In an ironic twist, Greg Hardy will get the spotlight on ESPN in his first UFC event.
I wonder what Jason Witten thinks about that?
Greg Hardy’s 1st UFC opponent says he has extra motivation to destroy the ex-NFL star — telling TMZ Sports he wants to get the victory to honor Rachael Ostovich.
Hardy is set to fight Allen Crowder at UFC on ESPN on Jan. 19 — the same night Ostovich will return to the Octagon after her domestic violence incident.
FYI, Hardy was found guilty of domestic violence by a judge in 2014 — but the conviction was thrown out in 2015 when he appealed to have the case go in front of a jury … and his accuser stopped cooperating with prosecutors.
“I definitely want to win this fight for [Ostovich]. I’m very against men beating women. And, I’m definitely not a woman, so he’s gonna have a lot harder time with me then he did the last person.”
“I’m gonna get that win for her.”
Interesting times.
