Greg Hardy ‘humbled’ by ‘frustrating’ loss in UFC debut

[Wild]

UFC heavyweight Greg Hardy has been left frustrated by the loss in his UFC debut to Allen Crowder earlier this year, but he has described the experience as ‘humbling’.

The controversial Hardy (3-1) racked up three consecutive knockout wins in his amateur career before turning pro in June of last year. The former NFL star started his pro career in similiar fashion, winning his first three fights by knockout in all under a minute, two of which was for Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series.

I hate him for trying to steal the greatest illegal knee of all time title from count michael.


What a fight. The build up and the chaos during the fight. The chaos afterwards.


Those were the days
