After losing four straight fights in the UFC, many thought Dan Hardy was living on borrowed time as a Zuffa-employed fighter going into UFC 146.
That still may be true, but Hardy certainly bought himself some time last night when he knocked out Duane “Bang” Ludwig with a solid left hook that sent the muay thai specialist crashing to the mat in the very first round.
Now that Hardy is coming off of arguably the most impressive win of his UFC career, it won’t get any easier for “The Outlaw,” and it may not be long before he finds himself competing against the welterweight division’s elite once again.
