Greg Hardy vs. Maurice Greene targeted for UFC event on Oct. 31

A heavyweight matchup between former NFL Pro Bowler Greg Hardy and Maurice Greene is in the works for the fall.

Multiple people with knowledge of the promotion’s plans confirmed to MMA Fighting that the bout is being targeted for the UFC’s Oct. 31 event following an initial report from MMA Junkie. As of now, there has been no location announced for the card.

Hardy looks to make it two straight wins after earning a unanimous decision over Yorgan De Castro at UFC 249 in April. “The Prince of War” has had a roller coaster run in the UFC with a trio of wins, a pair of losses—one by disqualification in his octagon debut against Allen Crowder—and a victory overturned to a no contest after using an inhaler between rounds against Ben Sosoli this past October at UFC Boston.
