MAURICE GREENE VS GREG HARDY LOWDOWN
Maurice Greene (9-4) is fresh off his emotional win over Gian Villante, finishing him with a arm-triangle in the third round. He looked good, especially after getting finished twice himself (Sergei Pavlovich via knockout and Alexey Oleynik via submission) but Villante moved up a division and has not looked UFC calibre for a while.
He takes on Greg hardy who is looking more competent with every fight. His raw talent and athleticism is well-known but he continues to add more strings to his MMA bow. After two quick finishes and a decision over Ben Sosoli (later overturned for using his inhaler), he stepped up on short notice to take on Alexander Volkov. He inevitably lost but took the Russian to a decision. He followed up that performance with a unanimous decision over Yorgan De Castro back in May.
MAURICE GREENE VS GREG HARDY PREDICTION
Greene is training at Jackson-Wink now which is a great move and he should have a decent strategy lined up. He can hurt Hardy from range and will have a submission threat on the ground.
However, although Hardy is less experienced, his speed, power and explosiveness should swing this firmly in his favour. We have not seen enough from Greene to outline a clear route to victory and we can only assume Hardy will enter the cage an even better fighter.
Another decision is likely but if he is more aggressive, he could easily put Greene to sleep.
Prediction: Hardy via KO/TKO
