100% she looks super clean great footwork. She got caught with that straight that out her on her butt. She didn't use as much wrestling as her previous fight to dominate but she looked good.
I’ll accept the tangents, if you’ll accept the praise from myself and the rest of the fans here. Not gonna lie, some womens fights are tough to watch but the way you are coming along makes it easy and exciting to watch. Best wishes to you in the future. Good work Dan 😉
Thank you. I really do appreciate it. It’s a privilege to be surrounded by so many knowledgeable and passionate minds in the sport. That push and encourage me to be better every day. I would be doing the opportunity I have as well as those helping me in the process a disservice if I didn’t give it my all.
Yeah, I was delighted to hear Veronica talk about her fights, and when she said Jamie has probably put in the timestamps to skip ahead, I was like ... No! It's a real treat to hear Veronica talk about her fights.
Thank you. I just didn’t want it to seem like I was tricking people into listening to me talk about my myself. Queue Ali-G “talking about yoself again”
@@VeronicaHardyMMAIt’s not a trick. Many of us tune in for your banter as much for the breakdowns. It’s a rare delight to get to listen to an active, developing fighter discuss their experience in an honest and humorous way, and in such a relaxed environment. We are 100% here for it!
Not gonna lie I didn't really know much of Veronica before she got involved with Dan but since then I've watched her last 3 fights live and bet on her all 3 times. So thanks to each of you.
DP MUST come out "guns blazing". No opening 2 minutes playing the calf-kick game while circling the cage. He's got to start throwing hands from the opening bell! Straight forward.....ready to end it in the 1st! Lets Go D.P. !!
V you were on fire tonight! From talking about opponents not mattering except inasmuch as they create an opportunity to express one's marshal art, to your discussion of showboating. You've been missed!
Love how V has almost a psychological approach to picking some fights, like how the fighter sees themselves or what they may have going on leading to the fight. Great chemistry and love the show
There is so much time between fights that we don’t always see the same version of the fighters…. Maybe it’s also because I feel that way about myself and try to find commonalities in others
Just fyi - I had short time so I was gonna skip to the co and main then saw the time stamp Veronica talking about her fight and just kept my finger on the slider and slid right back to hear that first :) then listened to the whole thing - congrats guys! Well done.
I completely agree with what V is saying about spins / elbows. I notice a lot one fighter will throw one then the other will be like “oh yeah I forgot about that technique” and throw the same one back😂
Veronica, it's great to see you back and congrats on your win. I'm impressed by your breakdown skills (I'm a casual so not sure how much weight that carries lol). You're holding your own doing breakdowns with Dan, and Dan is one of the best. Best to you both, love the channel.
Welcome back! Missed you guys for UFC 300! Congratulations on the W Veronica! It should be noted that Costa hasn't finished an opponent in 6 years, and he's lost 3 of his last 4. Sean is coming off a robbery against DDP. I can't imagine Paulo winning this fight.
@@Eddie0102dude Strickland is NEVER getting the belt back 😂😂 he had FOUR full rounds to put Izzy away after that 1st round knockdown, and it he couldn’t even finish the job. Then he got smoked by DDP. It’s a hype train. He’s never been the same since Poatan left hooked his brains away.
I love and look forward to listening to you both on my long drive to work. Appreciate ya both. Great last fight V! Dan, salute you brother. Much love to ya both.
Yall chemistry is amazing !...... Veronica's random crack ups and giggling is infectious, makes me laugh too.. ... love fight talk between two good fighters. Cheers
Frankly, at this stage in my life, I'm not a terribly big fan of marriage anymore. But I'm truly delighted that two of you are. You're both obviously kind, highly intelligent, and extremely compatible in energy. It's a pleasure to observe, and I wish you nothing but good.
Veronica, we're absolutely very much invested in your fights and love to hear about it!! Awesome to see you guys back though, missed you while you were gone!
Absolutely loved Veronica’s theory Ultimately the difference in having Khabib in the corner is the fight IQ. Although Islam held his own solidly against Volk in Perth it would’ve looked way easier with Khabib in the corner
Another set of master class insights by Dan Hardy. And Vanessa proving to be at least an equal digs deep mixing analysis and wit even pulling in ninja turtles into the analogies. Brilliant!
Win or Lose.. Makhachev's game looks impregnable as heck & he's just oozing confidence and spitting facts about the comparative inferiority of his opponent's fighting prowess 😮 wow to be that confident against not average joes, but the cream of the crop in the fight game 👏👏👏
That was a wonderful way to start the podcast talking about your fight. Super insightful to see how you felt about everything. Please do that for every fight you win (which will obviously be all of them!)
DP’s movement is the most important aspect of his path to victory. How long can he stay on the feet per round before getting taken down? How much work will it be for both fighters to keep this fight where they want it? If DP is to be successful, he will need to be more disciplined than he ever has. DP has to understand that this fight is first and foremost about distance and position. It’s not about who can punch who first or who can take down who first. Just as it is in chess, it’s not about how many pieces you’ve lost but where the pieces still on the board are positioned. DP could look like he’s winning the fight as he did vs Khabib when he pulled the guillotine but Khabib took the dominant position before attacking which is what allowed him to escape the guillotine and then choke an exhausted DP out. Or DP could look like he’s winning as he did vs Oliveira when he landed 56 punches to the head in R1 but was hurt several times to the body and looked very tired and slow by R3 where Oliveira was able to take his back with relative ease and get the same choke moments later. One has to think DP is painfully aware of the mistakes he’s made in the past. This time around, DP cannot be too eager to get the finish as he was in the past. Keeping himself outside of Islam’s grip, using the jab intelligently, setting up traps to deter The TD and potentially taking a round or two in this way. If DP can keep the rounds competitive where it might not be clear who is ahead on the score cards, he is far more likely to cause Islam to rush into his range where DP can land a clean counter shot. I think an overly aggressive DP will end up the same way he was in his last two title fights. But with a proper game plan, he may achieve one of the greatest upsets in mma history.
I had the same question ,as to what was Islam mumbling to himself at the start of the Oliveira fight, and someone replied that he was saying something in Arabic, like a prayer of some sort, which translated to "There is no power nor strength except by Allah." Tbf I find it quite dope the way they're so humble. Even the prayers are humbling.
Unexpeced comments from Veronica! But I agree Islam even in interviews feels different: he established himself as someone who owns a skillset he used and that he doesn't need motivation he has it.
Veronica, I was actually in attendance in St Louis and was cheering you on as loud as I could. The people around me were rooting for JJ so they weren't happy. Haha. Fantastic win and I always love your and Dan's insight on these fights. Keep up the fantastic work both in and out of the cage!!
I’m stealing ‘hat out of butt’ and using it whenever possible. Excellent perception of automatic processing priming via throwing a technique and expecting to see it returned to create advantage. You two have something special and it’s a joy to watch.
Massive fan of yours after your last few fights Veronica - you've levelled up big time! Looking forward to seeing you in the rankings soon... Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺🇦🇺
V, we've all been waiting to hear your thoughts on your fight. We care Edit- I also have the Wood taste/feel weird thing, gives me Goosebumps thinking about it lol
Veronica Hardy's game has leveled up so much! Great work!
Hahaha!
100% she looks super clean great footwork. She got caught with that straight that out her on her butt. She didn't use as much wrestling as her previous fight to dominate but she looked good.
Yeah I kicked on the centerline and she punched me while doing it so I landed on my butt 😒 one of the many things Dan told me not to do
I’ll accept the tangents, if you’ll accept the praise from myself and the rest of the fans here. Not gonna lie, some womens fights are tough to watch but the way you are coming along makes it easy and exciting to watch.
Best wishes to you in the future. Good work Dan 😉

Let's gooo Veronica! Solid win. We always wanna hear about your fight stories.
Yeah, I was delighted to hear Veronica talk about her fights, and when she said Jamie has probably put in the timestamps to skip ahead, I was like ... No! It's a real treat to hear Veronica talk about her fights.

Is every podcast squire named Jamie?
Yes.
Podcast squire lmao
Jamie Lannister
Nice! I’ve wanted to hear her talk about her fights!
Yeah and topless too I bet!! 😂😂😂😂 I jest!! No disrespect Dan you lucky man! V keep on smashing it and earning the big bucks - Ja bless to you both!
PS we do like hearing about Veronica’s fights. Appreciate those deep dives in there pods 👌
Perfect mix of solid knowledge & organic humour with a touch of pristine entertainment! Thanks for existing!
Not gonna lie I didn't really know much of Veronica before she got involved with Dan but since then I've watched her last 3 fights live and bet on her all 3 times. So thanks to each of you.
Good 😂 you would have lost money knowing me before ❤
@@VeronicaHardyMMAbruh 😂😂😂
@VeronicaHardyMMA 😂😂😂 alright, now you're becoming one of my favorite fighters.
So glad you decided not to lie. That must have been very difficult
This was one of the most enjoyable episodes yet! I love the rambling and diversions.
DP MUST come out "guns blazing". No opening 2 minutes playing the calf-kick game while circling the cage.
He's got to start throwing hands from the opening bell!
Straight forward.....ready to end it in the 1st!
Lets Go D.P. !!
Dan's right we are excited for your fights and we want to hear more from you. So stoked for this episode
I agree with Dan, Veronica, we (I) are interested in hearing you both deconstruct your fights. Thank you Dan. You are both delights in my online life.
Veronica's analysis is really astute. I like the way she thinks about fights.
Thanks for the podcast folks. You're a pair of legends
Listening to Veronica discussing her progress was my highlight!
SO STOKED THIS CAME BACK. MISSED YALL 🙏🙏🙏
I've been waiting to hear about Veronica's fights!
I was cheering you on!
Absolute baller!
V you were on fire tonight! From talking about opponents not mattering except inasmuch as they create an opportunity to express one's marshal art, to your discussion of showboating. You've been missed!
Love the commentary on V’s fight!
Islam's elbow game is very underrated. Hope he'll unleash some on Saturday...
Yeah! When he’s splitting someone’s attack with it .. sickkkkk
Love how V has almost a psychological approach to picking some fights, like how the fighter sees themselves or what they may have going on leading to the fight. Great chemistry and love the show
There is so much time between fights that we don’t always see the same version of the fighters…. Maybe it’s also because I feel that way about myself and try to find commonalities in others
Love hearing about Veronica's training and fights. Great pod as always
These two lovebirds. Also, really good analysis from Veronica on Holland's loss of interest in fights (and in general).
Just fyi - I had short time so I was gonna skip to the co and main then saw the time stamp Veronica talking about her fight and just kept my finger on the slider and slid right back to hear that first :) then listened to the whole thing - congrats guys! Well done.
I was hyped you got the win V! Always wanna hear about your fights and training. Keep it up!
I completely agree with what V is saying about spins / elbows. I notice a lot one fighter will throw one then the other will be like “oh yeah I forgot about that technique” and throw the same one back😂
I love these two.
Great breakdowns as always, keep up the amazing work.
Same comment essentially every week. You both are lovely, thank you for this.
Congrats Veronica!
♥️ thank you
Veronica, it's great to see you back and congrats on your win. I'm impressed by your breakdown skills (I'm a casual so not sure how much weight that carries lol). You're holding your own doing breakdowns with Dan, and Dan is one of the best. Best to you both, love the channel.

It should be noted that Costa hasn't finished an opponent in 6 years, and he's lost 3 of his last 4. Sean is coming off a robbery against DDP. I can't imagine Paulo winning this fight.
This is a good point I don’t hear many other people bringing up. I feel like Strickland is coming prepared for War to get his belt back
@@Eddie0102dude Strickland is NEVER getting the belt back 😂😂 he had FOUR full rounds to put Izzy away after that 1st round knockdown, and it he couldn’t even finish the job. Then he got smoked by DDP. It’s a hype train. He’s never been the same since Poatan left hooked his brains away.

@@sentientdogma1206 are u ok?
Hahaha!
Veronica describing Khabib and Islam difference in personalities using Ninja Turtles 😆👍
Dan with the FNM t-shirt. Dude, knocking ot out of the park as always! What a band and what an album!
Appreciate you guys, calm down my anxious mind and listen to some great breakdowns. Thanks for your time and putting these out for us
It is an absolute pleasure. Personally thanks for listening to my rants and random theories 😅
It was great hearing you too as a couple speak on the card! Keep it up!
Love hearing you talk about your fighting V and the more the merrier when you two go off-topic I'm always smiling 😂
I made sure to watch that fight. You are a brawler Veronica! Lots of power.
I come on the net a lot ..this where I come if I wanna no what s what…the best ufc analyst in the game
I just came
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG
Missed yuz
I agree with you Veronuca, Costa vs strickland is going to decision
Frankly, at this stage in my life, I'm not a terribly big fan of marriage anymore. But I'm truly delighted that two of you are. You're both obviously kind, highly intelligent, and extremely compatible in energy. It's a pleasure to observe, and I wish you nothing but good.
That is a very kind comment. Thank you. ❤ he’s life’s greatest gift to me.
Veronica, we're absolutely very much invested in your fights and love to hear about it!!
Awesome to see you guys back though, missed you while you were gone!
Thank you so much for being a part of the journey ♥️♥️
Absolutely loved Veronica’s theory
Ultimately the difference in having Khabib in the corner is the fight IQ. Although Islam held his own solidly against Volk in Perth it would’ve looked way easier with Khabib in the corner
I love the pre picks interview and general talk and also Majorly aprecciate the timestamps

Love the show! Big fan of both of you. Congratulations on the win Veronica! Felicidades!
Muchísimas gracias ❤❤
I tuned in to watch her fight the last few since watching these breakdowns
Thr Full Reptile fans are super hyped about your matches, Veronica. Obviously we wanna hear about them
Finally my favorite podcast
1:11:10 - Veronica Sound effects
The chemistry is great and gives a lot of unexpected laughs.
Dan Hardy is my favourite MMA analyst by far along side Mighty Mouse! 💪🏼
What's up V... shout out from Texas
Keep the stoires coming we love em
Listening to you two break fights down together is awesome 🤘🥶🤘i definitely enjoyed you interviewing Veronica, too.
excellent take on makhachev really interesting podcast thanks to you two
Another banger from the Hardys let's go.
I think Casey O’Neil would be a good next fight for Veronica 👊
Win or Lose.. Makhachev's game looks impregnable as heck & he's just oozing confidence and spitting facts about the comparative inferiority of his opponent's fighting prowess 😮 wow to be that confident against not average joes, but the cream of the crop in the fight game 👏👏👏
Top man top women top show thanks Dan mma legend
That was a wonderful way to start the podcast talking about your fight. Super insightful to see how you felt about everything. Please do that for every fight you win (which will obviously be all of them!)
My favorite pod with my favorite ppl ❤️
Congratulations Veronica , great podcast guys .
Great job on your last fight V keep up the hard work. You look better in each fight. Don't sell yourself short V you are talented and marketable.
I just placed a 10$ bet at +8000 on a draw between Costa and Strickland. If it cashes, I owe you big time Dan!

Very well written and I think you’re right about DP path to victory. Discipline is key.
Congrats Veronica!! So fired up for you..... 💪
I know Veronica is a full time fighter, but miss seeing her on the picks and aftermath podcasts.
I love the chaos Veronica brings to the podcast
You guys are awesome❤
"Ate his way up" lmao Veronica kills me
Nice win V! We def all tuned in to watch you. Also thank you for winning me a good amount of money over your last 3 fights🤙
Hopefully I continue to do so ❤ thank you so much
There's no skipping intro stuff dudes, it's fun!
Oh we do care about the interview! Congratulations to y’all!🎉
♥️ thank you so much!
I have been looking forward to this breakdown
That's a great idea. Switch judges on each round.
Congrats Veronica! Great to hear about the fight and camp. Would gladly follow if you started doing a series leading up to fights
I would love to do a series where I feature specific coaches I really like in my camp. They are so awesome as coaches and human beings.
I was in St. Louis and watched Veronica win! Our section was going wild!
😆😆 that’s so freaking awesome. 🎉

Tbf I find it quite dope the way they're so humble. Even the prayers are humbling.
I find it helps takes the pressure off the situation with it as well. It’s powers beyond his control.
🔥 episode listen to every minute
We love V! I get an adrenaline rush watching her fight I’m so invested!
😆 sorry about R3 then 😂 I’ll fix that for next fight
I MISS THIS GUY!!!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
