Greg Hardy's professional MMA debut will be against another former NFL'er who hung up his cleats for gloves.
The UFC announced Hardy will face off against Austen Lane as part of the promotion's new Tuesday Night Contender Series.
"At the end of the day, when we go in the cage, we're just going to be two fighters. Obviously we'll both have some athleticism that has carried over from the NFL but I don't consider him former NFL player Greg Hardy, I consider him MMA fighter Greg Hardy and that's how I'm going to approach what he's bringing to the table," Lane said in an interview with FloCombat.
