Dan Hardy names Nate Diaz as ‘the ideal pick’ for UFC return, foresees a knockout win
Gary A. Vasquez-USA TODAY Sports After a successful return from a three-year layoff at UFC 241, Nate Diaz has grown to be a much bigger superstar and fan-favorite. Rightfully, everyone wants a piece of him, including those who aren’t in the active roster.
Former UFC welterweight title contender Dan Hardy recently expressed his intent to face the younger Diaz upon his UFC return.
“Honestly, right now, the guy everyone wants to fight is Nate Diaz,” Hardy told ESPN’s Brett Okamoto in a recent interview (via The Body Lock MMA). “That’s the ideal pick.”
The 37-year-old Hardy is already confident about his chances, given the strategy he has in mind.
