Greg Hardy is coming off two back-to-back losses against Marcin Tybura and Tai Tuivasa. Unfortunately, he suffered T/KO in both of these fights. Similarly, Spivak too is coming off a recent loss through a T/KO by Tom Aspinall.
So it looks like this is a good matchup. Media personality Ariel Helwani first reported this news.
Aleksei Oleinik is out of next weekend’s fight at UFC 270 versus Greg Hardy, sources say.
Hardy will now face Sergey Spivak.

‘Prince of War’ has a 7-4-0 MMA record, whereas Spivak sports a 13-3-0 record. Thus, the latter is a little more experienced.
It seems like Spivak could be a much tougher opponent for Hardy than Oleinik. ‘The Polar Bear’ was on a three-fight winning streak before his recent loss. He also managed to defeat Oleinik back in June 2021. Therefore, Hardy and Spivak are two tough fighters, fans expect an explosion in the octagon.
The former NFL player made his UFC debut in 2019. However, he has just one fight left on his contract. Hence, it will be interesting to see him fight Spivak soon.
