Media Former UFC heavyweight Greg Hardy knocked out again in Moscow boxing match

[neandertal]

He shouldn't fight real boxers, should be on the Influencer scene or Bare Knuckle instead.

Why did he quit the NFL again? Was he banned?

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.

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.

Just do Sapp vs Hardy and call it a day

 

[TJH Exitium]

There are few fighters I want to see continue fighting and taking brutal KO losses long after they should have retired


Hardy is one of them

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.

Better than being the maintenance lead for some cheap motel

lol 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 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 gripe

 

[Pequeño Corey]

Very funny Ko. Not quite Johnny Walker levels of flailing, but good enough.

i'm talking about what happened too. he got ktfo by a guy much smaller than him. yep, he's a much better boxer than Hardy, but whose fault is that? he signed up for the fight because he thought he could win. are you Greg Hardy's dad? brother? lover? because you seem awfully offended about nothing. never once did i bring up his sexual assault, but others in this thread have yet you're not climbing up their ass about that. why is that? sounds like you got a personal gripe with me.

he also got ktfo by Tai Tuivasa, is that imaginary? is Tai Tuivasa a world class boxer? if you got ktfo by Tai Tuivasa would you sign up to fight a world class cruiserweight? is everything ok at home? i don't give a shit about what he did outside of his fighting career, he's an idiot for signing up to fight this guy, he's an idiot for signing up for boxing period and you're over here trying to act like i'm living in an imaginary fairy tale? my brother in Christ, please seek help.

That’s a good take. Probably not good to revel too hard in people’s misfortune
