Dan Hardy

Very, very difficult job.

The thing that annoyed me, though, and for me it was done then.

When I got backstage, someone from the production team confronted me about approaching Herb.

I tried to make sure that the narrative was set correctly, that he actually came over to me.

But that never got escalated up the chain.

So it was always, you know, you approach an official, et cetera, et cetera.

And it just so happened to coincide with where someone had approached Mark Goddard and pushed him at another event, UAE Warriors.

So the whole thing kind of got...

convoluted and bundled into the same thing.

Was that the Connor situation?

No, that was in Bellator, but there was another one.

It was UAE Warriors, and I think someone had kept hold of a choke too long, and then Goddard had separated the fight, and then he came over to Mark, and he's trying to push Mark and stuff.

And when Dana actually made the statement about if you approach an official, you'll be gone, that was actually in reference to the other thing that happened, but it was LinkedIn with me as well.

The thing that pissed me off is when I got back to the hotel or to the airport or whatever,

Herbert posted this video and he was like sitting at the airport, you know, trying to justify what had happened.

But it was just like, he was saying things like, if you think you're the smartest guy in the room and just like poking at me just constantly.

And I'm like, I've got a bunch of hours sitting on a plane on the way back to the UK now.

And you know what I'm like, I'm pulling this apart.

And I'm like, did I step out of line?

Did I say something I shouldn't have said?
