The difference between Greg Hardy’s first UFC win and his disqualification loss is “night and day,” according to his coach.
Billy Padden, who works as a boxing coach at American Top Team in south Florida, said Hardy let the bright lights of the UFC get to him when he made his promotional debut at UFC Brooklyn in January. Hardy landed an illegal knee in his heavyweight bout against Allen Crowder and was disqualified as a result of it.
“We all knew Greg was better than what he showed when he fought Allen Crowder,” Padden told Bloody Elbow.
