One must assume with confidence that Hardys chances get very small after round 1.
I also think that hes kind of vilting a little bit. Both of his bizarre actions comes in round 2 or after. The knee and the inhaler incident both came in round 2. I dont think thats a coincidence.
Hes a coward. Its very mentally challenging to be tired, and i feel that true champs and heroes show their true grit in situations like this.
Greg Gardy doesnt respond well, he gets afraid and wants out of the fight.
Perhaps dangerous in round 1, but after that i think this will be all Volkov.
I may be completely wrong, but how can he still hang with Volkov here...it just dont make sense.
EXCEPT he is a A+ athlete while a lot of fighters in the UFC are not. He may quickly advance because the level of heavyweights at this point is so bad. But yeah, i agree with everyone here, the line is kind of a gift. But still, im not willing to play MLs at this price level on heavyweights. Its one punch and then its all over as Goldie always said.
