According to this newly released article on SBNation.com, The Ultimate Fighting Championship's 111th event is now official, and this time it will make an East Coast North American appearance at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J., on March 27, 2010.
The main event will feature my fellow French-Canadian countryman, and elite 170-pound UFC mainstay Georges St-Pierre, 19-2-8 KOs, who will defend his welterweight title against British-born Dan Hardy, 23-6-11 KOs.
Hardy is soaring with confidence after his recent win over No. 1 contender Mike "Quick" Swick on his home soil, at England's famous Manchester MEN stadium earlier this month.
However, most experts don't give the British slugger much of a chance at winning this upcoming battle against the Canadian champion, and rightfully so.
St-Pierre is not only a formidable opponent, he is also undoubtedly "head and shoulders" above most, if not all, of the nearest competitors in his weight class.
Yet—as we learned from witnessing the Matt Serra vs. GSP fight—a puncher with a great "opening blitz attack" can be extremely successful against the elite cage-fighting champion.
And as you can judge from this recent YouTube.com interview, the "banger from Britain" believes he can do just that.
Good luck, Monsieur Hardy—you will need it.
