If Shawne Merriman's move to professional fighting goes well, he would be open to challenging Greg Hardy.
Speaking to TMZ Sports, Merriman noted he'd welcome the chance to fight Hardy after his own debut with the World Bare Knuckle Fighting Federation on Nov. 9.
"I'll definitely be open to see what Greg Hardy got to offer," Merriman said.
The former NFL superstars have transitioned into the world of combat sports after their playing careers ended. Hardy has made waves in mixed martial arts, winning each of his first two professional fights and receiving a UFC contract in June.
