Greg Hardy is scheduled to return to the octagon in UFC on ESPN 3.
The NFL player turned MMA fighter didn’t exactly get his UFC career off hot as his bout against Allen Crowder in Brooklyn ended in disqualification. Prior to the setback, Hardy was 3-0 as a professional fighter, with two of those victories coming from his time on Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series.
His opponent will be against Dmitrii Smoliakov, who's currently 0-2 under the UFC banner. His last bout was back on January 15, 2017 against Cyril Asker and lost in the first round via TKO. Smoliakov’s professional MMA record is 9 wins and 2 losses.
