Hardly
a sweat broken for Hardy in shortest fight of the
night Aaron Barrow vs. Dan Hardy
Handy
Dan Hardy has just come back from a lengthy trip to
stay with the American Top Team- if it was expected
that he win with some newly acquired funky submission
from those master grapplers, then it was an incorrect
supposition.
Using
probably the greatest yet most unusual set-up for
a KO shot I have ever seen, Hardy dropped his hands
to taunt Barrow, telling him to bring it on. Barrow
responded, but as his guard came down Hardy used his
longs legs to wrap a foot around the side of Barrows
skull that sent the Washington powerhouse crashing
to the mat. Following it up with a barrage of punches,
Hardy was dragged off and declared the winner in no
less than 13 seconds. Winner: Hardy by TKO (Punches)
