Ex-NFL DE Greg Hardy KOs Mike Cook in Boxing Debut in 1st Fight Since UFC Exit

Rob GoldbergOct 9, 2022

Greg Hardy impressed in his professional boxing debut, defeating Mike Cook with a second-round knockout.

Hardy transitioned to boxing after his MMA career began to stall. The former NFL defensive end lost three straight UFC matches from 2020-22, all by knockout, before being removed from the UFC roster in March.

He signed a multi-fight deal with Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship in June.

"I'm back and ready to knock everyone out in the baddest promotion there is," Hardy said at the time.

The 34-year-old came through in his first fight, knocking out a competitor also making his boxing debut at the Black Sheep Boxing Promotions event in Delray Beach, Fla.
