Former UFC heavyweight Greg Hardy is set to make his bare-knuckle boxing debut at BKFC KnuckleMania 3.<\/p>\n

Bare Knuckle FC KnuckleMania 3 takes place on Friday, February 17th at the Tingley Coliseum in Albuquerque, NM.<\/p>\n

BKFC president, Dave Feldman, announced the news of Hardy\u2019s debut at the KnuckleMania 3 pre-fight press conference yesterday, January 19th.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the press conference, Hardy said:<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a beautiful day in the neighborhood. This is what I do. Big-time shows, big-time events. I hope ya\u2019ll don\u2019t miss it. Buy the tickets, because it\u2019s going to be entertaining as hell. I never let you down. I never quit on you. Either I leave on a stretcher, or they leave on a stretcher, and it\u2019s about to happen again. It\u2019s about to be amazing. How can you not be excited about this?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Greg Hardy will be facing Josh Watson, a two-fight BKFC veteran.<\/p>\n

Watson is coming off of a first-round knockout win over Kyle McElroy at BKFC 28 this past August.<\/p>\n

Hardy, an ex-NFL defensive end, turned fighter, found early success in his UFC career with victories over Maurice Greene, Yorgan de Castro and Juan Adams. But then Greg Hardy (7-5 MMA) lost 3 fights in a row in the Octagon<\/a> before parting ways with the UFC in 2022 after finishing out his contract.<\/p>\n

The 34-year-old \u2018Prince of War\u2019 has competed twice in professional boxing, knocking out Mike Cook last October and defeating Hasim Rahman Jr.<\/a> by unanimous decision in November.<\/p>\n

Are you looking forward to Hardy\u2019s bare knuckle boxing debut? Do you think he can defeat Josh Watson?<\/p>\n
