Issac Hardman

It was like a Wednesday as a B-side, as boxers do.

I said, yeah, I'll do it.

They gave me three grand.

I knocked this cunt out in the first round.

Yeah.

I thought, I wore my wrestling boots and didn't even wear like a groin guard, the boxers where I wore my MMA shorts and I knocked him out in the first round.

A lot of heavyweight, so nine kilos above what I used to fight at in MMA.

And then I did that again for my second fight.

They flew me in on a couple of days notice, knocked him out in the first round and then this third one,

the Gallon Hoppawattie, I'd been presented with the UFC contract to fight on short notice.

Yeah, to Adrian, the matchmaker, Sean Shelby messaged Adrian Pang, do you have anyone at 70 kilos?

What about Isaac Hardman?

And I just spent seven months on the source not doing any wrestling training.

And in my head I didn't want to get into the UFC and just be a card filler, not having any wrestling practice.

Yeah, just get taken down.

I thought, no, I'm going to.

That was the same weekend or whatever that date is.

That was the UFC in Perth or wherever it was.

Yeah.

And I said, no, I'm going to commit to this boxing fight.
