Had the pleasure of interviewing Dan over the phone today and just stumbled on this. Fascinating guy and brilliant character in MMA. Glad he found punditry/analysis as a new pursuit to follow

[@captainspaulding4010]

I will always be a supporter of The Outlaw. Respect from New Zealand.

[@trinity3422]

The like to dislike ratio is insane on this and Hardy deserves every bit of love he’s received for his contributions to this fight game, I wonder a lot of the same questions with my life. I take comfort in knowing I’m not alone tho 💯

[@rootsofold]

He seems more at peace nowadays, and Im happy for him!

[@prizefighter07]

That evil smile at 15:14 damnn. Hope to see you again in the octagon dan

[@lizardywizard]

same as when the Rover 827 kicks down to pass on the dual carriageway. So much power in one foot - feels scary - must be similar to being Dan - obviously Dan wouldn't have the gorgeous velour accents. (but he does have a Nottingham one instead.)

[@thomasschmidt2394]

i met dan in las vegas... dude was super cool man.. such a nice guy!!

[@s111stock]

Dan is awesome. Thinking man's fighter... not just a meathead.

[@Ангел1389]

A fighter or not is a good soul, his eyes betray him... Good person -)

[@terra2805]

Dan is a true warrior! He never fails to put on exciting fights, win, lose or draw. I hope and prey that we see him fight in the UFC again! Personally, I don't necessarily see his "wolfheart" condition as an "unfair" advantage. He still gets tired, even though he has one of the best cardio levels in the UFC, he can still get knocked out or submitted too. I think writing off his career because he has an irregular heartbeat, or 2 heartbeats, is more than harsh. Good luck Dan! Hope 2 C U back soon

[@IanMcFarlandFilms]

I am so glad you like it bud!

[@smac1577]

I ******* love you, sir!!!!

[@Jerich0FUN]

This is amazing. God, why is this have so little views? The reem documentary has about 90k , but Dan Hardy is much more FIGHTER than Overeem ever was...

[@joegreenberry2756]

Deep highlights.

[@UnclePhillyMyAss]

Will never understand how anyone can dislike this dude. Ill always be a fan no matter what he does. Great, Honest guy

[@667DOOM]

hardy is such an inspiring personality. much respect from germany !

[@MaynardOwns]

Dan is such a bad ass. I would love to see him come back and fight a couple times. He's so fucking young here

[@MrAttilaabri]

From the heart, love it!

[@thecelt4807]

cool dude man . i relate alot to what he thinks about

[@2510-y5z]

Dan is my Hero!

[@S.Turnock]

enjoyed this! interesting compared to most other mma documentaries in the fact they usually have a subject the fighter talks about. (a recent/upcoming fight or opponent, the past troubles/area they are from etc) not sure what it was but there seemed to have a bit more to it in this.

[@ianmcfarland2244]

thanks

[@impaler42]

Dan Hardy was so cool. I was a huge fan of his during his rise. He had a ton of charisma and was just a likeable guy. Its too bad he never reached the heights superstardom that he could have reached had he not went on the losing streak. Honestly think he could have been as popular as Conor. Hoping for a comeback!

[@sergiocelorio5064]

Beautiful film, thanks!!

[@benniemusgrove8271]

One of my faves

[@dwhyte3392]

Really enjoyed this; nice one

[@kenjisteel3059]

Truly awesome film brother..truly awesome..

[@vcacciab]

awesome docu! Cant wait to listen to the rogan podcast with him

[@fleezuschrist7879]

Left hook king 💪

[@snackaombullar]

hardy my mateeee

[@sekon2008]

excellent

[@Dantonwonton]

So full of himself, meeting him is the pinnacle of somebodys life hahha! Please

[@mk25121994]

Dan ''You Know'' Hardy

[@dannyzee4]

Haha made him look like a right psycho at the end with the music. Big up Dan hope he gets that win on April the 20th

[@romangrishin5380]

отличное видео.

[@reecopad]

im growing a dan hardy mohawk for charity

[@ADZ01982]

Great documentary, I can relate to a lof of things Dan said, but hasn't he been diagnosed with a heart condition and possibly not fight again ever ?

[@Peter-ev6eb]

is this the same one that was on vice?

[@mybestfriendlober]

DIdn't know he trained with Frank Mir

[@SHAZPEREZ]

Sincerely agree with comment below

[@onlineidentity6826]

Troubled.

[@jalechrist8389]

dan just suck it up and beat those guys butts!!! buck up ,BUCK UP! lol

[@mattfoley6665]

omg you were a mediocre fighter ..you must be a short guy. narcissistic bs 2 mins in I'm rolling my eyes

[@ventzp2133]

matt foley666 And you must be a hero to everyone you meet

[@Silverwidows]

hmm, like him as a fighter but seems a bit full of himself. I would have gone with "highlight of their day" not life. Also stop going on about your mohawk and tattoo's, half the guys in MMA have tattoos,

[@B1bLioPhil3]

He actually is very humble. Watch some of his new interviews.

[@FUSEDFORCE]

im sorry that was terrible ,

[@El..Stracho]

The Outlaw is a savage.. Very technical fighter and we love him here in the UK. Heart of a lion

[@tommyknockers5492]

That arm bar though..

[@lizardywizard]

Doesn't show enough respect to his British motoring heritage though. Cant get over him choosing a muscle car ahead of a mid to late 90s Cavalier SRi in Black, with nice skirts and spoilers, even though its a front wheel drive, the 144 bhp model looks fit with the cossie style whale tail that Vauxhall offered as a nice option. Mustang my arse.

[@carsons3926]

Dan is an incredible man and fighter. Wish him the best in the future.

[@Oknelokin]

Wow just wow, this guy dosent stop to impress me. So humble and so honest. I really hope he finds whatever hes looking for.

[@tyannealexander6684]

Dan Hardy is a legend I just wish he was still fighting. He always seems to be happy no matter what people are saying about him. Love you Dan hope to see you in the octogon again soon.

[@lutherblissett7873]

wow this is surprisingly well made...

[@andrewrogers9030]

a true artist....he says "im never satisfied with myself i always want to be able to do things better like knock him out quicker"..true artists have that perfectionist tendency nd i hate it and love at the same time

[@Kralja1992]

Dan Hardy is awesome since day 1! Really enjoyed his fights, but mostly style! Tattoos, mohawk etc.. Such a cool guy! My favorite UFC fighter in the time & I'm still watching his videos. Much love from Croatia!

[@beaufort316]

I was lucky enough to meet Dan at a fighter signing in Nottingham a while back. He is such a nice guy! He had lots of time for the fans and he really did like being there to sign autographs and take pictures. It was a genuine honor to meet him. Definitely one of my all time favorite fighters.

[@jrkid7866]

Dan Hardy your the best,and whatever happens You are already a LEGEND !!!

[@markmcdunna5650]

more documentaries for dan hardy!

[@silkysilk1578]

what an interesting and 'bright' guy he is. would love to see more on him.

[@ShiddyShad808]

He talks like either he loves himself a bit much, or he is self concuss...he should be proud of his Mohawk, tattoos and accent and not think people are looking to him strangely but with interest.

[@Torxed]

Terrance Adrian sad it, he still gets tired.. The cardio level he got, he got from rigerous training and constantly keeping it up from a young age. He breeths and lives fighting and the dude is an inspiration to anyone interesting in being a well rounded, physically strong fighter with a tremendous heart for the sport. He's also extremely clever both on his feet and outside the ring.. Loved this video in so many ways!

[@SHAZPEREZ]

Your welcome, and see..... Watching it again. Dans a vary enigmatic person few people will ever possess that quality... He's got it! Real warrior, real person!

[@AndrewJohnClive]

A great human ambassador.

[@Poopiesnoopies]

I love how Dan Hardy has evolved throughout the years, he's really not the Mohawk and tattoo kind of guy anymore.

[@alejandros2292]

Fucking love MMA

[@alejandros2292]

Really? So good that you are my brother :)

[@SHAZPEREZ]

Thank you so much for this film.... I watch it almost every day... It eclipses me with inspiration. THANK YOU! My fav fighter! Outlaw army!!!

[@petertancevski725]

4:51 Megadeth - So far, so good, so what? Brutal \m/

[@cristinad1907]

I friggan love this guy . He is an amazing fighter and person.

[@mariodegortari88]

3:59 name of the book he is reading?

[@coil1]

[@snackaombullar]

[@matttdb]

Ian, you're doing great on these docs! Awesome work!

[@ianmcfarland2244]

Thank you!

[@weznumero1]

Really enjoyed this, well made

[@sknight36]

Dans a great guy and a great fighter ... still the only english guy to get a UFC title shot..

[@lizardywizard]

Dude!!! You had the world of automotive history from which to choose and you plump for late sixties / early seventies American muscle. You, a Nottingham lad, you had the opportunity to showcase a piece of classic British motoring, previously unheard of outside the UK. Along with Bruce Lee and the tennis girl with her arse cheek hanging out - would you not have had an image of an exotic Lamborghini or Ferrari ? You delighted me by not falling into the Countach stereotype , yet still it pains me almost physically that you failed to showcase a Montego turbo (obviously specced up to the bollocks; wood, leather, electric everything perhaps even kitted blues brothers style with the traffic cops wheel and suspension package. To everyone who hasn't thought of the magnificent Montego in a little while - you are most welcome and please , don't forget Montego"s hatchling, the hatchback Maestro. Just like booted big brother available in everything from a wheezing low power 1.3 right up to the Porsche chomping turbo nutter variety. What a shame you didn't dip the oil on some of your BRITISH heritage. Gone right off you and will cheer anyone who fights you, unless you do a video with an invacar in it. If you can get Masvidal to drive it I will give twenty quid to sport aid / comic relief. Or a tenner for Dana to do it.

[@lizardywizard]

For the full 'Outlaw Army' we're gonna need space.... Lots of space And probably quite tough, rugged space. (we're gonna need some really hard wearing velour type fabric that could if needed absorb a lot of blood) The Montego Estate was peerless in the mid to late eighties into the early nineties, both for space and if selected by a nutter / sporting driver / motoring enthusiast it might just be fitted with the turbo'd engine. Drops mic.

[@IanMcFarlandFilms]

thats amazing

[@padwhack1105]

You made and continue to leave your mark, be proud Nottingham is proud you are an inspiration to others your determination and success says it all respect 👊

[@kylepenistone6657]

land a big left hook and they fall to the canvas n give them a couple more shots hahaha that's what condit did that to him

[@J-Ernie]

It's easy to talk pal, So why don't you get in the ring and show us what you're made of!

[@bigeggmayo123]

so what???whats your point?

[@oscarbrito7507]

UKUndergroundHeaven he´s just saying a fact pal, chill the fuck out

[@oscarbrito7507]

bigeggmayo123 funny coincidence dont get me wrong i like hardy

[@oscarbrito7507]

the point is hardy talking shit in his vid when someone did the exact thing to him IN HIS OWN COUNTRY, grumpy oldman fuck you

[@chantlmcclary6419]

Well he did mellow out, he did become an intellectual, and he did leave a mark as an mma analyst sooo his wish came true.

[@tyroneprice556]

What a guy hope he comes back and fight agen I know he'd kick arse agen

[@ricksundberg5659]

This guy doesn't make sense, where is his hair and tattoos out of the norm these days?

[@Farkmetal]

Crowbar hoodie for the win

[@artikk925]

very good documentary

[@Cberk03]

I imagine it being awkward starring at a camera. I see much of myself in Dan Hardy. I think we choose to be the people we become.

[@edrielsarroca8533]

where's the Escalade?

[@figthersdreams]

Great documentary. I watch it before every one of my fights

[@rainbow6able]

That bit of let down! Was expecting something bit more .intense etc.. Suppose this the real Hardy, without having to be the Outlaw, at a fight, don't get it twisted im big Hardy fan from the beginning, when he come out cracking skulls, KO'ing skilled fighters! Was gutted at loss to GSP, think he fought him to soon. After the losses I heard Dana W only kept on rosta for his entertainment factor, as better fighters lost UFC place, an were pissed right of So tru "only trust blood" 2wen comes it

[@kickurassable]

You lie, this video was published on jan 29, your comment was made 3 months ago. You don't watch this video before every fight, and you don't fight. My god, wannabes these days~

[@TheSpectacledSteve]

Get well soon Dan Hardy because I want to see Hardy vs GSP 2

[@mossberg5004]

humble guy

[@deepthinker2515]

If you don't at some point in life you will no. Great fighter but i'm sure you have alot more to offer outside the cage.

[@kenwithaK]

i really liked hardy. claw your way back brotha!!!

[@zTaniwha]

Good work bro.

[@lavidaloccamannlich1165]
