Dana White says Rachael Ostovich has given her approval for the UFC to book Greg Hardy on the same card as her.
On Thursday, the UFC president told TSN that he spoke with Ostovich and her feedback was a “key factor” in the promotion scheduling Hardy to fight on the UFC on ESPN+ card Jan. 19 in Brooklyn. Hardy, a former NFL star, has a history of domestic violence, while Ostovich was allegedly attacked and hospitalized by her husband, fellow fighter Arnold Berdon, last month.
“First of all, I called Rachael Ostovich and talked to her and walked her through this situation,” White told the UFC’s Canadian broadcast partner.
