UFC 120 picks, Vegas-style: Hardy's trash talk may backfire

Dan Hardy and Michael Bisping are very similar. The Brits love to get under the skin of their opponents, but it's actually worked a little better for Hardy. Bisping's got nine wins with the UFC, but each time he's been on the verge of getting a title shot, he's fallen short. Dan Hardy talked his way into several contender fights, won them and actually leapt over several fighters at 170 pounds to get to the champion Georges St. Pierre. Hardy lost that fight at UFC 111, but that doesn't mean he's out of the mix or that he's going to stop his verbal barrage on opponents. Is that the right approach against the mild-mannered Carlos Condit or is he waking a sleeping beast?

Damon Martin from MMAWeekly and Larry Pepe from ProMMARadio joined me to breakdown the top three fights on the card and give their betting angles on UFC 120 in this RawVegas.tv video.
