MARINE turned mixed martial artist Dale Hardiman is preparing to fight in front of the biggest crowd of his career when he competes on the BAMMA 7 card at The NIA in Birmingham on September 10, writes Mark Wood.
Around 8,000 people are expected to pack the 12,500- capacity venue and the Stopsley student is relishing the forthcoming occasion.
The 23-year-old former Cardinal Newman and Sacred Heart pupil said: “I’m really looking forward to it.
“The most I’ve fought in front of is probably 2,500 so it’s another step up and another level, I can’t wait.”
