What to do with Dan Hardy?

Lately Dan Hardy has been in a rut, but the question remains should he be cut from the UFC if he drops his fifth fight in a row? I propose a different route for the welterweight: send him to Strikeforce. With the recent signing of Nate Marquardt, now set to face Tyron Woodley for the vacant welterweight title, much needed life is being pumped into a division that has experienced a void left behind by Nick Diaz. Hardy has proven he is an exciting fighter and moving to Strikeforce would allow him to remain with Zuffa while giving him an opportunity to return to his winning ways. If he grabs a win over Duane Ludwig he will still be 1-4 in his last five. It is most likely only a matter of time before Strikeforce is absorbed by the UFC but its welterweights are gaining momentum, and Dan needs that.
