Greg Hardy has already jumped from the NFL to the UFC. From the sounds of it, his next stop could be the WWE ring.<\/p>\n
Hardy, who is scheduled to battle Yorgan De Castro at UFC 249 in Jacksonville, Florida this weekend, discussed a potential move to the pro wrestling world during the virtual media day for the card earlier this week. The topic came up when a reporter mentioned that AEW, another pro wrestling promotion, is also hosting an event in Jacksonville this weekend, with wrestlers staying at the very same hotel as the UFC’s stars.<\/p>\n
\u201c[The wrestlers could] teach me some moves, maybe I go to the WWE\u2026that\u2019d be super dope,\u201d Hardy said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe \u2018King of War\u2019 deserves to be in the WWE,” referencing his nickname “The Prince of War.”<\/p>\n
Hardy was subsequently asked what his signature move in the wrestling ring might be. He suggested “a sweet off-the-ropes move\u2026like Rey Mysterio.”<\/p>\n
In his UFC 249 fight with Yorgan De Castro, Greg Hardy will attempt to rebound from a November decision loss to former Bellator heavyweight champion Alexander Volkov, the first ranked opponent of his MMA career. Prior to that loss, Hardy battled Ben Sosoli in a fight that was ruled a No Contest due to his illegal use of an inhaler between rounds. That fight was preceded back-to-back TKO wins over Juan Adams and Dmitry Smoliakov, and a DQ loss to Allen Crowder in his UFC debut.<\/p>\n
Prior to his UFC debut, Hardy burst into the MMA limelight on Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series. His affiliation with the UFC has been controversial from the get-go due to the domestic violence scandal that ended his football career.<\/p>\n
