Despite coming into Knucklemania 3 as an overwhelming favorite against Josh Watson, former NFL pass rusher Greg Hardy was hit with a cold dose of reality on Friday.
Since then, Hardy has focused on professional fighting and signed within 2018. He had some success early on but was cut by the organization a year ago after he suffered three straight defeats by knockout.
Greg Hardy and Tai Tuivasa of Australia exchange punches in the first round in their heavyweight bout during UFC 264: Poirier vs. McGregor 3 at T-Mobile Arena on July 10, 2021, in Las Vegas, Nevada."I'm back and ready to knock everyone out in the baddest promotion there is. Everyone knows I can knock people out, and that's what I'm planning on doing. I can't wait to take the gloves off and rumble for BKFC," Hardy said around the time of his signing last summer.
Greg Hardy poses on the scale during the UFC 272 official weigh-in at UFC APEX on March 4, 2022, in Las Vegas, Nevada.
