How Hardy didn't tap is completely beyond me. Solid fight by GSP though.

How Hardy didn't tap is completely beyond me. Solid fight by GSP though.

That was the most amazing part of that fight. Hardy just needs to work on his grappling skills to have a shot next time. All GSP did was take down hardy and win. GSP wasn't able to get clean shots in and was unable to tap out Hardy.

The fight might have been decisive but I don't think it was a solid fight. One of his worst ( for a win) if you ask me.
