The former NFL player-turned-MMA heavyweight will take on Jarjis Danho at a UFC event in Singapore this October. Officials announced the matchup Wednesday.
Hardy, 31, has won back-to-back fights by first-round knockout since losing via disqualification in his UFC debut in January. He is 5-1 as a pro so far, with all five of those wins coming by way of first-round KO/TKO.
With two UFC appearances under his belt, Danho (5-1-1, 1 NC) competes for the first time since September 2016. “Man Mountain” is winless inside the Octagon, having lost a majority decision to Daniel Omielanczuk in his first outing and fought Christian Colombo to a majority draw in his second.
