As a former title contender and current analyst for the UFC, Dan Hardy has been front and center to witness the evolution of mixed martial arts. He likes what he sees, and not just for the future of the sport, but what the changes could mean for his potential comeback.
During an appearance on The MMA Hour on Monday, the 36-year-old Hardy was asked if he noticed that younger fighters are starting to win more and more at recent UFC events. The example used was the promotion’s recent trip to Singapore, where several fighters in their early-to-mid-20s picked up wins over more experienced opponents.
