Greg Hardy loses by disqualification at UFC Brooklyn

Allen Crowder said he envisioned a second-round stoppage of Greg Hardy in their heavyweight bout at UFC Brooklyn.

What he likely didn't figure on was that it would be via disqualification and he would be helped out of the octagon. Yet, Crowder walked off to a hero's applause as he earned the victory over Hardy by disqualification for an illegal strike in the second round at Barclays Center on Saturday night.

As Crowder (10-3, 1-1 UFC) had a knee on the ground, Hardy threw a hard right knee that connected flush and sent Crowder backward. Referee Dan Miragliotta quickly paused the fight and sent Hardy to a neutral as doctors came in to examine Crowder. Moments later, the fight was waived off at the 2:28 mark of round two.
