Former UFC welterweight title challenger, Dan Hardy has claimed the sport of mixed martial arts and other combat efforts have shared his entire life — from challenging for a championship in the Octagon, after going up idolizing The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Hardy, a former title challenger under the banner of the UFC, most recently competed back in 2012, extending a winning run to two straight fights with a decision win over Amir Sabdollah, as well as a knockout success against Duane Ludwig.
And challenging for Octagon gold against former two-division champion, Georges St-Pierre back in 2010, Hardy, a fan-favorite from Nottingham, also captured a championship in Cage Warriors before his move to the UFC.
