There was once a time when Dan Hardy (25-10-1) was a feared striker in the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Welterweight division.
While the British mixed martial artist came up short against Georges St-Pierre in a title fight at UFC 111, Hardy put forth an admirable promotional run before being diagnosed with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, which is a condition that attacks the heart's electrical system. And even though he has never experienced effects of the potentially serious ailment, the 33-year-old has taken a backseat to fighting and has focused on commentary and analysis for the UFC over the past few years.
