Diego Sanchez offers Dan Hardy ‘warrior’s death’ in Twitter rant, Hardy fires back

If or when Diego Sanchez fights again, he’s lining up a number of potential opponents for himself.

Sanchez had his Twitter fingers running late Wednesday, sending out a number of messages that included what appeared to be callouts of fighters Conor McGregor, Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone, Demian Maia, and Dan Hardy. It’s Hardy who received much of the attention, with Sanchez telling the former welterweight contender-turned-UFC analyst, “Dan, just ask, I’ll give you the warrior’s death you desire.”

The 38-year-old Hardy, who hasn’t competed since September 2012, has said on multiple occasions that he would still like to fight again before officially announcing a retirement.
