Coming up next, it’s the co-main event, as former NFL star turned MMA fighter Greg Hardy makes his octagon debut against Allen Crowder.
Hardy’s presence in the UFC is controversial, to say the least.
He was found guilty of domestic violence offences, but had the charges dropped after his alleged victim refused to testify in the appeal.
The incident cost him his successful NFL career with the Dallas Cowboys, and saw him transition to mixed martial arts.
He competed twice in Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series and impressed with two huge quickfire knockouts and, for better or worse, White has thrown his support behind a rehabilitated Hardy as he looks to continue his athletic career in a new sport.
But the shadow of his past looms large over Hardy, with many people hoping to see Crowder score an unlikely knockout win against the heavy-handed former NFL star tonight.
