Last night, in the co-main event of the UFC’s first card on ESPN, former NFL player Greg Hardy made his debut in the Octagon. In the end, this debut went rather disastrously for Hardy, as he was disqualified for an illegal knee in the second round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given the controversial past of Greg Hardy, many fans imagined that this DQ loss would signal the end of his stint in the UFC. UFC President Dana White, however, seems to be looking at the situation very differently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

White feels that, DQ notwithstanding, Greg Hardy proved he can fight. Furthermore, the UFC boss confirmed that the former football star will get another fight in the Octagon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne thing that I did learn about Hardy tonight, he can fight,\u201d White told reporters post-fight (h\/t\u00a0Bloody Elbow<\/a>). \u201cHe can fight, he\u2019s an athlete, not only can he punch hard, but he can take a big punch. He got hit with some good shots tonight, his ground game, I think everybody thought if he got taken down to the ground that was gonna be the end of him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe got out of trouble on the ground several times, and he learned a lot tonight,\u201d White continued. \u201cYeah, he\u2019ll get another fight. He made a real big rookie mistake and it caused him an \u2018L\u2019 tonight. It ruined his perfect record.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this DQ loss, Greg Hardy is now 3-1 overall. Do you think he deserves another shot in the UFC?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
