Greg Hardy is set for his first fight of 2020. Hardy will take on Yorgan De Castro at UFC on ESPN 8 from the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio on March 28. The fight was made official yesterday (Fri. December 28, 2019).

Hardy is coming off the first year of his run with the UFC, going 2-2 with one No Contest. His two victories came via TKO, with his losses coming via disqualification and unanimous decision. In his last outing, Hardy stepped in on short notice to face top-ranked Alexander Volkov. Although he was outclassed throughout the fight, Hardy impressed with his ability to go 15 minutes with one of the best in the world.

As for Castro, he is undefeated in his mixed martial arts (MMA) career with a record of 6-0. Castro was discovered on Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series, where he earned a UFC contract with a first-round TKO. He followed that up with an impressive Octagon debut against Justin Tafa, who he knocked out in the first round at UFC 243.

It will be interesting to see if Castro can hang with an athlete of Hardy’s caliber. On the flip side, it will be interesting to see how Hardy handles an impressive and streaking prospect such as Castro, who is undefeated. Also announced for the card is a light heavyweight bout between Khalil Rountree and Sam Alvey, as well as a bantamweight bout between Louis Smolka and Davey Grant.

It looks like Greg Hardy received quite the pep talk before his UFC Moscow co-main event this past weekend. Hardy met Alexander Volkov in Russia on Saturday afternoon, but couldn’t get the job done, losing via decision.

Prior to the fight, however, Hardy received a Cameo video message from UFC Hall Of Famer Randy Couture, wishing Hardy good luck before his fight. Cameo is a service in which fans can buy personalized shoutout messages from their favorite celebrities.

Couture is one of several names in mixed martial arts (MMA) who provide the service. In his video, Couture wished Hardy good luck against Volkov, commended him on fighting for the fifth time this year, and joked about his previous inhaler use.

Check it out here:

Couture is just getting over a heart attack that he suffered late last month. The incident occurred after a workout at his gym. Couture then walked himself to the hospital where he was treated immediately. He released the following statement shortly after.

“Contrary to recent rumors, I have not kicked the bucket yet,” Couture wrote. “I am alive and well. Special thanks to the amazing staff at Cedars Sinai Hospital. From the ER to cardiac ICU thanks for taking care of me.

“I’m one of those people that has crazy thick blood and nominally high bad cholesterol. Unfortunately, those 2 factors combined to create a nice clot including my diagonal artery. The (catheterization laboratory) at Cedars got right on it, cleared it out and placed a stent in its place.

“Thanks to all of you out there expressing your concern. Your love and support mean the world to me and my family. Live your lives to the fullest. You never know when you’ll draw that last breath in!”

What do you make of Couture’s good luck video to Hardy?
