Quite the opposite, in fact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking to <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"MMA Junkie (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/mmajunkie.com\/2019\/05\/juan-adams-rips-pathetic-greg-hardy-win-hopes-to-mop-the-floor-ufc-on-espn-plus-9\" target=\"_blank\">MMA Junkie<\/a> recently, Adams gave a scathing assessment of Hardy&#8217;s debut UFC win, a TKO over the shockingly passive Dmitrii Smoliakov at UFC Fort Lauderdale. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPathetic,&#8221; Adams said. &#8220;It was just ridiculous. It looked like the guy was scared to do anything. I\u2019m not going to say much, but I think it\u2019s ridiculous how they\u2019re trying to push such a poor product on people. The people have spoken like, \u2018We don\u2019t want to see that crap. It\u2019s not a good fight, he\u2019s not a good fighter.\u2019 He\u2019s had cans his entire career. The most legit opponent he\u2019s fought was Allen Crowder. Like, c\u2019mon. He\u2019s no world beater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Every point in his career, he\u2019s taken the easiest fight available. Every point in my career I\u2019ve taken the best guy available, who the best guy was that\u2019s going to come at me. It shows when we fight. I fight guys on my level on paper that are supposed to be better than me, and I still come out on top. He fights a guy that\u2019s another up-and-comer and gets DQ\u2019d because he\u2019s scared he\u2019s going to lose right away.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Juan Adams went on to say that he outright hates Greg Hardy \u2014 which is why he dedicates so much of his time to lambasting him on social media. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;My social media is all about hating on Greg Hardy \u2013 because I hate him,\u201d Adams said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you think we&#8217;ll see Juan Adams and Greg Hardy collide in the Octagon in the near future?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This article first appeared on&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\"><em>BJPENN.COM<\/em><\/a><em>&nbsp;on 5\/3\/2019.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ufc\/status\/1074054510849323008\"><\/a><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Heavyweight prospect Juan Adams, who is scheduled to fight Arjan Bhullar at UFC Ottawa this Saturday, is no fan of former football player Greg Hardy.
