UFC star Veronica Hardy put in a tremendous display as she faced The Ultimate Fighter S30 winner Juliana Miller at UFC 286. While the Venezuelan fighter marked her return to Octagon after a layoff of 3 years, she, unfazed by ring rust, checked all the boxes in the Saturday night fight card opener. Further, the flyweight fighter broke her slump and returned to the winner’s column at O2 Arena in London on March 18. Besides, the former UFC fighter, Dan Hardy, also appeared in her corner, who worked hard behind the scenes to realize the dreams of his wife.
Afterward, the MMA fighter-turned-analyst took to Instagram as he poured his heart out. Not only did he express pride over the 27-year-old’s performance, but also lauded her for the valiant efforts she put in over the past few efforts.
