With his regular output of podcasts looking at upcoming bouts, and his role as a UFC color commentator, Dan Hardy has positioned himself as one of the most notably analysts in MMA. The ‘Outlaw’ had a 10-fight career in the Octagon, stretching from 2008 to 2012 - including a title fight with Georges St-Pierre - before being permanently sidelined by Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, a birth defect resulting in an irregular heartbeat.
The years since have seen him carve out his spot cageside for the UFC, calling fights and breaking down action. In a recent episode of BT Sport’s Open Mat podcast, Hardy took a closer look at the middleweight title picture and how he feels the top contenders shake out in terms of potential match-ups.
