Earlier today, following the fantastic UFC 259 card, The Wrestling Observer dropped news of Dan Hardy being released from his role as commentator.

Dave Meltzer wrote the following: “Dan Hardy, 38, was fired by both the UFC and BT Sports as an announcer over an issue in Abu Dhabi where he got into an argument with a female employee.”

There are still few details on this story involving the female employee, with Hardy contesting the details on his Twitter page.

I know I will miss Hardy in the broadcast booth, but send some support over to his YouTube channel, Full Reptile, for some more Hardy action (unless we finally get that long-teased UFC return).
