Hardy interested in superfights, not title run
Hardy is now recovered and has an interest in returning to the cage, but not for any considerable time or to make another run at a title.
Former title contender Dan Hardy has been out of the UFC for three years after being diagnosed with a rare heart condition. Hardy is now recovered and has an interest in returning to the cage, but not for any considerable time or to make another run at a title:
It’s been an interesting three years, Hardy said. I’ve grown a lot. I’ve matured a lot. I have a different perspective on the sport and what I would want out of it. We had this conversation yesterday. I’m not interested in the belt or rankings anymore.
I like the way the sport is moving into this area where we’re having a lot of superfights. I like superfights. If there are two guys I want to see fight, I’m not bothered by what weight class or what the rankings are. If I want to see them fight, that’s the fight that should be made. If there’s an overwhelming support for a matchup – I mean, when the (Conor) McGregor vs. (Nate) Diaz fight was made, who didn’t want to see that? There were so many people complaining about the weight class and this and that, but it was a fight we wanted to see, and I’d like to at least have the option to step in and just have those single marquee fights every now and then.
