19/03/08 - UK MMA: Hardy joins EliteXC - Exclusive
Dan Hardy is to sign a three fight deal with EliteXC, Fighters Only can exclusively reveal.
The welterweight standout, who is one of the brightest prospects in UK MMA, will be on a 12 month contract, with a possible two month extension.
His first fight in EliteXC will be in June, as he has several obligations to fulfil to other promotions first.
These include appearing on the US debut of British MMA promotion Cage Warriors and then fighting Marios Zaromski in May when US promotion Combat FC puts on its first UK show, which will be held at the Newcastle Metro Radio Arena.
Hardy recently returned from Japan, where he put in several strong performances fighting in the Cage Force welter weight tournament.
He has also been training in America with the likes of Eddie Bravo in a bid to further enhance his skills.
EliteXC is home to former streetfighter Kimbo Slice, who made his name by engaging in bare knuckle prize fights that were filmed and distributed via the internet.

Excellent news imo, Ive been a fan of Hardy's for a long time now. He's a team mate of Paul Daley and has recently been training at Xtreme Couture in Vegas, so expect big things from him!
