I know Dan Hardy turned down a UFC contract earlier in his career because he thought he wasn't ready yet.

@AnAlias .. Really? Interesting. I like the way Hardy is now taking time to train.. etc going to train with GSP and that... Hope he comes back better than ever.

Manuwa actually turned down a ufc contract twice. He said he needed time to work on his bjj and wrestling. Hes also been dealing with multiple injuries which is why he hasnt been active this year.
