Greg Hardy Targets Three Big Names – Calls Francis Nagannou’s Hands Weak Pillows

Greg Hardy made a statement this weekend with a TKO win over Maurice Green. The former defensive end for the Carolina Panthers made a successful transition to MMA after his NFL career was cut short. ‘The Prince of war’ is known for his heavy hands and his brutal knockouts. 

Hardy made his debut as a professional just two years back and has since amassed some impressive victories in the UFC. He has a secured a staggering 86% of his wins via T/KO. For someone who is extremely new to the sport, Hardy has developed considerably into one of the scariest fighters in the heavyweight division.

Greg Hardy sends a message to the heavyweight division

Following his win against Maurice Green, ‘The Prince Of War’ sent a message to the rest of the heavyweight division. In an interview with Brett Okamoto, he said, “Today is the day. There is no more rookie Greg Hardy. Fear me.”

Hardy continued, “As much trash as I talk, I’m a guy that has morals. I’m a guy who believes in earning that king spot. I think I’m on my way to earning it right now. I think if I take out a couple more big guys, a couple more good names — which I’m looking for, bring it. I think that’s going to be my next move. Big boy shots, title shots. (Francis) Ngannou. Weak pillow hands (Derrick) Lewis. Everybody.”

‘The Prince of War’ fought an impressive five times in 2019. He was 2-1-2 in those five fights. His last fight in 2019 was a loss against Alexander Volkov. Following the loss, Hardy bounced back with an impressive win over De Castro in May this year and followed it up with a stoppage win over Maurice Greene. 

Hardy is currently unranked in the UFC’s heavyweight division. With two impressive wins, Hardy is on track to earn a rank in the division. However, Lewis is booked for a fight this month against Blaydes, and Ngannou is set to fight Stipe for the title. Therefore, Hardy will have to look elsewhere in the heavyweight division for a fight.
