Dana White optimistic about Greg Hardy’s UFC future: ‘He can fight’

Dana White has watched enough of heavyweight prospect Greg Hardy to give a rough assessment of his skills.

And he likes what he’s seen so far.

The UFC president spoke to the media at the UFC Brooklyn post-fight press conference and was asked several questions about Hardy’s Octagon debut, which served as the event’s co-headliner. A former NFL Pro Blower, who made headlines first for his on-field accomplishments and then later a highly publicized domestic violence case that played a part in his eventual departure from the league (he was initially found guilty of assault and communicating threats, but saw those charges dropped after an appeal when the alleged victim did not appear in court to testify), Hardy failed to pick up a win on Saturday, losing by disqualification in round two when he threw an illegal knee at a grounded Allen Crowder.
