I never intended on fighting past a UFC contract. When I was on that four-fight losing streak, and I was considering stepping away, I wasn\u2019t thinking of going anywhere else. I was thinking about studying philosophy at university, a complete directional change. I always felt like my career, as far as professional MMA, would start and finish with the UFC.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Dan Hardy continued:<\/p>\n<p id=\"6UUjWQ\">&#8220;But then admittedly, I didn\u2019t expect it to continue on so long after me being a fighter. I\u2019d not really considered the idea of being an analyst or commentator. So I\u2019m very thankful for that time and that opportunity. But it\u2019s weird, because I\u2019m still very much in professional MMA and do want to be. I love commentating and analyzing and training fighters. But now I\u2019m right on the outside of the UFC for the first time in, well, forever. Before I was unknown to the UFC, and then I was under UFC contract from 2008, and now I\u2019m just not a part of it at all, with efforts to properly exclude me in every way possible, which feels really odd as well, because I don\u2019t feel like any of it is warranted.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_357160\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-357160\" style=\"width: 696px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-357160\" src=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/Dan-Hardy-3.png\" alt=\"Dan Hardy\" width=\"696\" height=\"399\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/Dan-Hardy-3.png 696w, https:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/Dan-Hardy-3-300x172.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-357160\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Image via @danhardymma on Instagram \/ @raptorsmma<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Prior to his relationship with the Ultimate Fighting Championship going South, Dan Hardy says the promotion had offered him comeback fights against fan favorites in Joe Lauzon and Jim Miller. However, &#8216;The Outlaw&#8217; turned down both of those offers, as he really had no interest in punching either man in the face.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If I\u2019m only fighting one or two more fights, I want to want to fight the guy,&#8221; he said. &#8220;There a lot of guys on the roster, and I literally just don\u2019t want to punch Joe Lauzon in the face. It\u2019s as simple as that. As a fighter and a contractor, I should have some choice in that, I feel, especially at this point in my career, where you know for sure I\u2019m not contending for a belt, and I\u2019ve said that all the way through. I don\u2019t want to be fighting people that are still in the mix, because I respect the mix enough to know that I\u2019m not in it. But either let me fight someone else that\u2019s not in the mix, or let me go.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The UFC ultimately granted Dan Hardy his <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/dan-hardy\/dan-hardy-confirms-he-has-been-officially-released-from-the-ufc\/\">request for freedom<\/a> and the 38-year-old is now fielding offers as a free agent. Based on his comments, it sounds as though &#8216;The Outlaw&#8217; is interested in competing in Japan if he does return to fighting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf I\u2019m daydreaming, I can see myself fighting someone like [Takanori] Gomi in RIZIN,\u201d Hardy said. \u201cThat would be a lot of fun. I know [Shinya] Aoki\u2019s moving around weight classes in ONE, but I don\u2019t think I\u2019d be able to get down to 170 to be walking around on Fight Week.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former UFC welterweight title challenger Dan Hardy was officially released by the promotion last week after requesting his dismissal. &#8216;The Outlaw&#8217; was granted his release from a nine-year old contract with the UFC, this after his relationship with Dana White and company went sour.
