Former UFC heavyweight Greg Hardy keeps stretching his string of losing fights in bizarre fashion. On Friday, Hardy faced off with Evgeny Goncharov in a boxing bout at the Vologda Sports Palace arena, competing under the Vologda Region Governor’s Cup banner in Russia.
Both men opened the fight with a measured, feel-out approach, staying at range and trading low-commitment shots through the first two rounds. In the third, Hardy briefly shifted the momentum, increasing his output and driving his opponent back to the ropes with a flurry of offense.
Goncharov, however, fired back late in the round, catching “Prince of War” clean with multiple punches to the head and reclaiming control before the bell.
