I'm not saying that this was the case with Hardy, who amassed a 3-0 amateur and 3-0 professional record before entering the UFC. None of his previous fights made it out of the first round, which didn't show me if he any sort of gas tank. And going against someone with 12 fights and much more experience, there was really no way to call it, especially since I've never actually seen either one of them fight [that I can recall]. So I just went with 6 bouts that featured fighters that I knew about, and one of those fights got scrapped, paring it down to 5, all of which I nailed
