Welterviktaren Dan Hardy har inte gått match sedan vinsten mot Amir Sadollah i november 2012 på grund av hjärtproblem (Hardy lider av Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrom). Då det är ovisst om Hardy kommer att kunna fightas i framtiden på grund av sitt tillstånd har han tagit på sig uppdraget att vara expertkommentator på de galor som visas på Fight Pass.
Så här skrev Hardy i ett officiellt uttalande om det nya jobbet:
I’m very excited to be putting on the headset for the UFC. I’ve got the same nerves and butterflies that I had when I first signed for the company as a fighter back in 2008. I think I can bring a great perspective to the color commentator’s role. Researching and breaking down UFC fighters and fights is what I’ve been doing for over 10 years now, only now I am not just concentrating on my own division, but every division. I’ve packed a lot of experience into my 10 fights in the UFC, and I’m looking forward to sharing that experience and insight with the fans.
