Former NFL defensive end and current rising MMA star Greg Hardy discussed his new UFC contract with TMZ Sports on Wednesday.
Hardy expressed his belief that making an impact in the UFC can potentially change the outside perception of him, saying, "It would be best to meet me, give me an opportunity. ... I think I can win a lot of people back over to my side."
The 29-year-old earned a UFC contract by virtue of a knockout win over fellow former NFL player Austen Lane in 57 seconds during Dana White's Tuesday Night Contender Series on Tuesday.
