While Nottingham native Dan Hardy may not have the shining records of the Georges St. Pierres or Johny Hendricks of the world, it€™s still pretty impressive at 25-10-1 with 12 of his wins coming by knock out. It€™s his ability to star in exciting fights that makes not only fans love him but the company bosses too. After Hardy had suffered four losses in a row, Lorenzo Fertitta was asked if he was going to be cut from the roster. Fertitta dismissed this idea immediately stating how he loved Hardy€™s €˜wars€™. As Hardy is an extremely exciting fighter, we€™d be certain that playing as him would give us some great slug-fests. Hardy is known for having great boxing and a mean left hook; it'd be awesome to see it used on the fighters he never got to fight in his career. A match with the equally exciting and vastly improved Robbie Lawler would be one of our favourite match-ups to make were we to play Joe Silva for the day.

The likelihood of Hardy appearing in the game is also pretty high due to his work with the UFC as a colour commentator for their Fight Pass exclusive events. Also, with Hardy still awaiting medical clearance after discovering he suffers from Wolff€“Parkinson€“White syndrome, we may see him return to the real octagon as well as potentially making an appearance in the virtual one. His memorable look would also make The Outlaw an excellent addition to the game, with his iconic hair and flamboyant tattoos.
