After Receiving UFC Developmental Deal, Greg Hardy Booked for Second Contender Series Bout

Greg Hardy’s mixed martial arts career will continue with another appearance at Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series.

Multiple outlets have confirmed that the troubled former NFL Pro Bowler will square off with Tebaris Gordon on Aug. 7 at “The Ultimate Fighter Gym” in Las Vegas. ESPN.com was first to report the news.

Hardy earned a four-fight developmental contract with the UFC after knocking out fellow former NFL player Austen Lane in 57 seconds in his professional MMA debut on June 12. Hardy went 3-0 as an amateur before his victory on the Contender Series.
