Georges St. Pierre Dominates Fight, Apologizes to Fans for Performance

NEWARK, N.J. — Georges St. Pierre isn’t just fighting opponents; he’s fighting history, too.

His quest to become the greatest MMA fighter of all time has taken him through Matt Hughes and B.J. Penn and Thiago Alves, and few expected Dan Hardy to be more than just a simple pothole on his road to glory. The brash Brit may have surpassed the expectations of most, but he was still little match for St. Pierre, as the French-Canadian superstar earned a lopsided unanimous decision in the UFC 111 main event at the Prudential Center.

Hardy did well just to make it 25 minutes and simply endure a beating rather than suffer a serious injury. St. Pierre had him in two seemingly fight-ending submissions, but Hardy refused to tap to both an arm bar and a kimura. Both moves looked deep and well applied, but Hardy snaked his way out twice. But even after the win, St. Pierre apologized for the method, saying it wasn’t the resounding type of victory that will long be remembered.
