One of the biggest talking points heading into the UFC’s ESPN debut at UFC Brooklyn was the prime placement of MMA novice Greg Hardy. Unlike most other prospects, Hardy, who was 3-0 heading into the event, was put in the co-main event for his UFC debut against the unheralded Allen Crowder. It was meant to be a showcase fight for Hardy but ended up highlighting all the wrong things, as after losing the first round, Hardy ended up being disqualified in the second after illegally kneeing Crowder in the head when he was down. The entire thing was a fiasco and, according to UFC commentator Joe Rogan, reinforced the belief that the UFC has completely mismanaged Hardy’s situation.
