The last time we all saw “The Outlaw” Dan Hardy inside the UFC cage was in September 2012. Then 30 years old, the one-time welterweight title challenger picked up his second straight win against Amir Sadollah in his hometown of Nottingham, England.
Hardy put his career on hold the following year after he was diagnosed with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, a heart condition. He had since taken on commentary duties for the UFC, mostly covering events outside the US.
The 38-year-old parted ways with the UFC in March, reportedly following an untoward incident with an employee.
