Hungry for competition, Dan Hardy sets sail on next adventure in Clipper Yacht Race

If Dan Hardy has it his way, he’ll fight again in 2016. He’ll fight at least three more times in the UFC all told, which is the extent of his contract. He will, at some point, climb a daunting mountain, perhaps one of the bigs in the Himalayas, so that he can make himself feel insignificant enough for further self-discovery. And, by early October, he will have "sailor" listed as one of his many occupations.

Sailor Dan.

That’s because the UFC fighter-turned-commentator Hardy boarded a sailing vessel from his native England on Sunday, as part of the highly competitive Clipper Round the World Yacht Race.
