Elon Musk: Dan Hardy jokes about him buying UFC

Former UFC fighter Dan Hardy has joked about the possibility of billionaire Elon Musk buying the promotion after his recent Twitter deal.

For those who don’t know, Elon Musk’s $44 billion bid to buy Twitter was accepted by the board earlier this week. If it officially goes through, the 50-year-old will add the social media platform to the growing list of companies he’s associated with including SpaceX, Tesla and The Boring Company.

Dan Hardy, meanwhile, is a former UFC fighter and commentator who left in search of pastures new last year. The decision was one that many questioned with Hardy himself searching for answers regarding the move and why exactly it happened.

Now, on the heels of this news about Musk, Hardy has joked that the entrepreneur should look towards investing in mixed martial arts.

While it may be a comment that was made in an amusing way, it definitely seems like there’s still some lingering tension between Hardy and his former employers – indicating that a return won’t be on the cards anytime soon.

It would be awesome if @elonmusk bought the @UFC next.
