Greg Hardy earned a UFC contract with a quick knockout in his pro debut on the Tuesday Night Contender Series last month. Following the win, UFC president Dana White said he wanted him back in the cage as soon as possible. And that appears to be exactly what’s happening - but it won’t take place on an official UFC card.
According to an ESPN report that was confirmed by MMA Fighting, Hardy will return to the Contender Series on August 7th to meet Tebaris Gordon.
Gordon has been fighting since 2013.
