After suffering four straight losses in the UFC, welterweight Dan Hardy has said he doesn't want to return until he feels ready to validate the UFC's decision to keep him on the roster. Well, he now says he's ready, and told ESPN UK who he'd like to face upon his return:
"I've mentioned Matt Hughes to Lorenzo [Fertitta]. He's been on a rough streak as well recently, he'll look at me and see I've lost four fights and think he can outwrestle me. I also genuinely don't like him. I need a fight to get up for and I'd take great pleasure in smashing him in the face. I won't talk about why I don't like him, it's some knowledge I have about him away from the sport. Even students around where he lives bet against him... Lorenzo would love to see it; more than anything he just likes a good fight! That's why I've not been cut yet because I come to fight. I think Matt Hughes would be an entertaining fight."
