HARDY TALKS TOUGH IN PREMIERE OF UFC PRIMETIME
Mar 10, 2010
(PRESS RELEASE) -- In anticipation of their world welterweight
title clash at UFC 111: ST-PIERRE vs. HARDY, UFC® champion Georges
St-Pierre and challenger Dan Hardy will be featured on UFC
Primetime®, a weekly, three part series premiering Wednesday, March
10 at 10:00 PM ET/PT on Spike TV.
In the first episode, Hardy boastfully speaks about his chances of dethroning the champion, St. Pierre.
“I know that I can give GSP hell when the times come. It’s so sweet
stepping out into the Octagon on the other side saying, ‘I told you
so.’
“All these GSP fans that are betting the house on him, when they wake up Sunday morning…they aren’t going to be too impressed with themselves.”
“I am the most confident guy I’ve ever been in my life, I got the knowledge, the experience of championship fights. I’ve got everything on my side.”
“One round I can strike with him and try to knock him out. The other one I can try to put him down and submit him. He doesn’t know what I can do to him. I can do it all.”
“UFC Primetime,” produced by the Ultimate Fighting Championship® (UFC®), is a look into the lives of perhaps the world’s best pound for pound fighter, St-Pierre, and Hardy, the man looking to unseat him at the top of the welterweight ladder. As the two prepare for their meeting in late March, Spike TV will present three special weekly installments that will take viewers across the pond to Nottingham, England as Hardy trains with the rest of his Rough House team, and back to North America to Montreal to see how St-Pierre, one of the most beloved athletes in Canada, is preparing for his title defense. “UFC Primetime” delivers an extraordinary amount of access to two of mixed martial arts’ best, as they head into what could be the signature fight of 2010 at UFC 111.
Christopher Martello of Spike TV serves as executive in charge of production of UFC Primetime.
UFC 111 will air live on Pay-Per-View Saturday, March 27 from the Prudential Center, in Newark, NJ at 10:00 PM ET/ 7:00 PM PT.
