I want to see Hardy Vs Kos!

Anyone else keen on a Hardy V Kos fight?

Both coming off recent losses to GSP, and both with something to prove... Could be a fun fight, considering Kos may want to stand with Hardy and try knock him out to prove he is still relevant.

And Hardy is desperate for a win after being beaten at his own game by Condit. I'm positive Hardy would be super motivated for the fight considering his training partner Daley was soundly beaten by Kos.

I think it could be a barn burner, and it keeps them both fighting top competition and would cement them in the top 3 or so in the division.

Thoughts?

Nope. Dan would get taken down and laid on for 3 rounds. No thanks, don't want Dan on a 3 fight losing streak. Give him John Howard TBH.

Hardy just got KTFO by Condit, and is on a 2 fight losing streak, he doesn't deserve to fight a guy that just fought for the title; and one that is an awful style match-up for him. Being a huge Hardy fan, the last thing I'd want to see is him go on a 3 fight losing streak after being laid on by Kos for 15 minutes, there's no way Koscheck stands with Dan. Dan needs to drop down the pecking order and take on someone like a Howard, an Almeida or an Ellenberger. He shouldn't be anywhere near top contender status ATM. He will obviously need to fight a top wrestler at some point, but not right now.

I'm a huge fan of Hardy too, love the way he fights but I'm also keen to see him challenged and I'd like to see him still relevant at the top of the heap in the division. What happens if he drops a third fight to Almeida, Ellenberger or Howard? I'm not interested in seeing him fight guys that he is generally gonna be the favorite against. At least if he takes on Kos then there is no shame in him losing and he can still be a name by being beaten by a guy who just fought for the title...

The only way to prove your the best is to fight the best IMO. I realize he may have stylistically more interesting fights with Alves or another striker or lesser ranked fighter, but I think Hardy has the talent to get to a title shot again so I wanna see where he is at with his TDD and ground game.

Don't wanna see Hardy risk getting cut, but I think if he did lose to GSP, Condit, and Koscheck, Dana would probably give him a fourth shot as that is a tough road to haul.

Koscheck would just smother him like he did against Semtex, UK guys need to get some good wrestling coaches in there. I like a good portion of them so I hope to see them maybe come here to America and get their TDD improved.

This is a horrible idea. it would be kos/Daley all over again. Hardy is a mid Tier WW and could not beat anybody in the top 5. He got his title shot after beating 2 top 10 ww at best.

I'm a Hardy fan but fighting Kos is a very bad idea.

Give him someone like Chris Lytle, or Diego Sanchez, or even at a push Paulo thiago

This!
Both are always up for a war.
I'm a Hardy fan, and 1) don't wanna see him get beat by Kos; and 2) Hardy would be an undeserved step down for Kos.

Exactly Hardy is a fringe top 10 guy so make fights like Howard vs Hardy or Hardy vs Paulo good ol fashion brawls enhance his rep.

Give Kos mike pyle for a come back fight and pyle is on streak.
