Greg Hardy’s last fight at UFC Boston against Ben Sosoli ended in controversy.<\/p>\n

In between the second and third rounds, the former NFL pro-bowler used an inhaler<\/a>. The broadcast booth immediately said the act provided a distinct advantage.<\/p>\n

Now, Greg Hardy says he never needed the inhaler, but wanted to use it to help his asthma.<\/p>\n

“I didn’t need it at all,” Greg Hardy said on Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show on Wednesday<\/a>. “I wanted to take the inhaler because I have asthma and I was at a breathing disadvantage. When they’re telling you [that] you can, you don’t want to continue putting yourself at a disadvantage if you don’t have to.”<\/p>\n

Before he used the inhaler, Greg Hardy asked the commissioner and they approved the use of it.<\/a> To get the fight overturned to a no-contest is frustrating for the former NFL star as he thought the inhaler was allowed.<\/p>\n

“I’m in the middle of figuring it all out,” Hardy said. “This is all new to me. As shocking as it may be, Greg Hardy does not know all.”<\/p>\n

Although the win was overturned to a no-contest<\/a>, Greg Hardy says he plans on appealing it and hopes of getting it put back to a win. He could very well have a case given the commission allowed it, and if they said no, he wouldn’t have used it.<\/p>\n

“I think it’s something that we’re gonna have to fight out in court and figure it out,” Greg Hardy said. “The long and short of it is I had no idea [it was against the rules].”<\/p>\n

For now, Greg Hardy is focusing on his short-notice fight against Alexander Volkov in the co-main event of UFC Moscow<\/a>. It will be the first time he fights a ranked opponent. Once the fight is over, it is back to the appeal over the no-contest.<\/p>\n

Do you think the no-contest should be overturned to a win for Greg Hardy? Sound off in the comment section, PENN Nation!<\/p>\n
