Greg Hardys UFC-debut blev en katastrof. Inte nog med att det stormade kring hans plats som co-main event under UFC Brooklyn. Matchen mot Allen Crowder slutade på värsta tänkbara sätt. I andra ronden väljer Hardy att knäa Crowder mot huvudet när han inte står på sina båda fötter, vilket är en otillåten teknik. Matchen slutar därför genom diskvalifikation och Hardy är numera 3-1 i sin unga MMA-karriär. Efter matchen på post-fight-presskonferensen ber Hardy om ursäkt till Crowder och hoppas att han vill möta honom igen.
Twitter var inte nådiga efter stoppet och media, fans och fighters hade en hel del att skriva om galans co-main event. De kan ni läsa nedan.

Greg Hardy just kneed Allen Crowder when he was down. Of course this is how the fight ends. The crowd inside the Barclays are chanting, ”a–hole., a–hole.”#UFCBrooklyn

I saw that knee coming from a mile away. That’s definitely not a good look. #UFCBROOKLYN

Lol it couldnt have gone any other way

Imo crowder was on his way to winning that fight anyways. Hardy was in deep water

Read the rules homie #UFCbrooklyn

He knew it was illegal. Wanted a way out. Women beaters are all cowards.

@GregHardyJr shouldn’t take all the blame for that. These rules keep getting changed. He did wait for one knee to get up and doesn’t have enough experience to do it on purpose Prolly be the best thing for him

That was the worse ending Hardy could possibly ask for.

Nothing like a blatantly illegal knee to make people forget about your “transgressions.”

Well, THAT experiment went well🙄
— Jimmy Smith (@jimmysmithmma) January 20, 2019
I think @GregHardyJr wanted out of that fight. He knew he was losing

Isn’t that how life goes … Greg Hardy #UFConESPN

The irony #UFCBrooklyn
— Mike Jackson, Esq. (@TheTruthJackson) January 20, 2019
That was incredibly unsatisfying.

Well, everyone except Crowder just got exactly what they deserved from this situation

It’s almost like Greg Hardy doesn’t think much before he acts. #UFCBrooklyn

If Greg Hardy wasn’t the most hated man coming into this fight card, he certainly is now. Done himself no favours with the MMA community with that performance.
Allen Crowder wins via DQ and the crowd love it.#UFCBrooklyn— Chamatkar Sandhu (@SandhuMMA) January 20, 2019
.That Was for sure an illegal knee🤦♂️ , very unprofessional, that’s what you can expect from a guy who has only 3 fights in his career, so immature ,he should have been more experienced to make it in the UFC
— Nordine Taleb (@TNT83MMA) January 20, 2019
What do you except when you put that level of inexperience in that high level of a fight? Sad but true #UFCBROOKLYN

Symboliskt (?) att Greg Hardy förlorar för att han inte följer reglerna och inte kan kontrollera sin aggresivitet. Boka rematchen! @kimurasweden #UFCBrooklyn
