Why couldn't GSP finish Dan Hardy?

An MMA technique and history episode this time round, as I'm joined by the brilliant William from Open Note Grappling (who you can and should follow on Twitter right here) to discuss one of Georges St-Pierre's most one-sided UFC welterweight title defences, against the seemingly unsubmittable Dan Hardy! Was it Dan Hardy's toughness and flexibility that saw him survive numerous GSP submission attempts? Or was the arguable MMA G.O.A.T making technical mistakes in his hunt for a finish? William is there to help me find the answer to that very question.

Here is the John Danaher video that William references around 14min12sec into the episode and as the audio dipped out at the worst time possible right at the end here is the IG for the school in Austin where you can get tied up like a pretzel and learn how to stop it happening with one of the smartest dudes around.
