Harry Hardwick had an Ultimate Fighting Championship debut to forget.
The former Cage Warriors champion suffered a technical knockout loss to Kaue Fernandes in their lightweight bout at UFC Paris, as he succumbed to leg kicks at the 3:21 mark of Round 1. Hardwick was hobbled early on by his opponent’s attacks, and he had to be wheeled out of the Octagon at the conclusion of the bout.
In a video on social media, the Englishman praised Fernandes for his powerful leg kicks.
