    Who's the hardest opponent he's fought?

    Does he think that getting so wound up by Hardy may have cost him the edge in the fight?

    Did this hurt?

    How bad was the last 155 weight cut?
    And would a 165 division suit you a lot better?

    If you could start your career over again, what (if anything) would you do differently?

    How big a disadvantage was your reach given your boxing based striking, is it true that the UFC increased your reach slightly for the tale of the tape.

    At the age of 38 and the big payday of the UFC behind him does he not think its time to consider his health and maybe move into coaching? if not why not?

    Where do babys come from ??

    Does he think fighters with abnormally long limbs (e.g. Anderson Silva, Jon Jones) have an unfair advantage similar to a heavier fighter fighting a lighter fighter?

    (I'm tired so my wording is crap, but I hope you can understand the gist of my question).

    Seriously! Don't ask that-unless you want a box off him.

    Great Q. Also the one about the CC Title fight is awesome.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 963 ✭✭✭Richy06


    Who was your toughest opponent and why? Not just in the sense that they could take a lot of damage but overall who was the best.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,614 ✭✭✭✭DrPhilG


    If Dan Hardy's UFC slump continues and he is cut, would you pursue a rematch in another org like BAMMA?

    What do you expect him to say? Lets cut off part of their arm?

    Ask him, as a Waterford man how would he rate Davy Fitzgeralds time in charge of the hurling team?

    He might say he thinks they have an unfair advantage ("but what can you do").

    I'm interested in hearing his opinion on those types of fighters, and whether or not he thinks it is talent or abnormal genetics which is why they are so dominant.

    I'm pretty sure he won't-everyone has different advantages, some are short and it helps there wrestling, others are tall and it helps there striking and there is loads of other variations.

    Also it takes talent to use there bodys as if you don't know how to use them they can be just as much a hindrance as an advantage.

    Regardless of whether it's an advantage, you could hardly say it's an unfair one.

    Might as well say a fighter has an unfair advantage if he has an iron chin, or is a particularly hard hitter.
