.... hes american citizen straight forward
hehe its good that Freddie picked up on dan being an "arm puncher" its really obvious, respect to Dellagrotte aswell
Marcus Davis came to my school last year. That guy is BEAST. Then again I know nothing about wrestling.
I didn't like hardy until the end of the swick fight because he finally showed swick the respect he deserves
Hardy vs Swick is gonna be awesome. I've got Hardy by 2nd round KO.
As far as the stand up, from what little stand up they had, I think GSP did better. He landed more shots, though the shots didn't affect Dan that much. However, I have to give kudos to Dan's phenomenal submission defense. He has ALOT of heart to not tap to the fully locked arm bar and kimura. Any other fighter who got caught in that arm bar would've tapped, thus the fight being over in the first round.
I'm calling Franklin, Kongo, Swick, Davis, Uno, Filipovic, Etim, and Kelly. The other fights I don't know enough about the fighters.
Totally agree with you, no reason people should pay good money to see a washed up Wanderlei fight a washed up franklin. Only notables are mirko, and kongo. My bet is this will be one of the lowest grossing PPV
Hardy definitely doesn't deserve the title shot. GSP completely dominated Penn, and Penn completely dominates the lightweights now. There's no way Hardy should be in the octagon with GSP, especially with much more deserving people out.
Saku could of, Sakuraba is way past his prime and Hardy is criminally underrated.

the @ thing happens automatically in some regions... you can also set it up with your profile settings
IDK but i am just begging that Davis will walk out with this one He is like my favorite ever
UK fans UFC 99 will air on setanta live!!! Spread the word. straight from Mr.White himself
This was hilarious Hardy really got to Davis and backed up his words. You just need to see Davis' face at the end of the fight.
Good luck vs GSP Hardy hope you win.
His management proposed a 1 fight UFC deal with the current UFC Champ after the fight between Lesnar and Mir.
one question did you honestly think bisqing would beat henderson
bisping has been training with olympic level wrestlers for awhile now and if you watched his fights against evans,hamill,etc he kept getting back up they couldnt keep him on the floor!

@GueroBG14 you made it out as if that fight had anything to do w/ the decline in his career. how was it a mistake when he got screwed by the judges?
what i cant find anything about setanta going :( , are they going on virgin aswell???
A.Ireland is not part of the UK
B.Kilts are scottish,not Irish
C.Belfast,where Davis faught is not even in the Reublic of Ireland
actually the main event is Warnderlei Silva vs Rich Franklin

That's a horrible way to act as if you know the man's heart and knowledge of a country in which he has history.
I don't know about Silva or Machida, but he could probably take a few lowly middleweights.

Hardy's mohawk kicks ass!!!!!!!
Dan Hardy is a young british striker in the WW division. The biggest name he has beat is Pride veteran Akihiro Gono.

whats the song playing when theyre showing davis at the beginning of the video?
you're obviously one of those kids who stays in his room all day crying to himself, "i just wanna be loved :("
i agree with you but i consider ireland one not 2 seperate countries
