In the co-main event of UFC Moscow, Greg Hardy stepped in on short notice, after Junior dos Santos was forced to pull with an infection, to take on top-ranked heavyweight Alexander Volkov.

Hardy came into the fight off a No Contest, which was originally a victory before his illegal in-between rounds use of an inhaler, against Ben Sosoli. Prior to that, Hardy was on a two-fight TKO win streak, and had been itching to fight a ranked opponent next.

He got his wish against Volkov, the No. 7-ranked heavyweight in the UFC. Volkov hadn’t fought since October of 2018 when he was knocked out by Derrick Lewis. Volkov was winning the fight for all three rounds against Lewis, before suffering a last-second knockout with seconds left until the fight was about to end.

In the fight, Volkov outclassed Hardy for three rounds in a pretty uneventful contest. Volkov clearly landed the better shots of the pair, but Hardy didn’t look terrible either, exceeding expectations of most, and getting some good licks in himself.

Alexander Volkov returned to the win column at UFC Moscow on Saturday.

Facing Greg Hardy on short notice, Volkov largely dominated the fight by controlling the range and slowly picking the former NFL star apart.

In the end, “Drago” emerged victorious with all three judges unanimously giving him 30-27 scorecards. Hardy had a good display overall, however. He seemed to have hurt his right hand early on but managed to last the full 15 minutes against arguably his toughest task yet.
