Video: Dan Hardy breaks down Andrei Arlovski vs. Tanner Boser at UFC on ESPN+ 40

One of the most experienced heavyweights in the UFC takes on a rising contender in the co-main event of UFC on ESPN+ 40 in Las Vegas.

Former UFC heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski (29-19 MMA, 18-13 UFC) returns to action looking to claim back-to-back victories inside the octagon for the first time since 2018, while Canada’s Tanner Boser (19-6-1 MMA, 3-1 UFC) is targeting a hat-trick of victories as he looks to follow up on his spectacular knockouts of Philipe Lins and Raphael Pessoa on “UFC Fight Island” earlier this year.

Ahead of their bout, former UFC welterweight title challenger and UFC analyst Dan “The Outlaw” Hardy invites us into “The War Room,” as he takes a deep dive into the matchup and offers his technical pointers ahead of the fight. Check out his pre-fight assessment via the video above.
