Jeff Novitzky confirms Greg Hardy not allowed to use inhaler at UFC Moscow

Ex-NFL player Greg Hardy will face his toughest test to date in the UFC when he meets Alexander Volkov in the three-round main event from Moscow on Saturday.

This time, there is no confusion about whether he can use his inhaler.

In October, Hardy had just won a unanimous decision over Ben Sosoli when he was told the victory was being overturned to a no-contest. The decision was handed down by the Massachusetts State Athletic Commission after Hardy used his inhaler between the second and third rounds.

While a ringside inspector gave Hardy the OK, and the drug he used wasn’t strictly banned in- or out-of-competition, MSAC prohibits inhalers from entering the cage during the fight.
