"Dan Hardy Wants A Rematch!"

"I believe the decision that made Yoshida a winner of that bout is an unfair one." Dan Hardy wants a rematch against the champion Yoshiyuki "Zenko" Yoshida. According to WWCN (Worldwide Cage Network), Hardy claims that the+ kick was a "pure accident" and feeling "angry" for taking a loss in the record and watching Yoshida capturing the title.

On the night of December 1st, once Hardy was back in the hotel, he sent an e-mail to Cage Warriors in the U.K., his management, asking for a rematch against Yoshida for the December 8th Cage Warriors show. Apparently this was not possible but apparently Cage Warriors was fully on the side of Hardy and released the following statement, "Getting DQ was a very cruel decision. It should've been called no contest due to the accident."
