A heavyweight contest between Maurice Greene and Greg Hardy took place on the main card of tonight’s UFC Vegas 12 event.
Greene (9-4 MMA) recently snapped a two-fight losing skid by scoring a submission win over Gian Villante back in June. ‘The Crochet Boss‘ has gone 4-2 under the UFC banner thus far in his career, which includes a TKO victory over Junior Albini.
As for Greg Hardy (6-2 MMA), the former NFL star is coming off a win over Yorgan de Castro in his most recent Octagon appearance at UFC 249. Prior to that, ‘The Prince of War’ had suffered a unanimous decision setback to perennial division contender Alexander Volkov.
Tonight’s Hardy vs. Greene contest proved to be a one-sided affair. Greg Hardy nearly finished the contest early in round one after scoring a knockdown, but a gritty Greene was able to survive. Round two proved to be more of the same. However, after scoring his second knockdown of the fight, Hardy was quick to finish Greene off with ground and pound.
