Dan Hardy has really carved out a name for himself as an announcer and analyst for UFC programming on FOX Sports 1 and UFC Fight Pass.
But the former welterweight title contender still has that itch to fight again.
Hardy appeared on Wednesday night’s edition of “UFC Tonight” to discuss where he is at in regards to a return.
“I’d very much like to. I have a few fights left on my contract,” he said. “I need to get cleared by a doctor and I’m in the process of getting cleared. I’d just jump in for some fun fights. I’m a lot lighter than I used to be. I’m closer to walking on the scales at 170. I fought twice at 160 and it was a comfortable weight for me. I was always so much quicker and agile when I was lighter.
“I think 155 would be better for me now. I’m not interested in belts. I’d like to be challenged and tested by people I look up to.”
Hardy, now 34 years old, was diagnosed with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome after his 2012 win over Amir Sadollah. That was the last time he fought inside the Octagon.
