08/05/08 - Fighters Only Exclusive: Dan Hardy Signs with the UFC

Top British welterweight Dan Hardy (19-6-0) has signed a four-fight deal with the Ultimate Fighting Championship, Fighters Only can exclusively reveal.

Sources close to Hardy and the UFC said the organisation intends to make Dan "as big as Michael Bisping", although no official announcement of the deal has been made as yet.

It was recently reported that Hardy was on the verge of signing a lucrative deal with EliteXC, home to Kimbo Slice and hardy's stablemate Paul Daley.

However, negotiations with the UFC continued and the deal was finalised in recent weeks with Hardy expected to make his first UFC appearance some time in the autumn.

Hardy recently returned from a successful outing in a Japanese tournament and has beaten UFC veteran Chad Reiner and tough European welterweight Daniel Wiechel in recent weeks.

Neither Hardy nor his management were available to comment on the deal at the time of going to press.

Its kind of odd for the UFC to be signing new talent when they reportedly want to reduce thier roster by 25%, im all up for a new up n comer tho. Wonder who they'll feed to him first

New, up and coming EXCITING fighters will still be signed by the UFC. Seems to me like they are just ridding us of the boring, fight not to lose fighters.

Ive heard really good things about this guy though and the highlight reel is impressive. Cant wait to see some new faces
