Fighter Futures: Dan Hardy

I still think a move to Strikeforce would do Dan Hardy good, but his win at UFC146 insures him sticking around for another fight. Dan is still two wins away from being considered a title contender, so winning needs to be his priority. For his next appearance I would like to see Dan matched up with Rick Story. After winning six straight, Story, has dropped his last two fights and is set to face Papi Abedi next month. The timing could place a Story/Hardy bout on the UFC Nottingham card September 29th. It would give Dan a chance to fight in front of his home crowd and prove he really belongs inside the octagon, while Rick Story will be coming in 0-3 or 1-2 in his last three, not a position he wants. Wins would benefit either man and with jobs likely on the line it would guarantee excitement.
