As soon as Hardy found his way back to his feet, he was slammed on the mat yet again shortly thereafter. However, the second instance saw Spivac move to full mount and drop heavy bombs to put his American counterpart away for good.

Spivac entered the clash with Hardy coming off a first-round TKO loss against Tom Aspinall at UFC Vegas 36. He returned to the win column with a decisive performance against the 'Prince of War'.

Hardy is currently 2-3 in his last five fights. The fight against Spivac marked the last bout of his current contract. Considering the losing streak that he currently finds himself on, another contract from the UFC seems unlikely.
