Dan Hardy has been clearly absent from recent UFC broadcasts, and according to the one-time welterweight title challenger and longtime critic, it’s no accident.
Following a Wrestling Observer report, Hardik revealed on Twitter that he was no longer working with the promotion after a “disagreement” with a female employee.
According to the observer, Hardik was terminated by UFC and UK broadcast partner BT Sport over an “argument” with an employee. The report states that Hardik is under contract as a fighter, although he has effectively retired due to a previously declared heart condition.
In response to a BJPPN.com story on the news, Britt, 38, disputed the characteristic that his departure was due to dismissal.
“I’m not working directly with the UFC anymore,” Hardick wrote. The “female” part is inconsistent. He missed the opportunity or disagreed with Rocky, and I’d like some answers, but couldn’t find any. “
Instead there are misleading headlines, bjpenndotcom. Not even completely accurate.
I am no longer working directly with the UFC. The ‘female’ part is irrelevant. He missed the opportunity or disagreed with Rocky, and I would like some answers but no one. https://t.co/OWN3huP8Pe– Dan Hardy (andanhardymma) March 7, 2021

After that, both Hardy and Dean released videos defending their actions at the event; Dean said the stoppage was just right, while Hardy said it represented a pattern of missed calls (Hardy’s video was later removed for violating YouTube’s Terms of Service).
“Herb needs to understand that there was a mistake here, and needs to take responsibility for what needs to be done,” Hardy said. “It’s just a learning opportunity, and if it’s not taken as a learning opportunity, we will all lose, especially the fighters and the brain cells. … We need to raise the awareness of some of these officers, and we also need to hold them accountable for such situations when they cannot take responsibility for themselves. “
This past month, appearing to focus his attention on returning to the hearty octagon, he called Pte Matt Brown, who was determined to fight before his condition, known as Wolf Heart Syndrome, and pulled him out of the fight. Was. Brown was replaced by Diego Lima, and Hardy backed one-time title challenger Nick Diaz, who has not fought since 2015. Diaz’s fight is not over yet.
