Dan Hardy reportedly fired by UFC and BT Sport after Fight Island incident

Dan Hardy worked for years as a UFC color commentator and fight analyst for the UFC’s UK broadcast partner, BT Sport. The former UFC title challenger was absent at recent UFC events, and it’s because he is no longer working for both companies.

According to a report from Dave Meltzer, Hardy was “fired” by both the UFC and BT Sport “over an issue in Abu Dhabi where he got into an argument with a female employee.”

Hardy has since discussed the topic on social media. He didn’t reveal too much, but stated it was due to a “disagreement over an opportunity missed, or withheld.
