Then 30 years old, the one-time welterweight title challenger picked up his second straight win against Amir Sadollah in his hometown of Nottingham, England.
Hardy put his career on hold the following year after he was diagnosed with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, a heart condition. He had since taken on commentary duties for the UFC, mostly covering events outside the US.
