It’s only been a mere 28 days, but former National Football League (NFL) star Greg Hardy is making his mark on amateur mixed martial arts (MMA).

The controversial onetime Carolina Panther and Dallas Cowboy, who was suspended for the majority of 2015 due to a disturbing domestic violence incident and arrested for possession of a controlled substance in 2016, revealed that he would move his athletic talents to the MMA cage instead, and it’s been going quite well for the hulking behemoth.

After scoring his first win by TKO in just 32 seconds on November 4, Hardy got back into the cage to face Kenneth Woods (who was participating in his first amateur MMA bout) at last night’s “American Kombat Alliance: Rite of Passage 2” from The Horseshoe Casino Riverdome in Bossier City, La.

Hardy won the bout by TKO in only 96 seconds this time, securing his second win in just 28 days and showing some potential for his MMA career. It has to be noted he’s facing subpar competition with very few fights on their records, but he’s set a goal to be signed by the UFC as he trains at Florida’s American Top Team. Check out the video of his latest TKO win here:

SportsPotato: Joint Practice Between the Cowboys and Raiders Ends in Bench-Clearing Brawl

There must be something in the air, Nation.

For whatever reason, the Dallas Cowboys and the Oakland Raiders decided to host a joint practice in California yesterday. It did not end well.

The skirmish above is apparently one of several that broke out during the joint practice, which at one point saw Dallas cornerback B.W. Webb struck in the back of the head by a fan brandishing a helmet and respond by taking a swing of his own. To be fair, that fan probably should have known that a cowardice will never go unpunished in these post-Malice in the Palace times.

As of this write-up, the NFL has yet to issue an obligatory hand-wringing statement regarding the incident or disclose any possible fines or suspensions that may be levied. Who am I kidding? There won’t be.

One final thing of note, via ESPN:

“That passion, that’s mostly what I’d hoped what we would get out of getting these teams together,” said Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones, who half-jokingly praised the remarkable power of Raiders offensive lineman Austin Howard’s uppercut punches.
