Morning Report: Greg Hardy ‘I’m the fights sports’ athlete version of what Michael Jordan could be.’

On Saturday night at UFC Fort Lauderdale, controversial fighter Greg Hardy picked up his first win in the UFC, knocking out an overmatched Dmitry Smoliakov in 2:15 seconds. It was a vast improvement over his UFC debut - a DQ loss to Allen Crowder stemming from a blatantly illegal knee strike - even if it did come against an opponent Dana White went on to publicly shame after the bout for looking terrified to be in there. And with his first win under his belt, Hardy says the sky is the limit for him in the UFC.
