After the game Hardy revealed that he is now looking for an fight against Canadian champ Georges St. Pierre.

Hardy told The Sun: "There are so many good guys in my division but I managed to lock eyes with Georges St Pierre outside the cage and we had a moment where I was like – `I`m coming for you, I`m coming for you.`

"But I know I`ve still got improvements to make.

"There are some guys I need to pick off on my way up to him.

"But whoever the UFC send me next, I`ll be ready."

The 26-year-old admitted that he wanted to prove that English fighters are not ‘second best’ in the MMA`s.

He added: "It was time to demonstrate and represent for the UK."
