Greg Hardy defeated Ryan Chester by first-round knockout in just 14 seconds at LFA 33 on Friday nightin a heavyweight MMA bout at The Bomb Factory in Dallas.
Hardy improved to 3-0 as an amateur fighter with the victory, while Chester fell to 3-2.
Eli Jordan of 1310 The Ticket tweeted a photo of Hardy’s winning punch:
Pat Doney of NBC Dallas-Fort Worth tweeted a video of Hardy’s entrance prior to the bout:
According to Mark Francescutti of the Dallas Morning News, Hardy fought Chester for free.
The one-time Pro Bowler made millions during a six-year NFL career with the Carolina Panthers and Dallas Cowboys that spanned from 2010 through 2015.
He spent his first five campaigns with Carolina before the team released him.
The former Ole Miss standout was found guilty of communicating threats to and assaulting his former girlfriend, Nicole Holder, in 2014.
Upon his appeal, however, the charges were dismissed after Holder told prosecutors she did not want to testify in a second trial before she vanished, and the charges were later expunged from Hardy’s record.
Hardy registered 35 combined tackles, 6.0 sacks and one interception during his one season with the Cowboys in 2015, but no NFL team has signed him since then.
In 75 career NFL games, Hardy racked up 40.0 sacks.
Hardy, now 29 years old, signed with the Richmond Roughriders of the American Arena League in January, and he told TMZ Sports that he intended to play football and continue MMA.
By virtue of Friday’s victory over Chester, Hardy may be moving closer to a professional MMA career should he decide to pursue it.

Although Brock Lesnar remains under contract with WWE, UFC President Dana White said Wednesday on FS1’s UFC Tonight that he could see the WWE Universal champion potentially stepping back into the Octagon.
White addressed the situation in the following video:
In the interview (h/t Dana Becker of WrestlingInc.com), White said, “Anything is possible. Brock has always shown interest in coming over and fighting here in the UFC. I wouldn’t be shocked if he gave it one more shot.”
Lesnar’s last UFC fight came while still under contract with WWE at UFC 200 in July 2016.
While Lesnar initially defeated Mark Hunt by unanimous decision, the bout was later changed to a no contest after Lesnartested positivefor anti-estrogen agent clomiphene.
Lesnar was suspended for one year, but as of July 2017, he stillhadn’t re-enteredthe United States Anti-Doping Agency testing pool.
That means his suspension is frozen one year until he does decide to re-enter.
Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter (h/tMarc Middletonof WrestlingInc.com) reported in October that Lesnar’s contract runs through WrestleMania 34 in April.
Meltzer added that Lesnar would have certain obligations with WWE through August if it expires, but the expectation is Lesnar will exercise the option to renew it.
The 40-year-old Lesnar is 5-3 in his MMA career with one no contest. He beat Randy Couture to win the UFC Heavyweight Championship in 2008 and had successful defenses against Frank Mir and Shane Carwin before dropping it to Cain Velasquez.
