Former NFL star Greg Hardy faced his trials and tribulations in the cage as a mixed martial arts fighter and he was dealt a knockout blow yet again on Saturday.
Hardy faced Darko Stosic at Fight Nation Championship 31. It was supposed to be a heavyweight bout, but Hardy reportedly missed weight by 25 pounds. He had a 52-pound weight advantage over Stosic, although it didn’t seem to matter as much.

Stosic started the third round with a brutal left hook that sent Hardy back. The former Dallas Cowboys and Carolina Panthers defensive end didn’t see Stosic’s punch and it sent him to the mat. Stosic delivered a giant punch to Hardy’s jaw and the referee came in and stopped the fight.
Stosic earned the victory via knockout.
