Juan Adams was not happy with the referee stoppage in his loss to former Dallas Cowboy Greg Hardy at tonight’s UFC San Antonio event.<\/p>\n

The heavyweight showdown last all of 45-seconds. After Hardy landed a crisp jab, Adams made the decision to shoot in for a takedown. Hardy was able to avoid the shot and wound up taking top position after Juan stumbled to the canvas. From there, Greg Hardy would unleash a plethora of strikes<\/a>, which eventually prompted the referee to step in and call a stop to the action.<\/p>\n

Juan Adams immediately shot up to his feet and protested the stoppage, which honestly did not appear to be that controversial. The former Contender Series standout proceeded to exit the cage before Hardy was even announced the winner, a decision he now regrets.<\/p>\n

Juan Adams took to Twitter with the following message for the UFC<\/a> and his fans following tonight’s disappointing setback to former NFL player Greg Hardy.<\/p>\n

\n

I apologize to the ufc and to the fans for the way i acted after the fight. I let my emotions get the better of me and i acted horribly. To everyone present and watching at home i truly apologize. I took a few to the head and was caught up in the moment.<\/p>\n
