The Telegraph also understands that the UFC may be considering offering coaching places to the pair for the next series of The Ultimate Fighter. The irony in that is that Hardy has just bought a flat in his native town of Nottingham with his American girlfriend, who lives in LA and works in the fashion industry, planning to move to the UK. Hardy had spent the last few years living in LA, between returning for training camps.
Hardy admitted that having his girlfriend Octagonside for the first time meant that Swick was going to have to do something very special to get me out of there.
So now to GSP, and if early whispers are to be confirmed, the opportunity for Hardy to study the Canadian up close. I’d fight him in Canada, Las Vegas, England, on the moon, or in the car park, said Hardy. I want that belt.
And GSP, regarded as in the top 3, pound for pound, in the world ? I will never know until I have a go, and I’m here to have a go. I have all the skills to cause him a lot of problems, and he is only human. He’s a great athlete very good at winning and putting together a gameplan; but he is not a fighter like me. And I’m going to get in there and my intention is to hurt him, put a beating on him. In a 25 minute fight, it’s a long time to keep my hands off his chin. It could be some lead up to a British fighter in a UFC title contest.
