Dan Hardy has not fought since September of 2012 on UFC on Fuel TV, where he beat Amir Sadollah by decision. Since then, the Englishman was diagnosed with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome and had to step away from the sport.<\/p>\n

However, fast forward to 2019 and Dan Hardy is now eyeing a return to the Octagon.<\/p>\n

Back in 2018, he said he was medically cleared to compete<\/a> but did not say if he would compete again. Now, speaking on the Joe Rogan Experience<\/a>, Dan Hardy says he has re-entered the USADA drug-testing pool and is potentially eyeing another fight.<\/p>\n

\u201cRight now what I\u2019m going to do is get back in the USADA testing pool,\u201d Dan Hardy said. \u201cI have to be in the pool for four months. Once I\u2019m in the pool for four months, then I have the option to fight if I choose to.\u201d<\/p>\n

Something Dan Hardy is having a hard time with is the fact that for USADA to test him, he needs to list where he is at all times. But, given his work with the UFC<\/a>, he mentions the fact that he is always in different places so he has been talking to Jeff Novitzky about it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe problem is that I\u2019m on the road all the time,\u201d Dan Hardy said. \u201cThe conversation I\u2019ve had with Jeff Novitsky is, I don\u2019t know exactly how it works. But, as far as I know, you have to give (USADA) three addresses. These are the places you\u2019re most likely to be at. And if you\u2019re not at any of those places, you have to let them know where you are. I\u2019m always in a different place.\u201d<\/p>\n

Whether or not Dan Hardy will fight again remains to be seen. But, him entering the USADA pool is at least a sign he wants to, as he mentions. He could not fight until the four months are up and assuming he entered in August, he would be eligible in December.<\/p>\n

If Dan Hardy does return, who would you like to see him fight? Sound off in the comment section, PENN Nation!<\/p>\n
