Greg Hardy is expected to make his second Ultimate Fighting Championship appearance at UFC on ESPN 3.
According to a report from ESPN, Hardy will square off against Dmitry Smoliakov in a heavyweight bout at the BB&T Center in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. The Las Vegas-based promotion has not confirmed the pairing.
Hardy’s Octagon debut ended in disqualification when landed an illegal knee against Allen Crowder in the second frame of their bout at UFC Brooklyn on Jan. 19. The former NFL Pro Bowler was a controversial addition to the UFC roster due to past allegations of domestic violence.
