And tonight at #UFCFtLauderale the co main event defrauded two scrubs that are seeking to do what #theKraken has already done and both competitors have failed to do, any guesses on this amazing feat? The answer: get a win in the UFC. #amateurHour #fuckGregHardy #ufc #undefeated

The former NFLer def. Dmitrii Smoliakov via first-round TKO. Smoliakov had nothing for Hardy. FWIW, Hardy appeared to be in better shape than his ill-fated debut in January.
Woow where did they find this guy
