This may look like a longshot to some and is nothing more than Dan's say on the matter after talking to a doctor that works with UFC UK, but to a delusional dreamer like me it's almost like a fight announcement :)

And if I read between the lines properly, he's kinda hinting the UFC's been touching and going about that specific matchup ...

Everyone wants Diego Sanchez 'cause he's the worst fighter in the UFC who actually has name and ranking value for some reason.

Yup ... and the reason he still has ranking value is because he won a ****load of fights he actually lost :)

I still think the name value has been earned though ...

I think the reason so many Brits are are calling for Sanchez is because of the Pearson fight.

I think we would of seen a lot of Danes call out Sanchez after the Kampmann fight except I don't think there where any Danish fighters in the UFC at that time.

I think it's just because Diego hasn't won a fight since 2010, so it's an easy win along with a likely FOTN bonus.

Diego Sanchez is Leonard Garcia if he was physically coordinated.

meh i don't like it and i say that as Tap's biggest Dan Hardy fan . i hope he just retires i like him as a commentator and there is no health risk doing that . he also was just in a interview about 3 days ago he's in no hurry to fight anytime  soon so idk .

""I still have a vision of getting back into the octagon and later next year will be the perfect time as, having moved back here from Las Vegas, now is not the right time."

"Also, because I am working as an analyst at shows with the UFC, I am very busy right now and enjoying every minute of it."


Sadly Hardys best days are behind him  this layoff plus his Health i dont even think he can beat Diego tbh hell he couldn't finish Amir and he beat an old Ludwig who should of already been retired for his last finish . the outlaw will always be my all time favorite no other man or women will get me at the edge of my seat like he did but i really don't wanna see him fight anymore he's just gonna Rack up losses at this point .

plus would anyone argue if Diego got cut after his next loss ? everyone you talk too thinks he hasn't won a fight convincingly since 2009  if dan comes back and loses to him that's pretty bad .

Athletes are always the most hopeful people when it comes to getting medically cleared for something. As much as I was to see Dan fight again, I'm not going to hold my breath.

1. His condition was there when he fought too, no immediate risk to his health, it's more a "on the safe side" thing. Also, since it was discovered he hasn't actually applied, so he may be approved providing the proper documentation of the situation (that he now has) from doctors.

2. He said these things after talking to the doctor that works with UFC UK so he may be approved for a UK card, as he said, they're motivated by different reasons there and not just on a "cover our asses" basis, so maybe with more in-depth inspection he can be deemed safe to fight.

3. No way on earth he loses to Sanchez. Diego doesn't beat technical strikers ... at least not in reality, if he can mean mug the judges into giving him a decision, that's something else.

4. I said in the main post that I'm a delusional dreamer so everything I wrote is true in my eyes and I cannot be swayed on this :))))))

I'd still like Hardy vs Alves.

@gunn .. He had the health risk the whole time he was fighting in the UFC, you saying you would have never liked to see him fight? And how do you know his best days are behind him? He was radically improved for his fight vs Ludwig and Sadollah.

Thiago , i know he's had it back then too but idk just worried about his health  and lol Sadollah is terrible and Ludwig was done at that point and should have already been retired i was happier then a kid in a candy store when he won those fights but i mean come on he was suppose to win them they were pretty one sided  .

@Gunn,


Sadollah has only been finished once and it was ******** stoppage to Johnny Hendricks of all people. He ate a bomb from hendricks and then several more and still was attempting to stand. Sadollah is very hard to finish, so that is no knock on Hardy for not getting the finish.

Why am I getting down arrow for speaking the truth? Amir only been finished once. He is hard to finish. Not saying he good, but he is hard to finish. Yes, Hendricks would/did beat him, but that stoppage was a ******** one. Amir was getting back up as the fight was stopped. Not sure what I said that was not accurate, I think people getting little butthurt about the truth.

oh I don't give a ****, I just think it funny that people get so butthurt over the truth. Which is Amir is hard to finish and that no knock on Hardy for not being able to do so and that the stoppage to Hendrick was a ******** one.

Tbh I think the Sanchez hate is greatly exaggerated because hes won some decisions he shouldn't have, he's still quite a good fighter.. He's beaten some top guys like Diaz, Florian, Stevenson, Kampmann, Paulo Thiago and Pearson and had a really close fight with Fitch the ***** and sure you can argue he didn't win a few of them but they were still really close fights. He's only lost to good fighters.
