Dan Hardy’s relationship with the UFC, and its president Dana White, has seemingly been in free-fall for a while now. The former title contender and broadcast team member was unceremoniously released from the world’s largest MMA promotion back in the spring of 2021—following reports of a dust-up between Hardy and another UFC employee.
In the time since, the ‘Outlaw’ hasn’t shied away from critiquing his ex-employer, even going so far as to suggest that White staged his concern for featherweight contender Calvin Kattar in a ‘behind the scenes’ mini-doc including footage from Kattar’s 2021 bout against Max Holloway.
