Former Pro Bowl defensive end Greg Hardy's UFC debut didn't go as planned. Allen Crowder played the role of spoiler and ended his undefeated streak with a second-round disqualification win over Hardy in the co-main event of UFC on ESPN+ 1 from Brooklyn, New York, on Saturday.
Hardy wasted no time in getting after Crowder. He attacked early with overhand rights looking for the early knockout, but Crowder was wise to tie up and officially make this the longest fight of Hardy's short MMA career.
Crowder quickly gave Hardy another first for his MMA career: first time being taken down.
