Former NFL standout Greg Hardy has so far found success in his transition into mixed martial arts. Prior to his scheduled UFC debut on Saturday night against Allen Crowder, he had already racked up three stoppage losses to kick off his MMA career.
Hardy’s maiden Octagon appearance, however, did not end well for him, as he picked up a disqualification loss after blatantly throwing a knee strike while Crowder was still down on the mat. But even so, UFC president Dana White remains complimentary towards his debuting heavyweight.
“One thing that I did learn about Hardy tonight, he can fight,” White told reporters in his post-fight scrum.
