What is Dan Hardy's UFC record?

Dan Hardy last fought under the UFC banner in 2012 and has since retired from MMA. However, the Englishman can look back at his UFC career with pride. He amassed an organizational record of six wins and four losses during his four-year long stint in the organization.

Hardy fought some big names in the UFC, such as Georges St. Pierre, Carlos Condit, and Anthony Johnson. 'The Outlaw' sadly failed to beat any of these fighters, going on a four-fight losing streak in 2010-11.

This poor run of form came after a four-fight winning streak in the organization. Hardy beat Akihiro Gono in his UFC debut in 2008 and went on to get the better of Rory Markham, Marcus Davis, and Mike Swick in back-to-back bouts.

Watch Hardy speak about his UFC debut here:

Dan Hardy only won two of his outings in the organization via stoppage. 'The Outlaw' managed to beat both Rory Markham and Duane Ludwig via first-round KO.

Hardy finished his professional MMA career with a win against Amir Sadollah at UFC on FUEL TV 5: Struve vs. Miocic in 2012. The Englishman won his final pro fight via unanimous decision and has not returned to professional MMA since.

Why did Dan Hardy retire from professional MMA?

As mentioned, Dan Hardy competed for the final time in professional MMA when taking on Amir Sadollah in 2012. The Englishman was found to have a condition called Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, a heart condition that could lead to tachycardia.

His illness compelled 'The Outlaw' to pull out of his scheduled bout against Matt Brown at UFC on Fox 7. The contest was meant to take place in 2013, but Hardy never returned.

Hardy has since worked for the UFC and BT Sport as an analyst and reporter. Although, he does have a frosty relationship with Dana White. Hardy was fired by the UFC while working as an analyst in 2021.

The UFC president recently called 'The Outlaw' bitter after Hardy had accused White of staging a video showing him concerned for a fighter's health. White stated:

"Dan Hardy’s a guy that was mistreating a woman who worked here and that’s why he was fired. So obviously he’s bitter and I’m assuming that’s why he would say something like that."

Given the nature of Dana White's claims, Hardy didn't take kindly to the comments and took to Twitter to share his thoughts.
