Morning Report: UFC signee Greg Hardy injures knee in Arena football game

The ink is barely dry on his UFC contract and Greg Hardy might already have trouble.

On last week’s edition of Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series, Hardy had a sensational professional fighting debut, knocking out Austen Lane in just 57 seconds. His performance was so good it earned him a UFC contract, with White saying he wanted to see the ex-NFL All-Pro back in competition as soon as possible. That might not happen for a while though as Hardy apparently injured his knee over the weekend in an Arena Football League game.

In a report by ESPN, Hardy suffered a knee injury in the first quarter of his game with the Richmond Roughriders on Saturday night.
