The UFC’s debut under the ESPN umbrella was supposed to be focused on the main event between Henry Cejudo and TJ Dillashaw for the flyweight title. Instead, due to some bonehead planning that could have easily been avoided, much of the thunder from that title fight has been stolen by former NFL defensive end Greg Hardy making his UFC debut. It isn’t just that Hardy is making his debut.
It’s that Hardy, a formerly convicted woman abuser – overturned when the plaintiff refused to testify upon Hardy’s appeal – is making his debut on the same card as Rachael Ostovich, a victim of domestic abuse at the hands of her husband just months ago.
