After Matt Hughes posted pictures of himself posing with numerous dead animals on an African hunting trip, a bit of a debate erupted among MMA fans and some fighters about Hughes' hunting practices. Among those most critical of the former welterweight champ's love of killing animals is Dan Hardy.

The topic came up in England when speaking to the press ahead of Saturday's UFC on Fuel TV 5 card and Hardy had the following to say to Fighters Only:

"I don't really understand how you fly out to Africa, look out on the savannah, look at those animals and go 'You know, I want to kill that...I can't make sense of that in my head.
