You're crazy as hell man. She's a pro boxer who's an undefeated champion and fighting a journeyman ( journeywoman? ) MMA fighter. That other girl probably won't even last a round.
JHawksNumbr1 she a boxer the girl she fighting know how to do takedowns kick submissions hardy don't know how to kick takedowns submissions she doesn't know how to defend takedowns kicks submissions grappling she going lose
JHawksNumbr1 I wouldnt get too excited. As a boxing fan i can tell you that most women's Boxing is complete trash from a technical standpoint, with a few exceptions like Holly Holm and Cecilia Braekhus. That is why nobody watches it. They dont even have the same level of skill as a decent male amateur. Its a different sport. Couple that with the fact that Hardy has basically just taken a crash course in MMA and there isn't much to see here (well except her looks).
Knowing takedowns, kicks and submissions doesn't mean she knows how to do them well. Heather's boxing experience combined with her opponents record tells me it's an easy win for Heather.
I agree in general that the women in boxing aren't the most technical in the world but anyone that knows just the tiniest bit about boxing can see that Heather is highly skilled. Easily the best boxer ( by a wide margin ) that Bellator has in the women's division that is for sure.
darby crash Holly learned to box in an MMA gym surrounded by MMA fighters (Jacksonwink) she is a special case. Heather just took a crash course in MMA. Plus shes not even the same caliber of boxer as Holm. And on top of all that Holm had a kickboxing career. I wouldn't expect much here if i were you.
I can't begin to explain how 1000% correct she is about absolutely everything she said about women's boxing...The way women are treated and marketed in boxing is such a stain on the industry, and so indicative of how regressive the people who run boxing are...
I have never seen Heather Hardy before, but she seems like a real life superhero tbh Edit: Also this kind of exposure is invaluable, cheers as always to Ariel
Heather Hardy is a superhero. Having gone through what she's gone through and to come out so strong and charismatic is incredible. I am looking forward to seeing how her career goes from here on out.
its cause in boxing women don't have any ko power, add big gloves and fights aren't even close to exciting. in mma you at least get subs and kicks that can finish fights
Her boxing style is obviously why she is so exciting to watch. She's learned many other skills since going to mma but just look at the movement of the striking. I guess it just comes down to the individual, who can coss over and adapt. She certainly can!
That is possibly the best Mayweather McGregor analogy I have heard so far. Heather Hardy is a professional boxer turned MMA fighter. If anyone on earth would know the difference and give an unbiased point of view, it would be her. Great interview and insight
I had never heard of her till this fight card. I feel like she has star potential; cool accent, charismatic and charming... let's see how she performs!
I always listen to Ariel Hawani regardless of who the interview is with cause i cant get enough of fighting no matter what. so i dont even think whether or not I like the interview or interviewer and with this one I did stop and think that in my opinion it is a damn good interview. I guess I'll be listening to more fighting than i already do Ariel and ill be thinking of the quality of your interviews. keep it up.
Heather Hardy is a very smart girl who broke down the Mayweather vs. Conor boxing match better than anybody else I've heard so far. That's insane! She said something I haven't heard anyone else say, like saying "punching in MMA isn't boxing" (that's deep). And the reason why she is very creditable is because she has experienced both. She has a future job as an analyst too (I'm calling it). Ariel has many followers and they know who she is now.
Boxing screwed her BIG-TIME!!! Wow! What a personality. I like seeing this. - Blessings to you and your fam - I hope you have a great career. I've enjoyed what I've seen so far.
MMAis a new sport still in the process of improvements. Boxing has evolved over a century or two. MMA has improved due to boxing, which is a martial art. Come on people let's see more women's boxing events. SHOUT OUT to Holly Holmes for bridging that combat sports gap.
Love Heather, one of the best female boxers in and out of the ring. She's a lot more well spoken and intelligent than most female fighters in either sport.
What she mention is true, I do feel television does not want to show Boxing especially for women fight, even when I was live watching at the stadium when woman boxing, you can see majority of people just not focusing on the fight rather than playing with their phone to pass time waiting for the male fighters to start. I hope Boxing could be evolved giving women boxing the recognition they deserved. If women mma is getting popular now, i see hope seeing women boxing growing and hopefully it will become popular to influence the mass community.
How can this be? According to everyone in boxing, they make so much more than mma fighters. Of course in reality that's fiction. Nice to see someone point out the reality of boxing pay.
when you show the superior striking coming from a boxer than a MMA fighter it will get more interest to challenge you and continue your earning potential
Man, I hope Bellator promotes Heather like the UFC did Ronda. She's got skills, she seems genuine and down to earth and of course she's HOT AS HELL!
You're crazy as hell man. She's a pro boxer who's an undefeated champion and fighting a journeyman ( journeywoman? ) MMA fighter. That other girl probably won't even last a round.

I really like her. Hope she does well in MMA and gets the money she deserves,
She will! As long they don't put her up against the multitude of tyrannies in the game/play now........
Ortum Lynx is her boxing better than holly holm
i don't think so; she is good but holly is in a different level; had better opponents, trained much earlier, etc.
womens boxing is zzz. womens mma is savage
SkemeKOS I wonder why women's mma pays more than boxing?
I'm watching Bellator now.
YesMan D welcome to the family!
Yeah , ufc gets boring.
I love her accent. IM WALKIN HERE!
Zobbtuna That's the accent of brain damage.

Jozeph Reyes she has a Brooklyn accent.
Jozeph Reyes i think she tries to hide it, but I agree
Im from NJ, and work with a lot of ppl from Staten Island and NY... she has a little Boston accent as well.
She's really gravitating and could be a huge star
Facts

fighting on the same card as Spidey (James G) is just wrong
+Paul Tuccillo you're talking craz and I like it!

She's such a cool person! Hope she is successful in her MMA career. So happy she finds MMA to be a positives space.
I know right, what is she thinking XD

Smart, vivacious, gorgeous and can fight? She has it all and if she an get a win here , MMA will have a new star.
darby crash Holly learned to box in an MMA gym surrounded by MMA fighters (Jacksonwink) she is a special case. Heather just took a crash course in MMA. Plus shes not even the same caliber of boxer as Holm. And on top of all that Holm had a kickboxing career. I wouldn't expect much here if i were you.
you cant be a star in bellator.
darby crash 😂😂😂😂😂
Not really.
I am a big Heather Hardy fan. I wish her nothing but the best and hope she reaches the highest echelons of MMA.
Dana 'bout to blow her phone up. She'd be perfect for the new flyweight division.
BluesRiffage she fighting in flyweight in bellator?
Carlo Andrade yep
Carlo Andrade yep
BluesRiffage you know he is
The Boss zu
I can't begin to explain how 1000% correct she is about absolutely everything she said about women's boxing...The way women are treated and marketed in boxing is such a stain on the industry, and so indicative of how regressive the people who run boxing are...
Ariel tried to instigate near the end. Once an instigator always an instigator.
She's cool
oh believe me they are talking about how hot a girl is in MMA too...
Deamm,this chick ain't bad.
Chuck Schick Well she has somethinng there,I'm definitely tuning in to see what's this chick all about.
I have never seen Heather Hardy before, but she seems like a real life superhero tbh
Edit: Also this kind of exposure is invaluable, cheers as always to Ariel
Claimed. I have claimed her😎
Gojira Hanma lol reminded me of a video of a drunk girl that broke into a house and claimed it
AJ LikesTech yooo I remember that the party chick was absolutely wasted
AJ LikesTech Haha she copped it
Mr P 😂😂

Holy moly, Heather is delightful. I feel bad I haven't known about her before now. Cool attitude, thumbs up

Shae Murloch New yorker
Shae Murloch those are them Brooklyn girls, easier on the eyes than on the ears
Waxx SBK no she doesn’t at all... you need a life. Go outside
Heather Hardy is a superhero. Having gone through what she's gone through and to come out so strong and charismatic is incredible. I am looking forward to seeing how her career goes from here on out.
cool chick.
"I feel like no one wants to beat up a soccer mom."
"I don't mind."
I wish her good luck in her debut.
its cause in boxing women don't have any ko power, add big gloves and fights aren't even close to exciting. in mma you at least get subs and kicks that can finish fights
One interview, and she made a fan out of me. Funny, intelligent, eloquent. I like her very much. Will definetely be watching and rooting for her.
Im ordering the Bellator PPV. Im curious to see how she does now.

What a fantastic interview! I haven't a clue who Heather is but I am an instant fan, good luck in your debut tonight!
what a honest interview... so much knowledge dropped... thanx heather
Much props to you Heather... I am so excited to start following your MMA career - Good Luck!!!
Great interview, Ariel. This is good exposure for Heather Hardy. Heck, I think I just became a fan thanks to this video alone.
she is very humble and an excellent talker. Pity a lot of the superstars of mma do not conduct themselves like this. Also very pleasant on the eye
Great interview. WIll definitely watch her fight this weekend, among other fights on the card of course
A great spirit. Looking forward to to follow Heather's progress as a combat sport athlete with a "presence".
very nice lass,I will be watching her fights

If she takes to MMA like she has to boxing, Bellator could have a massive star on their hands!
What a cool girl

I could just Google it, but does anyone know what her boxing record is????
This woman is amazing

Love Heather, one of the best female boxers in and out of the ring. She's a lot more well spoken and intelligent than most female fighters in either sport.
Broken Heather Hardy.
add the hashtag and type broken in all caps
xxcage223 Aww yes brother xxcage223
xxcage223 Sister Hardy?
xxcage223 Delete!
Her nose was deleted & now it'll obsolete for a few weeks.
Love that new york accent! Best accent in the world!
Let's go 💪😘too bad, it's not in the ufc but still interested
What she mention is true, I do feel television does not want to show Boxing especially for women fight, even when I was live watching at the stadium when woman boxing, you can see majority of people just not focusing on the fight rather than playing with their phone to pass time waiting for the male fighters to start.

The first couple seconds of this i was thinking o god, but she has a great personality.
LOL...Heather is probably getting more exposure from this single interview than in her entire boxing carrier
How can this be? According to everyone in boxing, they make so much more than mma fighters. Of course in reality that's fiction.
Nice to see someone point out the reality of boxing pay.
she's amazing
She has an amazing personality. UFC should recruit her.
Would be great to see someone do it actively in two sports. Hope she will do well.
She's very adorable in her interviews but fierce when it comes to striking.
She's funny that face she made on the Conor question, great personality and attractive....plus the cutest laugh.
I like her ! Great personality
Brighter than most cage fighter and boxers.
HH is box office gold potentially if she makes a run in MMA
when you show the superior striking coming from a boxer than a MMA fighter it will get more interest to challenge you and continue your earning potential
She's a star.
I need her in my life
great personality
I think I've seen her training. She seems really focused. Fight game is a tough gig.
