former NFL player Greg Hardy just won his 3rd amateur fight

[podsox]

I know people win spin this as an 'A level athlete' but frankly Hardy is not 'A' level anymore, he washed out of the league years ago.

We aren't ever gonna see an 'A level' athlete in the octagon, because when they are in their prime they are getting paid millions in other sports, they only come to the UFC when they are washed up and at B or C level.

Fighters 170 and under are all high level athletes imo. What sport can they play besides soccer?

people start sports when they are little kids and they don't choose a sport based on how much money it will make them, ya goof.

Haha maybe I should contact LFA and sacrifice myself to this fucker. I’d love to be able to say I fought Greg Hardy in the ammys. Was a big fan of his with Carolina

 

[FleximusPrime]

Was this his opponent?

 

[King of Fists]

He didn’t leave the NFL because of diminished skills, he was effectively blackballed because no team wanted the drama and baggage he carries with him.

Disagree, Adam Jones is still in the league and has way more drama and baggage than Hardy.

People pay lip service to the whole baggage thing but if a player has enough talent some team will sign him because he "just needs a strong lockerrom/coach/mentor to keep him out of trouble."

Was one of the fights against his ex-girlfriend?

 

[YellowBanenoo]

let's hope he becomes a successful fighter. an actual A level athlete in the ufc would be something amazing to see

We already saw how "A level" fights in UFC. Unimpressive.

 

[Thesnake101]

Now remember, you're only A-Level if you get the official stamp from Joe Rogan.

You're only A-level if you play with balls.



And are black.

 

[Polish Punisher]

How does this make it into the UFC forum?

 

[jk7707]

Was he fighting a MW? That dude looked tiny compared to him.

Didnt he start for the cowboys until he got another charge? Being washed out cause youre a "distraction" is different than not being able to play

Greg hardy makes war machine look sane

I wouldnt go that far

 

[Bones245n4847]

He probably don't even train seriously. Definitely not in his NFL shape. He can easily start like 5-0 knocking guys out in the lower levels and get a UFC contract within the next 18 months. Herschel Walker was like 60 knocking dudes out in strikeforce, so a under 30 former DE can easily scalp a couple dude in the UFC.

Idk but his Cowboys careers started off well on the field but ended poorly, with a total of 3 sacks in his last 9 games. Was pretty obvious towards the end that he was a liability on the field, not a good run defender and couldn't get after the QB anymore.

Compare that with strip club shooter Pacman Jones who kept playing because he was contributing on the field.

Manlets are Manlets, not top athletes. If a manlet in the Flyweights breaks a record for most title defenses, does anyone care?

wait, college wrestlers are now too?
I thought sherdog only calls basketball players and footballers A-level.

I guess this makes Yoel an ++A level athlete with his accomplishments in wrestling.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Would probably get a UFC HW title shot by the end of this year, if he was signed today.

The guy machida fought was a former NFL player.

damn my bad..
wait, is college football considered NFL?
cause his wiki only says he signed with the browns in the NFL but nothing about competing.
