A leg kick and overhand right from Darko Stosic finished Greg Hardy at 2:42 of the third round in the FNC 31 co-main event, ending Hardy’s return to MMA with a knockout loss.
Hardy entered with a 52-pound edge after weighing in 25 pounds over the heavyweight limit on Friday, but Stosic capitalized anyway and extended his winning streak to two fights.
The defeat dropped Hardy to 1-1 in MMA since leaving the UFC in 2022, after he had mostly shifted to boxing and won his previous MMA bout in January.
July 18 is already booked for Hardy on a Peak Fighting card in Texas, though the knockout could jeopardize that plan pending recovery and any decision by Texas regulators.
