Dan Hardy defends MMA again, this time responding to Bernard Hopkins's panties diatribe:

"Hopkins is allowed his opinion but I don't think this is what he really thinks.

"He knows that MMA is a tough sport and that the people involved are professional athletes.

"I remember him talking very well of Randy Couture a couple of years ago after watching Randy train.

"I get the feeling Hopkins lashed out at the UFC and MMA like he did because he knows nobody under the age of 35 cares about boxing any more.

"It must be hard to accept for people of his age, he has dedicated his life to a sport and now it is being eclipsed by something more exciting — the UFC.

"A large percentage of UFC fans are the people that used to buy boxing pay-per-views, but they now opt for the UFC instead.

"It's a difficult pill to swallow, I'm sure, but that's the reality of the situation and taking little digs at the UFC and MMA fans won't change this.

"It seems Hopkins has a tendency to speak before thinking, what with his racist comment before his fight with Joe Calzaghe fight, and now his homophobic remark."

The Outlaw blasted: "Insinuating that UFC fans must have chains and masks in their closets is just ridiculous.

"If I remember correctly, Hopkins enters the ring wearing a gimp mask, right?

"I think most MMA fans will give his criticism the contempt it deserves, but Hopkins is welcome to come and have a go if he doesn't take UFC fighters seriously.

"I'll take that fight and would promise not to wear panties and to keep my nuts off his face."

A man should never waste an opportunity to keep his mouth shut.

Dammit, Dan, stop making us like you.

Nice find.

Hardy is great. His accent would make it hard to argue with him too. British people just sound like they know what they’re talking about, even if they don’t. (Although Hardy certainly does.)

He should be the official mouthpiece for UFC fighters in the media.
