Former Greg Hardy opponent, Dmitrii Smoliako, has once again been released by the UFC.

Smoliako had initially signed with the UFC as a heavyweight back in 2016. After two-straight first round losses, Smoliako was cut in 2017. After securing a first-round submission victory in Russia, Smoliako was brought back in to face former NFL star Greg Hardy in his second UFC bout.

Hardy finished Smoliako in the first round via TKO, in what was an extremely poor showing for the Russian. UFC President Dana White was very critical of Smoliako’s performance after the UFC Fort Lauderdale event:

“I’m not gonna say that I loved that fight,” White said. “I’ve been doing this for 20 years. We don’t do set-up fights for anybody,” said White. “If I was a fan, and probably some of the media the way some of the media acts, I would think I don’t know who the f— that guy beat in nine fights, but I’d like to find out the nine guys he beat.

Not to take anything away from Hardy. Hardy came in in great shape. Hardy doesn’t make fights. Me and my guys do. Hardy came in in better shape and he did what he had to do. He treated that guy like he was supposed to. A guy’s record is 9-2; I wanna see the nine guys he beat. You know what I mean? They might be in this room right now, actually.”

Following his knockout to Hardy, Smoliako has once again found himself cut by the Las Vegas-based promotion. The only three losses of his 12-fight career have all occurred under the UFC banner.

Juan Adams rips his next opponent in Greg Hardy in yet another interview leading up to their fight.

The former Fury FC amateur champion is not a fan of the former NFL star as he’s been taking shots at him for months now in order to get a fight under the UFC banner. That wish has been grated. Now, he is opening up on the reasons behind his dislike for Hardy.

Earlier this week it was reported by ESPN’s Brett Okamoto that the UFC is close to finalizing a bout between the two heavyweight fighters at the upcoming UFC San Antonio event.

One of the reason is the fact that Hardy stated after his latest fight that he was “gonna make Bo Jackson look like a joke.” He also stated that he was going to be “the fights sports’ athlete version of what Michael Jordan could be.”

Juan Adams Sounds Off

This didn’t sit well with Adams who disagrees with Hardy being cocky about how his career will go despite only having a few fights under his belt.

“So on top of all those reasons, he’s just stupid on top of all of it,” Adams told MMAFighting. “And the stupidity aspect is really what bothered me more than anything. It really blows my mind and it’s almost incomprehensible how someone can be that delusional and that dumb.”
