Former NFL All-Pro Greg Hardy cashed a six-figure payday for his first Octagon win at UFC Fort Lauderdale.
The Florida State Boxing Commission released the event’s finalized salary information on Tuesday to MMA Fighting.
Hardy, a controversial former defensive end for the Carolina Panthers and Dallas Cowboys, scored a first-round knockout over Dmitrii Smoliakov in the night’s co-main event. The 30-year-old heavyweight prospect earned a $150,000 purse for his first UFC victory, while Smoliakov earned just $10,000 in defeat.
UFC Fort Lauderdale took place April 27 at the BB&T Center in Sunrise, Florida.
