Heather "The Heat" Hardy is an American professional boxer and mixed martial artist holding the WBC International Female Super Bantamweight title and a featured athlete for Bellator MMA. Hardy went on to major in Forensic Psychology at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in Manhattan.

She's overcome many nightmares—divorce, the pressures of raising a child on her own, losing one home to a fire and another to Hurricane Sandy—to reach her dream.

Through it all, she's remained true to herself and held onto one essential belief: No obstacle is too large.

She is the epitome of Grit, Grind and Hustle. An inspiration to all people regardless of gender of what it takes to be a fighter inside and outside the ring.
