THE STATISTICS
THE LOWDOWN
The former NFL star returns to the cage to realise his MMA potential but excitingly there is beef to settle as fellow heavyweight Juan Adams has been stirring the pot and making his feelings clear towards the controversial bruiser.
The former defensive end is an athletic beast and if he can continue to tune up his skills and work on his cardio, he is going be a big threat in the division. He has had five fights and starched every opponent, even Allen Crowder, although he delivered an illegal knee to lose the fight via disqualification.
Interestingly, Adams matches up very similarly on paper. All his wins have come via knockout and has a huge bulldozing frame, and has even had to cut weight to hit the 265 lb mark. He strung five knockouts together but stepped up in competition in his last fight against Arjun Bhullar and lost via unanimous decision.
Juan Adams talks to Joshua from Combat Insiders to detail his beef with Greg Hardy:
THE PREDICTION
Both men are going to swing and they will connect which means this fight won’t last long. Adding in the fact they do not like each other at all, we are likely to see a violent exchange.
Adams can easily find the shot to set up the finish and also has wrestling in his arsenal but an angry Hardy is a terrifying prospect and, as he is training at American Top Team, he will be improving at a drastic rate and will have more skills to blow Adams out of the water.
Winner: Hardy via KO/TKO
