Pretty fascinating look inside the mind of a fighter on weight cutting day

Ben Henderson, damn. Miller's gotta be wondering now if he'll ever get the shot.

 

I know right...he REALLY impressed...and Hardy...damn man...i did think he was gonna lose...but i just dont think he can cut it at the top...have to give him some bottom feeders to get his confidence back.

 

Hardy's take-down attempt killed him.. he even tweeted that he is taking time off to do some learning.. he needs to go back to basics.. we want the same Hardy who fought GSP..

 

if he gets cut...he goes to BAMMA and i wanna see Daley vs Hardy...now thatll be a war!!!

I think he really needs some smart stand-up coaching. Lytle's a tough guy, and I really like him, but hooking over and over should equal uppercuts and when Lytle does the low right hook to the body, you overhand right to his exposed head. Hardy had so many openings, yet he stuck to his set pattern as if he was fighting somebody else...and therein lies the problem. You have to train to fight specific fighters and have strategy and tactics customized to take advantage of holes in the other fighter's style and technique. Hardy fought a stupid fight, and Lytle beat up a guy who was too stiff and non-adaptive. Hardy could've and should've won this fight. Still, I'm glad Lytle won his last fight and decisively so, guy's got a good heart, and good head on his shoulders. He made a smarter decision than most fighters have, and perfect timing.
