Who would not want payback for the only person that knocked them out? Absolutely.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of who it is that Hardy goes up against, it does feel like there&#8217;s a growing momentum within his fanbase to see him commit to a comeback &#8211; even at the age of 38.<\/p>\n<p>Would Dan Hardy get his hand raised in a Carlos Condit rematch?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UFC analyst and former fighter Dan Hardy has given his thoughts on the upcoming rematch between Dustin Poirier and Conor McGregor at UFC 257.
