UPDATE: Dan Hardy Not Headed To Elite XC

We reported earlier today that UK fighter Dan Hardy had signed a deal with Elite XC. This is now not the case. (see here for original story http://mmatrivia.blogspot.com/2008/05/elite-xc-sign-3-new-fighters.html)

MMA Trivia can now reveal that Hardy has instead signed a four fight deal with the UFC. He is reported to have been close to a deal with Elite XC, but the UFC pipped them at the post.

According to several sources, the UFC has vowed to make Hardy "as big as Michael Bisping".
