Dan Hardy is a legend. Inside and outside the octagon. Real mma fans will never forget The Outlaw.
And his red mohawk 🔥
Crazy
He's a cool guy, fun to listen to, but he was no legend as a fighter.
@@snoutymanyeah, I've watched all his fights, He had that dawg in him though, and he could crack your chin that's for sure, Sometimes fighters that have heart and leave their soul in the octagon are way more entertaining to watch even if they are not that high level.
I have so much respect for Dan Hardy.
No man alive can break a fight down like Hardy, his attention to detail and the nuances of the sport, hes the best at it.
Dan is an absolute legend of the sport. One of the best MMA brains out there for sure. And a gentleman.
Dan did so much for MMA. From being a big star in Europe to challenging for UFC title. And chapter after fighting career may be even more interesting. He is really passionate about MMA.
Dan hardy is a legend! Not some pub trivia fighter forsure. Wish he got to fight one last time in the UFC, he trained for it and they didnt want to let him fight another vet and dragged their feet the whole time
It had nothing to do with the UFC Dan couldn't pass a medical he was diagnosed with a heart condition
Honest question Why is he a legend? Dude fought for the title and lost nothing special is it cuz he was a popular UK fighter? My favorite fighter was always Martin Kampman but he's not a legend.
@@shootermcgavin6610 I agree - I will say he is one of the best at breaking down fighter style and strategy along with Dom Cruz.
Dan v GSP for UFC 300
@shootermcgavin6610 he's a uk mma legend i suspect that what was meant
Dan is a certified savage. We haven’t forgot
So much love and respect for Dan
Dan Hardy is one of my most favourite MMA figures to listen to. Such an intelligent person.
The OUTLAW, love his breakdowns, and his MMA carrier back in the day! Living Legend!!
could listen to Dan for ages-so much knowledge
I think ONE should sign this man into their commentary. Love his insight and breakdown on fight! It's will be a big boost for ONE!
ONE FC should have more American Events. That would help with exposure alot.
love his style! Legend
Dan making me feel old talking about McGreggor fans being classed as old fans.
Dan Hardy! What a guy! Long live the Outlaws!!
Dan is the man!!! Met him a few times now and always a gentleman!
Dan Hardy is well spoken, loved watching him fight and he’s a great commentator also, best of luck to you and your wife
Can you imagine the UFC firing him? One of the most well spoken people in history and they fired him? 😮
One of my earliest memories of MMA (actually watching it) was a pre fight interview with dan hardy and his red mohawk talking about how he didnt kind being scared before a fight because being scared made him fight better 👌 never forgot that I was like 13 at the time
Even in defeat Dan showed who he is against Chris Lytle. I love that fight!
I'm a fan of Dan Hardy. I enjoy listening to him talk about fight game
Congrats #DanHardy, such a Legend
Great combat IQ and mind 👏
Lost all credibility when he talked up his wife that she can beat everyone in her division. Absolute nonsense. She will get destroyed in her next fight! She is not good at all!!
@matrix35 you lost respect for him because he supports his wife??? 🤡 what a man you must be 🔥
@@Know3ody Matrix35 suffers from that little human quirk where we ignore 99 good things and focus on the one bad thing. Its like those people who agree with 80% of what someone says, but the moment they say something they disagree with and they dislike them. Matrix is doing that here for sure.
how can you not love Dan
Dana don’t
@@gringopapi530thats an indication that hardy is doing something right 😅
23:45 Lee Murray
Thanks lol
my uncle took me to peacock gym when i was a kid and lee was there had no idea who he was at the time
Thank you so much, I came here just for that part
Legend of the game
Is that a Chase ‘n Status teeshirt? Baddadan, or issit Dan’s ?
Drenched in Guinness!! My Man!!! Guiness is good 4 yahhh
Great collab lads
KZhead is the MMA hall of fame
Dan is just an awesome solid good man.
Dude that shirt Is 🔥 Brings me back to my club days. Good luck to V this December and continued success to you both. Love you guys.
Thank you for talking about Lee Murray
When does he talk about Lee mate?
@@jlovesmith3792 23:45
A true Martial Artist MASTER ! UUUUSSSSSSS🥊🥋🏋🏻♂️
That Lee Murray doc is CRAZY!!!! He got ROYALLY SCREWED! Ariel I hope you give it air time that Lee should be pardoned by now!
Criminal who was assaulting people and robbed bank. There were kids as well and if it is normal to have kids as hostages you guys are crazy
I'm getting the torrent now, sounds good, I've seen the doc on you tube about the heist but that weren't all that.
@@EugeakaEugenehe wasn't assaulting people, he hurt no one in that robbery, yes he kidnapped the kid and the wife but the kid part was just thrown in at last second and they couldn't go back. He should've definitely gone to prison for a long term which he did, everyone involved is out whereas he's still in there in of the worst prison in the world serving 25 year sentence which is more than what murderers and pedos get there. He's paid the price tbh
Fr catching lightning was absolutely brilliant, highly recommend it to everyone
@@coaldust01I highly recommend it
Dan hardy is one of the biggest losses for the ufc they should pf never let him go!?
him and my guy Tyron Woodley, both of them are the best analyst in the game
The outlaw is my favourite style of fighter, and the mo hawk will always be bad ass.
Dan Come to Copenhagen! Soon :)
Big up Notts.
Ariels crackin voice “ Ohh Jeez Luis Guy”
kinda looks like he would make for a good TV show him Main Character as a new age savvy looking Viking warrior from the future
Love hearing from Michael bispings little brother Mr spam lardy
This conversations is so damn good/interesting. Thank you.
*herb dean fault*
So happy for Dan and so happy for MMA. More organisations, more good fighters, more diversity. Is the way forward. Monopoly is never good.
That shirt 👌👌
Dan Hardy
Dans t shirt is dope
Badadan badadan badadan
Are Bellator fighters now going to be PFL fighters? That is not clear to me. Dan said that Bellator's not going away....what, that means the PFL execs are going to run two separate orgs? That makes no sense.
felder did the same but dana likes him lol
They let Dan off the hook at first, but there was some other issue apparently
Dan is the very best - totally top notch. Moral compass seems to be properly aligned.
To what/,whom do we owe the pleasure? Always a treat to pick the brain of The Outlaw. Sweet💯💨
DAN V GSP for UFC 300
No one talking about the mental side of fighting johny bones..it is not easy
*STOP THE FIGHT*
Which he was correct in yelling lol
*herb dean fault*
😂😂😂
Slight correction boys, you were going in almost the right direction but Dan wasn't fighting for Cage Warriors in 1995, plus he never fought for them in the USA. He did fight Pat Healy at Absolute Fighting Championships in Oct '04 , only otherb time he fought in the US 1before the UFC was for a compay called Fightfest 2 in Ohio against a dude called Forrest Petz. Then the Bisping v Leben fight from Birmingham wasn't in 1989 lads it was October 2008 and Leben got popped for PEDs for that fight. I know they've got a massive libary of fights in their head but I'm surprised Dan got it so wrong. Anyway imo i think Dan was turning out to be one the best MMA analysts for the UFC, both him and Bisping have turned out far better as they've got more experience, while the others are too wrestling centric like DC and Cruz, although DC is good at spotting and explaining situations, it almost becomes all about the TD, head position and control on the matt, which can get boring. It's why it's improved since Bisping's stand up knowledge is there to show the set ups and what fighters are looking to land withnb feints and foot position etc, even if they don't always land etc. Also I like Felder on, but I don't think he speaks enough about his stand up knowledge when the fights are happeningb like Bisping but I think that's just Mike's personality and he dopesn't get his wwords out quick enough by whoever he's paired with.
Outlaw in tha house
How is Dan not working forthe UFC
💯💯
12:28 in Fi Thailand?
13:00 Fi Thailand again?
UFC made a BIG mistake letting Dan go!
I am french and Dan hardy got the wrong picture here, fans did not give a f doumbe was a glory champion, he became a so called "super star" just because of his youtube channel.
Thank you for that context, that makes a lot more sense
Frère, si tu connaissais déjà les sports de combat ; tu kiffais Doumbe. Il était déjà drôle et mettait que des KO. C’est le grand public qui l’a découvert parce qu’il est drôle et présent sur les réseaux sociaux. Mais son passé de champion le met en valeur. Les français s’y intéressent.
Kinda sad he never did that comeback fight.
Where's Uncle D at?
Its not a shocker. Those of us in the business have known this for months.
I knew for years
I knew for decades
I knew for centuries
i knew for a millennium
I've always known
Ufc dropped one letting Dan go.
He won't stop banging the "Independent MMA Hall of Fame" drum, will he? Of course it's a nice concept, but who would be responsible for it, what would it look like, how would they fund it, market it, where would they put it? This is not a business idea, it's a kid's whim.
I'll host it in my gaff the first Tuesday of spring, the wife will make the sandwiches. Parking might be an issue so carpool
it will be great to have a good alternative to UFC. Getting really tired of their bs.
While pfl is only holding 8 events a year the ufc is doing 47 events a year!! There is no comparison!! UFC is the more elite organization by far!!!
One has been around for 30 years the other one year.
if you want to make money you pick 2 guys with good youtube channels from the same country and you make them fight each other, it does not really matter if they can fight or not, people will tune in, and if the buying model to watch the event was through youtube, you make billions with this crap..
Crazy how everyone hated this dude during his run, but is loved by all mma fans today. What a legend.
Inoki vs Ali was massive albeit the most boring thing I have ever watched.
I wonder if sometimes Hardy gets mistaken for Post Malone..
Are you alright, bud? They do not look like the same person what so ever. Post has tattoos all over his face for god sake. Come on.

Hardy sounds like hes got the lergy ur nose dont drip when uve had an arm triangle on ur throat in the morning, 😂
3m
Dan hardys the man. Still cant believe that dana let him go. What a shame.
Ariel the 🐀🐀🐀🐀
This channel gets so many views from just sending me here after half my videos. I unsubbed awhile ago becuase I got tired of the whining about Dana White lol
Who is this guy?
Dan Hardy.
Ariel is banned from events of the sport he covers for betrayal and Dan Hardy got thrown out of the UFC for abusing woman, it is only natural that these two team up.
Troll.
Betrayal 😂 because he asked the questions no one else wants to and dan called someone out for being useless 😂
Dan's brand was getting too big and was too outspoken about mma, ariel leaked the lesnar 200 return and got banned haha and was a baby about it
Dan hardy 👎
He did not walk out of the ufc , they sacked him cause he cant keep his cool when his friends are fighting
Again that's incorrect....
@@dcarson89 again ? I've never spoke to u before 🤣 so go on what happened ??
@@dcarson89 silence says it all ... Weirdo
@@onlyinthailand88 Imao
@Mr-E. ha ok some of us have lives so I'm not on KZhead all day praying for responses, you seem like you're about 11 so I'll take a pass on this discussion
Dan Hardy @chaseandStatus and Bou_dnb with the Badadan tshirt
Pfl roster so weak they scared signing someone will weight it towards them. Dans a bum never was good
