When Greg Hardy was brutally knocked out in his Bareknuckle debut upset

Former NFL player turned MMA fighter Greg Hardy made his highly-anticipated bare-knuckle boxing debut earlier this year in February at Bare Knuckle FC's Knucklemania 3 event.

Despite being heavily favored to win, the "Prince of War" suffered a devastating defeat to Josh Watson in round two after being knocked out by a well-placed left hook.

This came after Hardy signed with BKFC in June 2022 and was eagerly anticipated by fans to see how he would fare in the sport. Prior to his foray into bare-knuckle boxing, Hardy had already made a name for himself in MMA, having competed in amateur competitions in 2016 before landing a spot on Dana White's Contender Series.

Greg Hardy's promising football career hit a snag in 2014 when he was convicted of assaulting his girlfriend, which led to a downward spiral in his career. Hardy, who once dominated the defensive line as a member of the Carolina Panthers and Dallas Cowboys, now works as an employee at Walmart.

During his peak, Hardy was a force to be reckoned with on the field, boasting an impressive 15 sacks in the 2013 season. It earned him a place on the Second-Team All-Pro and his first and only Pro Bowl selection. However, his legal troubles proved to be a turning point in his career, and he has since transitioned to the world of combat sports.
