Bookings were confirmed by MMA Fighting on Thursday. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MyMMANews\/status\/1615819965113802768\" target=\"_blank\">MyMMANews<\/a>.<\/p>\n<aside id=\"9qxzPE\">\n<\/aside>\n<p id=\"geBQQ2\">After leaving the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) in March 2022 after posting a 4-5 (1 NC) record, Hardy signed with the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) this summer. Hardy, who stopped in the professional boxing ring last October with a vicious knockout win, will make his first official bare-knuckle boxing appearance next month.<\/p>\n<aside id=\"379wuT\">\n<\/aside>\n<p id=\"PmBHY7\">The former UFC heavyweight will take on Josh Watson at BKFC Knucklemania 3 on February 17 from inside the Tingley Coliseum in Albuquerque, New Mexico. A clash of heavyweights is expected to appear on the main card. There is nothing remarkable about Watson, but he is now a seasoned veteran with his 1-1 record inside the BKFC ring.<\/p>\n<aside id=\"4iAl3B\">\n<\/aside>\n<p id=\"ZibRzh\">Hardy, 34, should do well as a bare-knuckle boxer. The former MMA fighter is renowned for his punching power and has delivered an equally impressive three knockout finishes inside the Octagon. The fact that Hardy doesn&#8217;t have to worry about a game, a long clinch, or his three five-minute rounds should bode well for &#8220;Prince of War&#8221; to move forward.<\/p>\n<p id=\"K2iYEo\">BKFC KnuckleMania 3 will also feature the bare knuckle boxing debuts of former UFC veterans Diego Sanchez and John Dodson. Expected to be the biggest card of the year&#8217;s promotion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/__i\/rss\/rd\/articles\/CBMijAFodHRwczovL3d3dy5tbWFtYW5pYS5jb20vMjAyMy8xLzIwLzIzNTY0NzExL2dyZWctaGFyZHktc2V0LXRvLW1ha2UtYmFyZS1rbnVja2xlLWRlYnV0LWF0LWJrZmMta251Y2tsZW1hbmlhLTMtdGhpcy1mZWJydWFyeS11ZmMtYm94aW5nLXdhdHNvbtIBmQFodHRwczovL3d3dy5tbWFtYW5pYS5jb20vcGxhdGZvcm0vYW1wLzIwMjMvMS8yMC8yMzU2NDcxMS9ncmVnLWhhcmR5LXNldC10by1tYWtlLWJhcmUta251Y2tsZS1kZWJ1dC1hdC1ia2ZjLWtudWNrbGVtYW5pYS0zLXRoaXMtZmVicnVhcnktdWZjLWJveGluZy13YXRzb24?oc=5\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Former NFL star Greg Hardy no longer needs to worry about top heavyweights beating him inside the Octagon.Instead, the &#8216;Prince of War&#8217; swapped mixed<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9491,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":[],"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9490","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-boxing-mma-combat-sports","two-columns"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/1327899398.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9490","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9490"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9490\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9491"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9490"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9490"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9490"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
