Serghei Spivac had little trouble dispatching Greg Hardy at UFC 272, achieving what commentator Joe Rogan called an “easy” victory in the main-card opener.
Spivac (14-3 MMA, 5-3 UFC) used his superior ground arsenal to take down former NFL standout Hardy (7-5 MMA, 4-5 UFC) and pound his way to the TKO at the 2:16 mark of Round 1. The heavyweight bout took place Saturday at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Hardy came out firing some hard leg kicks. They exchanged strikes, then they tied up in a clinch exchange that resulted in Spivac hip-tossing Hardy to the canvas. Hardy would get up, but Spivac kept control of the waist and picked Hardy up multiple times. One of his tosses went right into mount, and Spivac unloaded with a flurry of punches that forced the stoppage.
