Condit's ready for war with Ha

CARLOS Condit says his clash with Dan Hardy, at UFC 120, is a guaranteed 'Fight of the Night'.

The former undefeated WEC champion, who has a 25-5 record in MMA, actually requested the bout at the O2 on October 16.

"I'm really excited about fighting Hardy and thrilled to be fighting in London," said the man from New Mexico.

"I know I'm going to have to be at the top of my game because I'm facing a very tough guy who doesn't give up, but yes I did ask for this fight.

"This is a hell of a style match-up. The welterweight division is stacked, and to get noticed you've got to be in awesome fights, and Hardy will stand there and throw just like me.

"Obviously he was just recently the No.1 contender and I want to fight the best in the world to earn a title shot, so that's why I called him out.

"I am gonna love being the enemy in England, they can boo me all they want, it is just energy. I'm a well-rounded fighter and am especially confident with my stand-up game. "Hardy is good, but my all-around skills give me an edge in this fight."

Hardy said Condit should be careful what he wishes for.

"Condit has good submissions and good stand-up skills," said Hardy. "He is dangerous everywhere and - as he showed in his last win over Rory MacDonald - he never gives up.

"I've got that exact same attitude as well so you've got all the right ingredients for a real war in London.

"Condit actually asked for the fight; I guess thinking a win over a world title challenger would look nice on his record. But I've taken it upon myself to beat the stupid out of him on October 16."

UFC UK division president Marshall Zelaznik said: "Dan Hardy was a national hero in the UK already, but I think he won an army of American fans by his display of courage against Georges St-Pierre.

"He now faces a fighter with the same 'never-say-die' attitude in Carlos Condit." In the main event, Michael 'the Count' Bisping collides with Japanese judo master Yoshihiro Akiyama.
