Davis hits out at Hardy

Marcus Davis has hit out at Dan Hardy ahead of their fight at the UFC 99.

Davis claims the British star is ‘irritating’ and ‘unprofessional’.

Hardy challenged the American to a fight last month and has started a bitter war of words ahead of the fight.

Speaking to Setanta Sports News, he said: “It’s really become irritating.

“I’m supposed to brush it off and not take it personally but I feel what he’s doing now is making it personal.

“He’s making fun of me, teasing me, you know, like a little kid. He’s a good fighter but I don’t like the way he’s promoting himself.

“I don’t like the way he talks down to other fighters. He’s not very respectful and I’m going to go out there and take my respect.

“He’s telling me that I better be training and that I better be in good shape, that I need to learn to speak so I can hype up the fight like he is.

“But I’ll let my fighting do the talking.”
