With Hardy losing by knockout, he drops to 2-1 in the Team Combat League. He had picked up a decision win over Donte White – in a one-round fight – and knocked out Norman Neely in the first round, with both fights happening on May 18.

“What a run, ya boy is far from done just got some fine tuning to do. Thank you to all my fans and haters. I appreciate you all. Mostly i appreciate my coaches, family, and the @ufc for giving me the opportunity to shine bright,” Hardy wrote on Instagram.

Alexander Flores (18-3-1) has fought some top-level heavyweight boxers as he suffered a 45-second knockout loss to Luis Ortiz back in November 2020. In his career, he has boxed the likes of Joseph Parker, Charles Martin, and Henry Namauu among others. This also wasn’t the first time Flores boxed an MMA fighter as he was part of Triller’s Triad Combat event in 2021 where he beat Matt Mitrione by decision.
