For the second Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) pay-per-view (PPV) in a row, a legend of the sport has had one of his limbs broken in half.
At UFC 261 it was Chris Weidman who suffered a tibia-fibula fracture that left his leg bent 90 degrees halfway down the shin (see it). Last night (Sat., May 15, 2021) at UFC 262, we had to watch (and hear) Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza suffer a horrible arm break that finished his fight against Andre Muniz in the first round (see it).

They say ask and you shall receive. In Dan Hardy’s case, it’s getting released from his active UFC contract.
In a recent conversation with Submission Radio, the former welterweight title contender went on record to appeal for his release from the company’s active roster. He hasn’t competed since 2012 after being diagnosed with a heart condition.
The only thing that’s happened is I’ve asked two different people for my release from the UFC. Because, obviously with one contract coming to an end, it makes sense for me to leave with my fight contract as well.

For the first time in 13 years, Dan Hardy is no longer a UFC fighter.
The former welterweight title challenger has been released from his fight contract with the UFC after making the request with the promotion. Hardy confirmed to MMA Fighting that he received his release letter from the UFC on Tuesday night.
“The Outlaw” had been actively pursuing his release after his relationship with the UFC turned sour following his dismissal as part of the broadcast team due to a “disagreement” with a UFC employee. Hardy later said he regretted the altercation he had with the UFC over his exit from the broadcast team, but he still sought to cut ties with the organization as he looked to restart his fight career.
