Dan Hardy is a former UFC fighter, commentator, and fight analyst.
In this episode we discuss Dan's start in martial arts, his entry into professional MMA, his career in the UFC, his retirement due to a heart condition, his transition to the commentary table, his desire to continue to compete, his journey into psychedelics and much much much more.
Superb conversation 👏
'You dont submit someone, you force them to surrender. You dont win a decision, you dominate your opponent. You dont stop your opponent with strike, you render them defenceless. This vocabulary cultivates efficient conclusions.' That's some straight up art of war shit.
This really is some art of war shit what’s the time stamp?

00000.
I could listen to these two talk about martial arts all day long- what a great, flowing conversation. Both listening and allowing the other to speak, no one upmanship or bragging. 3hrs 48 minutes long and I listened to it all in one session. This was a class interview.
This is a ridiculously underrated podcast. Conversations flow so well! And this episode in particular was just brilliant!!! GREAT WORK!
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
It took me about a week to finish this podcast on my free time and even driving to work. EXCELLENT WORK!
You learn more in this conversation than 5 years in high school. Keepin it real 🌎🧙♂️💯
Very glad I came across this. Great conversation. Dan's philosophy on combat is so fascinating.
This popped up recommended after watching some Full Reptile.....3hrs went mad fast. Great Interviewer, just letting the convo flow. 2 Thumbs up
Great interview...
Outstanding.
I too have been drawn to warrior's life. In 2002 I left martial arts and joined the marines to be a real infantryman. I am still alive and have just realized how my brain has been working. I am brought to tears about what Dan said about we can perceive fear and that's enough to make us behave like victim. I feel strong in a way I have struggled with, to be at peace in peace. To leave my war behind me. To forgive myself. I am still alive
Possibly the best podcast ive ever heard
My favourite podcast I've ever listened to I can tell im going to come back to this one for years to come, thankyou.
Great interview.
One of the best ever podcasts 👏
What a discovery- Deep thoughtful and intelligent conversation between fighters/martial artists. What representatives of our world you chaps are, thanks so much for the great work. I’ve just discovered you and I’m sure your channel will grow into something huge. Respect
Thank you. Much appreciated 🙏🏼
Took me a few days but finally finished this, really good podcast!
One of the best podcast episodes I've ever listened to and I've listened to loads!! Wish it was 8hrs long 😂👍🏻👏
This was nuts! In a good way.
Rogan can learn something from this conversation. This was a legit one, listened to the whole thing.
Dan Hardy is an incredible martial artist and now one the the best fight analysts. Fun interview.
This is a fantastic conversation that I feel enriched by, and am grateful for being allowed to witness. Thankyou. 7/10 sounds like psychological control through dominance, explored with clarity of mind, recognizing that another person's perception may render one's "act" effective, without the necessity to enforce with violence of action. Please bring more - many more - free form conversations. Slainte bhah.
Just watched this in one sitting - (nearly) four hours very well spent!
Amazing podcast, almost 4 hours went by like 20 mins. I love Dan's outlook and approach to life in general. Great interviewer as well, lots to think about, cheers guys 👍
Well worth the 4 hours, top conversation, Dan hardy has a lot of wisdom to share, looking forward to the book
Oh yes! Heard the shout out of your conversation with Jimmy on the Full Reptile channel, not disappointed to see Dan here as well
If there is an award for best 2021 podcast interview this is it
cuvitroit. it itie icnnnntricpcncvc a bit of the I just want you it’s in my head that I’m really struggling and I’m trying it to I can’t it’s its fault I’m in a bad way I can’t wait to see my baby and
That was a fantastic podcast. Dan is a philosopher-warrior. Will check out some of your other episodes
good shit!
love the 7 out of 10 rule. Dan Hardy is a genius.. Great postcast mate!!
Dan you’re a fantastic interviewer
Great convo! Kinda makes me wish I had a British accent …
Dan getting let go by the UFC might be the best thing that could have happened to him...with him being a free agent he can pursue more personally fulfilling things, I'm new to MMA and stumbling across Dans videos on youtube has made me appreciate the sport and the fighters more than I might have otherwise Great podcast, I could have listened for another 4 hrs
Many people view fighters as "apes" whereas, especially at the upper echelons, fighters can be some of the wisest out there
This was brilliant 🙌
Amazing podcast dan, keep up the good work.
Fascinating conversation on the martial arts, philosophically, historically, and more. Not much fluff and tangents on other irrelevant topics. Superb podcast gentlemen. Osss!
Fantastic conversation
Absolutely awesome podcast! Thank you! I found a new respect and admiration for Dan
I mean this in the best way, your method of wanting someone to take it down a tangent is fantastic. You're at rogans level, minus when he takes over and interrupts and steers it where he wants. Great conversationalist.
Great discussion lads. Even flash bulbed me back to my Oldest martial arts memories
Top tier content 👌
Absolutely brilliant
I never listen to whole episodes especially not ones that are nearly 4 hours, but THIS was fucking worth it. Awesome episode Dan(s)!
Great episode.
Fucking loved this. Especially the discussion about human nature, violence and youth crime. No one ever talks about the outlets, just stifling and taming problems
What a phenomenal interview
Truly fascinating. Thank you for sharing.
I really resonated with the conversations about not shunning the animalistic side of you, but embracing it as a human in this world, not as a person in this society. Really cool talk boys!
Exceptional 👍👏👏
Great work fellas. Enjoy the content very interesting topics salute 💯💪🏽
Great listen , thanks for these Dan
iv got work to do lads but im 2 hours in and not gonna stop until its done. barstudz! tremendous conversation. thank you
Nice stuff mate, love from north east England
Awesome podcast 💪
Dan took a week off so this is warranted.
Awesome,only took 2 years..great listen🤟
What a great conversation 👌🏼
What a fucking podcast Dan you're the man really look up to you
Awesome! Still chuckling at the thought of Dana having full reptile dysfunction.
This is excellent, well done 👍
great stuff - wallhead one was killer too
Bravo 👏👏👏
awesome chat thanks
Awesome conversation. Particularly the psychology of Mammalian and Reptilian brain. So cool.
Great konversation!!! 💪🙏Thx
Respect Dan he fought gsp is in that best ever chat....dan a awesome mma personalitie
Brillant podcast.
Every time I watch Dan Hardy I make sure to go out and hunt and fish afterwards!!!!
Fuckin aye this is proper
i remember fist of fury the movie had a massive up take in combat sports in ireland 70s kempo was big mick travers parnell square carzy times
Algorithm/great job, new sub comment 👌
Dan isn’t one of the best commentators he s by far the best. He breaks down the moves for turkeys like me to even understand
Good shit
Great recent example would be Ryan hall getting put to sleep he apparently is working hard on his stand up in training but tends towards his bjj in fights which worked until it didn’t
Now i know why this is my favorite British fighter, he likes Pantera!
Warrior philosopher
“Festina Lente” Latin adage meaning “to make haste slowly”
Great podcast. Next time ask him what he thinks about "STOP THE FIGHT" becoming such a meme lol
Very good podcast love Dan Hardy! Great attitude, he said it more money and more brain cells... also the more peeps see that there is money to be made at the UFC they would have more recruit. At the moment it looks like a fast track to bumness.
Great work. You are a mashine! Hope your doing Good. Are u stil with Nick btw? All the best from your favorite country 🇩🇪😄
Great podcast. Are you deliberately cutting to a close up of yourself side eyeing the laptop again and again ?
Hahaha. I’m not. The camera I use automatically cuts between both of us and wide angle. It senses movement and sound, so when I’m checking the recording is going ok it might pick that up.
@@raspberryape thought it might be automatic, either that or an editor with a sense of humour:) seriously though if it’s automatically cutting between three views from one camera based on movement, gestures/head movement 99% of the time it’s doing a great job
Dan - Didn’t realize you fought Mike Swick - I’d have paid to see you kick his butt. Something about him grates on my nerves...
Just bc he trained with Cane, Luke, DC & Khabib - doesn’t mean Swick is a great fighter - his choppers appear to be the result of someone kicking him in the face...
Really good podcast. Have to say that when he mentions that eating meat is a part of us...our ancestors were vegans before they went on to start eating meat so that comment was a little out there.
Our ancestors were also single celled organisms, how far back do you want to go? Early humans have relied extensively on meat for over 2.5 million years. So yes, eating meat is absolutely part of us.
We found the vegan lol
So nobody is gana talk about how this dude was literally living in the karate kid movie
Boss
Hardy is the G.o.a.t.
Dan Hardy is a very introspective person his cognitive exploration is interesting. Would of liked him to of told more about what happened with the ufc employee
There isn't much better for recovery, or fasting for that matter, than drinking your urine. To recover from an injury you do both Shivambhu and fast, it repairs everything.
Must if been nice to pick Dan’s brain
I had to unlike this so I could like it again
Squishy
what the fuck ufc owe him money 20k to fight gsp less than min wage man
@@Ooo0990 init 3 and 3 by sounds of it even 1 n 1 earlier and its was more brutal then most are prop disables now imagine getting 1 fight and getting injured for life woulda made more money 1 month at walmart ;/
