Every word Dan Hardy said is ON POINT. One of the best in the business. I appreciate his accountability and forwardness. He is about the truth. Herb Dean has botched it up several times and business politics are a pain wherever they are. Glad he has options all around him and he can do what he loves in different arenas.

[@worldview6218]

I mean I can’t count the times herb has completely botched a fight now yet people always praise him as like the best in the business and idk man, I get like he is just there doing his job and I’m not trying to just trash him but this particular situation, you can really empathize with where dan was coming from because that wasn’t a situation open to interpretation. The dude got hit and was asleep and went stiff before hitting the ground and even the guy who slept him is just kinda looking at herb like uhm are you really gonna make me hit this guy again? Not only that but I’ve seen him let particular fighters get away with pretty blatant fouls and just cheating.

its because there is less defense against it - a flying knee is just as damaging - but did he get brain damage and confused for 3+ rounds before that knee, because he was getting smashed
