Dan 'The Outlaw' Hardy
Dan Hardy is known as one of the top pound for pound fighters in Europe and is one of the most successful domestic fighters to have graduated through the Cage Warriors ranks. 'The Outlaw' is currently ranked 2nd in the European Welterweight rankings & 19th in The World, making him one of only 4 UK MMA Fighters in the World Top 100.
Ever since making his Pro debut in 2004, Hardy has wowed audiences worldwide with his exhilarating fighting style and his never-say-die attitude which has seen him take the fight to his opponent on numerous occasions and strike through the submission skills of the BJJ Black belt Alexandre Izidro, Matt Thorpe and Japanese standouts Daizo Ishige and K-1 Heros veteran Hidetaka Monma.
Over the last 18 months Hardy has been on an impressive win streak which has seen him win 6 of his last 7 bouts, which saw him reach the finals of the Cage Force Welterweight Tournament in Japan. It was his three Japanese appearances which help push Hardy onto the next level as he defeated the former King of Pancrase Daizo Ishige by decision and pounded the K-1 Heros veteran Hidetaka Monma with salvo after salvo of relentless strikes which let to Monma's corner stopping the fight early in round 3.
Since then Dan has signed to fight for the UFC and is currently in training for his first UFC fight on October 18th at the NIA in Birmingham where he intends to continue his ambition of World Welterweight domination.
