Former UFC heavyweight Greg Hardy will make his bare-knuckle boxing debut at Bare Knuckle FC’s KnuckleMania 3 on Feb. 17.
Hardy will face Josh Watson in his first appearance in the BKFC cage. BKFC president Dave Feldman announced the news of Hardy’s debut at the KnuckleMania 3 pre-fight press conference on Thursday.
Hardy vs. Watson joins a stacked lineup for KnuckleMania 3. Diego Sanchez will also make his BKFC debut, and Lorenzo Hunt vs. Mike Richman features in a title matchup.
Hardy made his professional boxing debut last October, earning a second-round knockout over Mike Cook. He followed it up with a unanimous decision victory over Hasim Rahman Jr.
Hardy lost three straight in the UFC before parting ways with the promotion. After transitioning from the NFL to MMA, he earned wins over the likes of Juan Adams and Maurice Greene in the UFC.

Sick of hearing about this women beater
I thought this was about Dan Hardy
Greg Hardy’s mma run wasn’t too impressive. I enjoyed watching him though because he at least he was an elite athlete and not some fat guy
Knucklemania? Sounds like a Lesbo event.
Unless you’re a skilled striker you’re crazy to get in with Hardy especially in bareknuckle. Dude’s massive and hits like a truck.
Im a Lesbian
Hardy should thrive in BKFC
War Dan
He outweighed Rahman by 50lbs.
Why do I get the feeling that Bigfoot Silva will be his next BKFC opponent after this?
That’s what I mean. He’s massive, hard to hurt and can bully most.
It was actually 94 pounds
Alan Belcher fights HW champ Arnold Adams for the title next month.
I imagine Hardy will be competing for the HW title next year if he stays committed to BK.
Goddamnit I thought you meant Dan hardy. He’s from Nottingham like me and robin hood. Although I’ve not met him.
Phixed Phor all the Phags who thought Dan Hardy was Bareing it all
He has Not Met You2 is the bummer
