UFC heavyweight Greg Hardy is not shy about what he eventually wants to achieve in his fighting career. In an interview with TMZ Sports prior to his fight against Dmitrii Smoliakov on Saturday, the “Prince of War” is already looking at potential matchups against the likes of Derrick Lewis and former champion Stipe Miocic.
“They’re not in my mind, they’re in my sights, brother,” Hardy said of both fighters. “They’re locked in. With all due time.”
Many feel Hardy is not yet deserving of his UFC opportunities. But from his end, the former NFL defensive end is looking to work his way up the ladder to get the big breaks he’s aspiring for.
