UFC newcomer, who recently signed a four-fight deal with the world’s premier mixed martial arts (MMA) organisation.
“It’s great,” says welterweight Hardy. “I’m grateful that the UFC are giving me the opportunity to showcase my skills in the most prestigious MMA event in the world.
“I think it’s every fighter’s dream to compete in the UFC because it’s the pinnacle of the sport. To be recognised in the sport of MMA, you have to be among the best fighters and they are in the UFC.”
The jump from being the best in Britain to the best in the world is a substantial one, and one that isn’t lost on Hardy. A student of the game, Hardy was adamant that the UFC would have to wait until he was fully prepared and confident enough to not only compete but also become a success on the biggest stage.
“I know the timing is right for me now,” admits Hardy. “I have trained at some of the best gyms in the world and have fought some really tough opponents on my way to the UFC. I have the experience and the skills to step into the Octagon and beat whoever stands in front of me.”
