Greg Hardy’s UFC Debut Ends With Illegal Strike On Vulnerable Opponent

Exiled NFL defensive end Greg Hardy made his UFC debut on Saturday night, only to be disqualified in the second round. Hardy had defended a takedown from Allen Crowder and then got up while his opponent was still on one knee and illegally smashed his knee into Crowder’s temple.

The referee stopped the match and, after conferring with match officials, disqualified Hardy from the fight for his first loss in his MMA career.

It’ll be interesting to see if UFC allows Hardy back for another fight.
