Greg Hardy’s Career

Hardy’s career picked up back when he was at the University of Mississippi, where he made a name for himself while playing football against other universities. Unfortunately, after undergoing surgery on his right foot after a broken bone, his performance started deteriorating.

Later in 2009, Greg had another surgery on the same leg which tremendously affected his career. He was involved in a car accident alongside one of his teammates that made him walk on a cast. After college, Greg joined the Carolina Panthers professional football team in the sixth round and 175th overall during the 2010 NFL Draft. From 2010 to 2015, he played with the Panther, and he, later on, signed a one-year contract with the Dallas Cowboys as a free agent at the cost of $ 11.3 million.

Although his performance at the beginning started well, it greatly declined towards the end of the season, which saw him finish with 32 quarterback pressure and a second with six sacks. Greg participated in The Spring League; however, the same year was rough for him as he was charged with domestic violence. As a result, Hardy was suspended, which led to the end of his football career.

He reinvented himself after the mishap by joining mixed martial arts in 2016. In November 2017, his debut against Joe Hawkins made him victorious. Later on, he won against Kenneth woods and Ryan Chester, earning him respect and officially becoming a professional MMA fighter. Greg had several knock-out victories against Austen Lane, Rasheem Jones, and Tebaris Gordon during his professional career.
