That's true, but War Machine was dealt a pretty raw hand from the beginning with his Dad dying/Mom being a drug addict. It wasn't until he fell out of MMA a bit, started doin prom and dating a porn star a that he started going off the rails. There's a possibility he already would have killed someone like Mack long ago, opposed to beating her and the beau up. It's hard to say but it seems martial arts usually gives guys like Tyson chances for a good life and some semblance of normalcy that would have been otherwise impossible.

I'll atleast root for Hardy to do well. He does seem like a nice guy from the interviews and humbled. It's hard to slack in MMA, where as you can cut different corners in football and are surrounded by idiots and other equally troubled people.

I forgot about his back story. Yea you bring up a valid point.
 
Don't want to see him in the Octagon personally beating a woman is way crossing the line. Other shit I can prob overlook but not that.

Do you want to see Nick Diaz ever fight in the UFC again? I'm not saying he's guilty as charged, but Hardy was never convicted/found guilty either, was he?

Did you watch Conor-Floyd last year? Pretty sure Floyd actually did get convicted for beating his ex (or maybe just "holding her hostage" or some shit)
 
Short of murder any NFL player that wants to transition to the UFC should be given a chance regardless of criminal history.
 
Voted no for a couple reasons

Not because I think people with bad pasts shouldn't be allowed into MMA because every pro sport has people who have done terrible shit and rebounded including this one

Voted no because 1. The mainstream media is gonna pick this shit up and make the sport I like look even trashier than it already does and 2. because no one with 1 fight should be getting into the UFC unless they have an elite background in another combat sport. Like Bork and his NCAA championship
 
My opinion is more one of ambivalence than anything. I don't really care... yet. One way or the other. I like the idea of a developmental deal but they better keep him on a short leash.

No major issues with him getting a contract, he'll catch a beating eventually.

I do have a big issue with Chris Curtis not getting a deal last night
 
I like how all of you just label him as a piece of shit. I'm sure all of you aren't fucking perfect little angels yourself but no spotlight on you. Jon Jones is a pos as well but he's still p4p #1 so let him fight and move on.

The majority of us aren't women beaters though.

That ship has sailed a long time ago. They let in CM Punk who looked like he regressed since his last fight with Mick Gall.
 
He's not "in the UFC", he was signed to a developmental deal. This means the UFC will allow him to fight in designated promotions like LFA, and might bring him back to the Contender Series. He shouldn't be making his UFC debut any time soon.
he'll be fighting in the UFC in less than a year.

Book it
 
So as a fan I should want them to make it worse?

Who's to say it will make it worse? There are plenty of fighters with fucked up backgrounds. Andrea KGB Lee's husband is a damn nazi and killed a guy for parking in his driveway.
 
I agree with TS. Let's see what the guys got, and hope he doesn't fuck up.

That's not her it's her husband and no one gives a fuck about Andrea Lee

People care about Greg Hardy

And they're making the level of fighting worse by letting people in before they're ready. Let Bellator have the bum fights on their main cards enough of this shit. If you want Greg Hardy locked down just keep turning him out on the contender series until he has some experience, a 1-0 guy with no combat sports background on a UFC card is ridiculous
