Five Finger Death Punch Guitarist Makes UFC 111 Picks

There's no denying that MMA has a wide fan base. From blue collar to white collar to actors, athletes and musicians alike, MMA appeals like no other.

So it is no surprise that with UFC 111's intriguing match-ups, that some of the sport's more famous fans are lining up to give their opinions.

One such fan is Zoltan Bathory, founder and guitarist of heavy metal standouts Five Finger Death Punch and co-owner of MMA clothing line Alphadog Combat Gear.

Bathory recently told MMAInsider that when it comes to the evening's main event between UFC welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre and Dan Hardy, his money - literally - is riding on the champ.

"If I had to bet on it, I would say it is going to be GSP winning this," announced Bathory.

"I know Dan Hardy has been aligned with Matt Serra, (but I) think he is talking a little too much for this (fight). This is a 50/50 (type match-up), but I tend to think that GSP will come out on top."

Bathory is also intrigued by the evening's heavyweight title eliminator fight between former champion Frank Mir and top contender Shane Carwin.

"That is going to be another interesting one because I think Frank really wants to get back at Lesnar," commented Bathory. "He is more likely not even focusing on this fight - it's like he's focused on getting back to the title."

While Bathory senses Mir's ultimate motivations may be elsewhere, he still bets that the hunger Mir has for returning to the title picture will drive him to come out on top.

"Of course you can't (look past) Shane Carwin - he's no joke and you can't really (disrespect) the guy - but I would put my money on Frank in that one though."

Dan Hardy Talks Boxing And What's Wrong With The Sport

The MMA world and the boxing world seem to cross paths on a regular basis these days. With James Toney signing with the UFC and Ricardo Mayorga fighting in Shine, the appeal to put boxing and MMA in the same sentence is a topic of conversation quite a bit these days.

A big boxing match took place last weekend in Dallas when arguably the best pound-for-pound fighter in the sport Manny Pacquiao defeated Joshua Clottey in what has been regarded as a very lackluster, and unexciting fight.

UFC welterweight contender Dan Hardy weighed in on boxing during a media conference call on Tuesday, where even he as an admitted boxing fan doesn't like the sport nearly as much these days.

"I've always been a huge fan of boxing, I'm really selective about what boxers I watch, and about what fights I watch," said Hardy.

"I would say probably unfortunately now 50 or 60% of the time I've watched a boxing match I've been looking forward to, I kind of feel like I've been robbed of 45-minutes of my life."

Hardy talked about the Pacquiao vs. Clottey fight, and the style that bores him in the ring.

"In a boxing ring to a certain extent the boxers can hide," said Hardy. "Clottey didn't really want to fight Pacquiao, he didn't come to win. It was kind of like my fight against (Akihiro) Gono, my first fight in the UFC. The guy didn't come to win, and they're not my kind of fights. I really struggle to watch those kinds of people."

Still, growing up a boxing fan, Hardy likes the sport for certain fighters, but also feels that the excitement and adrenaline surrounding MMA are some of the reasons why the sport is blowing up world wide.

"I like guys who are taking the risks, who are putting their neck on the line," said Hardy.

"People need to see that intensity in the fight. That's what boxing's losing, don't get me wrong, there's some fantastic fighters out there, and I'll always watch the big boxing matches when they come on, but at the end of the show I'm not always happy I've watched it."

Dan Hardy Talks About Marcus Davis and Psychological Warfare

The fight between Dan Hardy and Marcus Davis seemed to reach a fever pitch when the two squared off at UFC 99 last year, but the war of words didn't end there.

Prior to the fight, Hardy did everything in his power to rile up the Irishman, and he accomplished his goal. A Photoshop contest amongst fans, and some well placed trash talk, brought Davis to a frenzy before their fight ever happened.

Right after the fight, Hardy admitted that it was all part of a strategy to get into Davis' head and earn a shot at the Maine based fighter. Still even though the fight seemed over, Davis fired back just weeks ago via his Twitter account stating, "I hope Dan Hardy dies of AIDS."

The comment was eventually deleted, but Hardy says that Davis obviously didn't know when enough was enough.

"Some people can't see it for what it is. Obviously with Marcus Davis making a comment like that it obviously proves he can't deal with the situation, and he doesn't get it," Hardy commented recently when appearing on MMAWeekly Radio.

"Apparently the Photoshops that I helped create were completely unacceptable, yet he makes a comment like that (and) it's okay? I don't understand where his logic lies."

Hardy admits that psychological warfare goes a long way, and he's become a master of that particular trade.

"Any time you can use any psychological warfare, it's different for every fighter," Hardy said. "The Marcus Davis fight was a blatant, outright, I'm going to punk him, I'm going to make him look stupid, and you're going to get crazy and lose your mind.

"Mike Swick was a little bit more fun, a little bit more jokey, but when it got to the end of the build up of the fight, he'd been expecting me to say all kinds of stuff that he didn't know really how to deal with it. He didn't know how to prepare himself for what was to come."

Hardy's teammate, Paul Daley, has started a similar campaign for his upcoming UFC 113 fight against Josh Koscheck. Daley encouraged fans to Photoshop a new haircut for Koscheck ahead of their fight, and when Hardy was asked if he would possibly put the best photo on his walkout t-shirt for UFC 113?

"Don’t give him any ideas, you know he will," Hardy responded.

Dan Hardy Debuts His Version Of "England Belongs To Me" At UFC 111

A long time fan of metal, punk and hardcore, UFC 111 main eventer Dan Hardy will test out his vocal chops when he debuts a version of the Cock Sparrer classic, "England Belongs To Me" with "The Outlaw" providing vocals for the track.

Hardy talked about his choice of songs when appearing on MMAWeekly Radio earlier this week.

"I'm using some traditional British punk again. I'll be using the same song, "England Belongs To Me" by Cock Sparrer, but this is a re-recorded version with me putting the vocals on it, so an interesting one," Hardy said about his UFC 111 entrance song. "It's got a bit more balls than the last one as well."

Growing up as a metal fan in England, Hardy says he started out with the classics and still follows his love of music to this day.

"My favorite band when I was younger was Megadeth," said Hardy. "I just went from them to Pantera, and Slayer, and then I just started getting into hardcore, Earth Crisis and Madball, and I also listen to a lot of the British punk and ska, like Madness and The Clash and bands like that."

The new track with Hardy's vocals will debut at UFC 111 in New Jersey. Check out the original below.
