Dan hardy needs his own show, his own gym, everything !!

Doo Ho Choi vs Cub Swanson is a gift from the Gods of War...ONLY TO BE FOLLOWED BY BROWN VS CERRONE. It is a glorious time to be a fan of combat.

Thanks for the early christmas present fellas.

Dan Hardy always provides some of the best and most insightful fight analysis. He's outstanding in his role as analyst.

The key distinction between Pettis and Max as displayed in this segment: The Holloway highlights run right through his most recent victories. But they had to go back over two years to find any impressive, dominating film on Pettis. Holloway is moving into his prime. Pettis is on an (early) downward trajectory. Max by TKO.

Man IFL these. These videos are an amazing way to see these small details and bits of genius these fighters exhibit that most people are nowhere near appreciating. That amazing highlight headkick Pettis did on Lauzon only happened that way because of his genius setups.

Can't wait for this fight. Holloway is my favorite FW and Pettis is my favorite LW. Potential FOTY.

This program is the main thing that gets me pumped for fights!

Dooho's shot selection is amazing. so efficient.

I look forward to watching this two analyze fights, their insight is amazing and when I get to see the fight I have a good idea of what I expect on that fight, I share the opinion of others saying that the UFC better keep this two on their payroll, I think they are a great asset. Would be amazing to get to see The Outlaw back in the cage again but I don't think that will happen.

Dan Hardy is hands down one of the best analysts out there. Always a joy to see how he breaks down various fighters!

I swear to god these breakdowns are like the Rhodes scholar level of mma analysis. Just brilliant. Hardy is such a student of the game and J Gooden isn't too shabby himself. I would like to see Dan do full time commentary someday

Dan Hardy is an absolute legend

Dan and John have gotten great as a team and this is definitely the best analysis show around

How one wise man in KZbin comment section said: "I'm a simple man. I see Dan Hardy - I press like"

Dan Hardy..you are the best MMA analyst right now...

Correction @ 10:18 ... THAT my dear friend, Dan Hardy, is not called the "Carotid Artery". It's called the Jugular Vein! Plus, in the event of holding one's breath, the carotid artery collapses in fact, and it's the Jugular Vein that gets engorged. The Carotid artery is in that general region, but it cannot be visualized since it's deeper. I like your work by the way. Keep it up!

Always love it guys. From chicago in the states. Your show is THE best

Dan Hardy you're one of the best analytical thinker in UFC. Great breaking down! I reckon you would be a better fighter now if you were competing again.

Max Holloway is going to do what Max Holloway does -Max Holloway

I love these breakdowns

New UFC better not fire Dan Hardy, mother fuckers!

dat boi choi coming for the belt baby

Best breakdowns on the interwebs belongs to these two blokes!

Dan Hardy is the BEST! He should do his breakdowns for every event! So intelligent! 👊👍💪✌

idk now I kinda want to see Holloway vs Mcgregor 2

Great bit of work with that Artery business. One of example of how this show stands out above most other sensationalist and wwe-dramatics styled buildup shows.

I've seen all of Choi's UFC fights and he just freaks me out man. So fucking excited about both of these fights!

I may just buy this PPV after watching this. Two very skilled fighters going at it!

max holloway is such a fucking gangster, dark horse of the 145 division.

I reckon Dan hardy be a great trainer so good at analysis fights love watching these keep up the good work

Great breakdown as usual!! A few notes though: 1. I think that in this breakdown, even though you're selling a fight, it was important to touch up on how Pettis' striking level and defense drop when he's not the one controlling the distance since I think that due to Holloway's pressure, superior footwork and Pettis' tendency to backup in a stright line this will be key and leave Pettis very open to Holloway's amazing combinations. I have a feeling this will be key and that a lot of people are going to be surpised when this turns out to be the one-sided fight I think it's going to be. Pettis is flashy, but he has way more holes than Holloway on the feet, they just go unnoticed because what he does do well is so mesmerizing. Also, from a confidence stand-point, I believe Holloway is coming in with "real" confidence while as Pettis, no matter what he says isn't. Pettis didn't move down, he was chased out of "his" division. Pettis was getting hurt a LOT by Oliveira (abusing those same holes I talked about in this comment), and though he gave back too, I believe Holloway is leagues above Oliveira in that area and less susceptible to the stuff Pettis hurt him back with. Pettis, obviously blames the bad cut, but I believe it's way more than that and that deep down he knows it (he's a smart dude). Of course, Pettis has all the tools to win this fight, but I just think that Holloway rounds out as the better fighter (and more specifically THE BETTER STRIKE - yes, yes, Pettis isn't the best striker on the planet nor close to it) pre-fight and I believe it'll show. 2. Choi's "power" isn't weird. A great fighter once said "timing and precision beat speed and power every time". It's a known fact that it's not necessarily the hardest punches that knock you out, it's the ones you don't see coming. Choi, as Gooden pointed out, has fighter pilot precision. He picks the perfect punch to throw for each position (notice the first fight is was the overhand right, Sicila, being shorter and more hunched down was vulnerable to the hooks and uppercuts, while as Tavares ate the straight right through his high guard (which would have stopped hooks). Every single one of them was thrown perfectly, with perfect timing and EXACTLY where Choi aimed them, not necessarily the most powerful shots. That's not saying he doesn't have power too, but usually the guys with "weird power" where it looks like every time they touch they get a huge reaction from their opponent (Conor, Choi are perfect examples of that) are the ones who have the better timing, reaction time and precision.

Love Dans breakdowns.

Everybody wants to see Aldo vs Pettis.

Great analysis as always gentlemen. Fantastic job. Hey Dan are you really retired ? in fighting I mean.

Love Hardy's analysis. So detailed. Great job Dan!

Pettis is gonna crush that long frame of holloway with body kicks

Choi is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Dan Hardy is *on point*

I always liked Hardy and could not wait for him to come back to fight but if he's condition doesn't let him that's OK as long as he stays as a commentator and does this show it's awesome the way he breaks down fights such a good eye for details

Now THAT was a good fight!

Keep it up lads! Love these breakdowns

Very very good fight, I was actually looking more forward to this fight then the Johnson Cormier fight glad it's a 5 round fight.

"To go down as the greatest of all time you need to put these people away, and put them away in style." - Cathal Pendred

Pettis is the most exciting fighter in the UFC when he's not being dry humped by a wrestler. I wanna see a showtime cartwheel kick or something lmao

Everyone talking about Max Holloway this, Jose Aldo that, Conor that.....watch out boys...Doo Ho Choi is coming. Dude can straight up knock you tf out AND he has a good ground clinch game. Don't underestimate this man, he might be featherweight champ in the near future!!

Great show lads, thanks!

pettis kicks are deadly as an spicy Indian takeaway, that shit runs right through you!

"Right here the hardest hitting 145er the real hardest hitting 45er. This guy tkos people, when I knock people out they don't fucking move." - Dat Boi Choi

love the English accent great analysis on the fights too great work ufc

Amazing breakdown Dan!

Max will eventually be the featherweight champ, he's still young and keeps getting better

swanson is a legend

Jeez this could be an epic fight. Both would bring a world of hurt to Aldo and offer him a fight that the likes of Frankie or Chad couldn't. All things being equal (which they almost are) Pettis squeaks it with his extra 5 round experience and ability to kick the liver like he did with Cowboy and others. If Pettis makes just one mistake tho Max will capitalize.

Dan Hardy is right, the blemish on DHC's record is a 2 round split decision in Deep: Cage impact 2010 with a guy named Yusuke. It's a tournament, sort of like TUF and should not be included in his record. Don Hyun Kim has similar fights in Deep and it's not included in his mma record.

Last 10 seconds against Lamas were epic.

these guys do a great job!!

always great to watch ya guys

Max will box this dude up

UFC 207 is what i'm waiting for

I always walk away from these a more educated fan. Thank you Dan

I know i always say it both these two do a great analysis

Root for pettis because it will lead him to the dream fight with aldo and he will be the champ in a different weight class .but max has a really good chin but no one tested his liver . Pettis should do it .

Mark my words... Doo Ho Choi is going to be a force to be reckoned with!

its rdas fault for this. if he didnt pullout of ufc 196 and lost to conor then, conor could've fought aldo again in july and defend his featherweight belt and then defend the lightweight belt against alvarez. but nate kicking his ass made it impossible for him to reign as a multi division champ

Doo Hoo Choi the true 1 punch man

dan hardy was on point for this breakdown

Want halloway tow win, but i think the fact that's gonna be a 5 rounder now gives pettis a huge advantage

Dee devlin is carrying khabib child and when it comes out with a big blonde mop on its head khabib will burst in the room "surprise surprise motherfuckers"

its external jugular vein...anyways great breakdown dan hardy

Ohhhh yes! Been waiting for this

one of my favorite videos = great fighters

Choi is definitely the future of the featherweight division

I have this sneaking suspicion Anthony Pettis will win not based on fight analysis but an observation I had going back to UFC 162; it seems like the fighter with the drama going on in life statistically will win. From what I could uncover, hurricane wrecked Chris Weidman's house, Miesha Tate saved someone's kid, Daniel Cormier deals with Jon Jones failing drug test, Anthony Johnson has literal drama with woman in gym, Dominick Cruz sidelined before title fight, Tyron Woodley insists on waiting for title shot, Conor has press conference and expensive camp shenanigans (prior to UFC 202), and the most notable example in recent history was some guy shoots Valentina Shevchenko's coach in Brazil. All of the fighters mentioned won their next fights with many of them being underdogs. Guess which UFC 206 fighter just got his property torched?

Pettis has never been finished, I doubt blessed is gonna out score him through 5...I like Holloway still

Max future featherweight champ

max still evolving Pettis is stagnant

These 2 should be main ufc commentators, so what if theyre british, Goldberg is clueless, Rogan doesnt exactly enjoy it, Anik is straight irritating, Stann never stops being dead serious and Florian doesnt even do it any more

Dan Hardy is the man very smart guy

All aboard the Do Hoo Choi hype train!

Dan needs to come back and fight... With all these analysis breakdowns it has probably made him a better, smarter fighter.

Some ok fights but the Choi one is the one I am looking most forward to. Did a prediction video if anyone wants to give me their thoughts on it.

Gonna go with max on this but he definitely needs to watch for them horrific body kicks from Pettis.

lets go pettis! hoping for a great fight with Pettis winning then we get to see Aldo Pettis finally

we are here not to take part, we are here to take over!- King Jose Aldo

Because of this bullshit Interim belt a good deal of people are overlooking the fact that this should one hell of a fight!

Choi will reap the swanson's head off definitely

That joe louzon KO is so hard to watch,

Dan Hardy you the man!!

Misspelt "Submission" on Pettis' stat. @1:43

10:30 dan so spot on you can see it on his neck

10:18 That is not the carotid artery. Its the external jugular vein ;)!

wanna see what Pettis got at 145

when Max comes barreling in I see an opening for a big flying knee

damn I really like both these guys. gonna be a good fight

Dan hardy knows his shit!

Either Pettis by ko in 2 or holloway by dec

Dan Hardy has great analysis.

2:30 You should have figured out that by the time this aired, Holloway would be 25. His birthday is December 4th. ^^

KSB is going to be the best featherweight in the division since conor. Another 13second ko for aldo.
