Greg Hardy Decision Overturned Due to Illegal Medication

Looking visibly tired towards the end of the second round, Greg Hardy and his team decided to medicate between rounds.
Asking an Athletic Commission Inspector if they could use an inhaler for Greg Hardy’s asthma they were told they could.
They were told wrong but someone who did not have the authority to allow this.

UFC Vice President of Regulatory Affairs, Marc Ratner, joined former champions Daniel Cormier and Dominick Cruz in stating that this was illegal during the broadcast.

The fight continued though and a decision was given to Greg Hardy at the end of the third round. Interestingly no post fight interview was given and there seemed to be a lot of confusion by the broadcasters as to what had happened.

Following the broadcast it was announced that the decision win was being overturned to a no contest due to the use of the inhaler.
Greg Hardy made the following statement.
