This run has seen Hardy defeat the likes of the former King of Pancrase; Daizo Ishige, Hidetaka Monma and UFC veteran; Chad Reiner. On his UFC debut last October,
Hardy defeated the vastly experienced eight time Pride FC veteran Akihiro Gono by split decision, in an intriguing tactical war.

Markham's exciting style saw him snapped up by the UFC in 2008 and he made an intimidate impact on his debut at UFC Fight Night 14, where he Knocked Out fellow UFC debutant Brodie Farber with a stunning head kick in just 97 seconds of their July 19th bout. That KO left a huge impression on the watching UFC management who awarded Markham the coveted “Knockout of the Night” award and also saw his prelim fight shown later on that night on Spike TV in the United States.
