Former UFC welterweight Dan Hardy says that he was “disappointed” to learn the UFC blocked Georges St-Pierre from boxing Oscar de la Hoya.<\/p>\n

We found out last week that UFC president Dana White shut down GSP vs. de la Hoya after not taking phone calls from Triller executive Ryan Kavanaugh. GSP himself confirmed that the fight was blocked and that he was upset because he wanted to have a fun fight with one of his idols in de la Hoya and then give most of the money to charity. But White refused to let St-Pierre out of his UFC contract to join the Triller Fight Club promotion.<\/p>\n

We heard from Anderson Silva this week, who said it was “terrible” that the UFC blocked GSP from fighting de la Hoya in boxing<\/a>. Now we have heard from Dan Hardy, who took to his social media<\/a> on Thursday to say he was “disappointed” to hear that the fight was blocked.<\/p>\n

\n

What are your thoughts on #GSP<\/a> being denied the opportunity to fight de la Hoya?<\/p>\n

I\u2019m kinda disappointed… especially knowing that he and #Khabib<\/a> wanted to face one another, and that was shut down as well. <\/p>\n

Would have been a real superfight.<\/p>\n
