Dan Hardy issues lengthy apology to Johnny Walker for taunting claims

UFC light heavyweight prospect Johnny Walker had a bone to pick with Dan Hardy. All of it was rooted to Hardy’s claims of Walker taunting opponent Corey Anderson right before their fight at UFC 244 on Saturday.

Walker called out Hardy for spreading false information, which Hardy issued a brief response to. Recently, “The Outlaw” posted another lengthy apology via Twitter, this time explaining himself further.

To Johnny Walker, and anyone else that was upset with the comments I made regarding the taunting backstage…

After seeing the tension between the two fighters before they walked out, the reaction from Corey after the fight, as well as a conversation with members of the corner team, it was my understanding that mind games had been played.
