Randy Couture probably didn't gain any new fans with his first live performance on free television. Couture clinched incessantly against the cage with Brandon Vera working for a take down unsuccessfully. The real story coming out of Saturday's card is that of GSP's next title defense against the ever-improving Dan Hardy. Hardy dominated Swick for three rounds in their welterweight contest and wobbled him on several occasions. There is a rumor that Dan Hardy will coach the 11th season of TUF against the welterweight king Georges St Pierre. Hardy will undoubtedly be a huge underdog in the contest, but he hits harder than Matt Serra and we saw what Serra was able to do with an opening to Georges jaw. Michael Bisping rebounded with a vengeance against the always tough Dennis Kang winning via TKO. Bisping was caught early and got into a bit of a precarious position before coming into his own in the second round and finishing Kang with ground and pound.
