Greg Hardy will square off against Sergey Spivak at UFC 272, promotion officials recently announced.
Hardy was initially slated to face Alexey Oleynik at UFC 270 this Saturday, before Spivak stepped in as a replacement for Oleynik. Shortly thereafter, a gruesome finger injury forced Hardy to withdraw from the card altogether.
UFC 272 takes place on March 5 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas and is headlined by a welterweight grudge match pitting Colby Covington against Jorge Masvidal.
A former NFL Pro Bowler, Hardy is coming off back-to-back KO/TKO defeats inside the Octagon.
