Former NFL Star Greg Hardy Gets Destroyed In MMA Fight With 50-Pound Advantage

Former NFL star Greg Hardy had an embarrassing result in his latest MMA fight.

The former NFL pass rusher, who was arrested and ultimately suspended in 2014-15 amid domestic violence accusations, played in the league for just 2010-15. He's since gotten into MMA.

However, his most recent fight was not a good one. He competed against Darko Stosic at Fight Nation Championship 31. Hardy ended up having a 50-pound advantage during the fight, after missing the projected weigh-in by 25 pounds.

The fight did not end well, as Stosic start the third round with a brutal left hook that knocked Hardy backward.

Stosic then delivered a huge hit to Hardy's jaw, before the referee came in and stopped the bout.

Fans are praising Hardy's opponent for the knockout

Fans loved to see it.

"We all win when Greg Hardy loses," one fan wrote.

"Couldn't happen to a bigger loser," one added.

"It makes me happy to see this piece of trash get knocked out every time. He's only a tough guy when he's DAing a female. I hope he continues his 'career' and gets clobbered every time," one added.

"It's crazy how he had legitimate potential based on his athleticism and size in the worst division in MMA with a bunch of fat slobs… and yet he was a completely failed prospect. Didn't even make it to contender status and then fell off or something. Just… a failure. Wild," one fan added.

"Beautiful overhand.....a defensive end in the NFL's defense doesn't transfer to the MMA," one shared.

It was a very embarrassing result, that's clear.
