Former NFL star Greg Hardy picked up his first official UFC win in the co-main event of UFC Fight Night 150 in Sunrise, Florida, on Saturday with a first-round TKO win over Dmitrii Smoliakov.
Hardy came out with a much more measured approach than he did in his debut. He took his time in the early going touching his opponent with a right hand that established his power early on then waited for the next opening.
He didn't have to wait long. Smoliakov was hesitant from the get-go to offer much resistance to Hardy's advancing and shelled up as Hardy began to open up.
