The UFC is giving disgraced former NFL player Greg Hardy a high-profile spot for his UFC debut.
During Saturday night’s UFC 232 broadcast, the promotion revealed its main card bout order for UFC Fight Night: Cejudo vs. Dillashaw, and listed Hardy’s fight vs. Allen Crowder as the co-main event of the evening. It’ll be streamed live via the ESPN+ subscription streaming service on Saturday, January 19th from Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
Hardy’s place on the UFC roster has been subject to much criticism, given his domestic violence past while he was in the National Football League.
