Jacare would then close out the final frame strong but it wouldn&#8217;t be enough as the rising contender would get <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/ufc\/ufc-fort-lauderdale-results-jack-hermansson-defeats-jacare-souza-highlights\/\">the upset victory by unanimous decision<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Preceding the bout was Dmitrii Smoliakov who returned to the UFC for the first time since January 2017. Standing in Smoliakov&#8217;s way making his sophomore UFC appearance was the controversial former NFL defensive end, Greg Hardy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The fight wouldn&#8217;t last long as Smoliakov was clearly afraid to strike with his opponent and it quickly led to his demise as <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/greg-hardy\/ufc-fort-lauderdale-results-greg-hardy-kos-dmitrii-smoliakov-video\/\">Hardy scored the first-round TKO<\/a> in just two minutes and 15 seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although it was just Hardy&#8217;s second fight in the UFC and it was Hermansson&#8217;s ninth as well as a main event win, the night&#8217;s biggest winner would end up walking away with a smaller purse than the heavyweight prospect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The full fighter payouts for UFC Fort Lauderdale can be seen below (via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmafighting.com\/2019\/4\/30\/18524215\/ufc-fort-lauderdale-salaries-greg-hardy-cashes-150000-for-first-ufc-win\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"MMA Fighting (opens in a new tab)\">MMA Fighting<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Main Card (ESPN+)<br \/>Jack Hermansson ($41,000 + $41,000 = $82,000) def.
