He shouldn't fight real boxers, should be on the Influencer scene or Bare Knuckle instead.
JDS trained martial arts during his childhood, claims to have really began taking them seriously in his early 20s, winning BJJ tournies, then started boxing, and ultimately went pro at 22.
Greg Hardy spent a lifetime training football, then switched to fighting at roughly age 28 because the NFL wouldn't touch him due to his domestic violence charges. Quite different. One might also consider that football history in relation to the KOs he's vulnerable to. Brain can only take so much.
Browne is closer, having been a basketball player (although not elite professional level) that turned to MMA in his late 20s, although one could argue based on record that he wasn't terribly more successful than Hardy.
Regardless of all that, you'll always find a couple outliers if you look hard enough.
Poor personal conduct. The team he was on decided not to re-sign him. Greg probably does have a really shitty past but after losing basically everything and now getting knocked out for peanuts in Moscow maybe it's time to stop piling on him just as a decency thing.Why did he quit the NFL again? Was he banned?
That was a massive speculation to discredit a guy who honestly did a ton of up and down since starting his career. He doesn’t look like a guy that doesn’t know how to box he looks like a guy over his head. Acting like that isn’t the case and making up scenarios is obtuse. Is it the woman beater thing? I’m just talking about what actually happened in the fight and his career you and your inaginary tales just strike me as you are here with a personal gripelol lasting 3 rds with a guy you're like twice as big as is not an accomplishment. for all you know the cruiserweight carried him. looks like he didn't even try to KO him until he did.

That’s a good take. Probably not good to revel too hard in people’s misfortunePoor personal conduct. The team he was on decided not to re-sign him.

Bro scrapped wif him wife so NFL seh him haffi redirect di anger elsewhereWhy did he quit the NFL again? Was he banned?
Excellent take fam him got slept enough fi humble most men real talks lolPoor personal conduct. The team he was on decided not to re-sign him.

Arguing that training your entire childhood for football would better prepare you for mixed martial arts than martial arts would sounds kinda fucking dumb to me. Just sayin.I mean you could also argue that Hardy spending all those years developing incredible size/strength/speed/athleticism at the major college and NFL level gave him just as much if not more advantage than JDS doing childhood martial arts.
And look what you wrote, JDS turned pro at 22, and how long after that was he knocking out Werdum?...
I would say that Browne was more successful than Hardy by a long shot, Hardy's peak was Volkov coasting to an easy decision over him. Browne has major wins over MMA royalty, including elite kickboxing legend James McSweeney.
But yes they are certainly outliers, admittedly.
