Greg Hardy is set to make his return to the octagon just days after his recent win was overturn to a no contest.
With Junior dos Santos ruled out of his November 10 bout with Alexander Volkov it seems Greg Hardy can not be kept away.
Greg Hardy to Return in Two Weeks
Brett Okamotto of ESPN announced minutes ago that the management of Hardy reached out to the UFC to ask for the fight. Careful what you wish for because they got the fight.
This will be mere weeks between fights and a massive step up in competition.
Breaking: “When is Greg Hardy going to take a step up in competition?” The answer is Nov. 9, as he’s agreed to replace Junior dos Santos against Alexander Volkov in Moscow. According to Hardy’s agent Malki Kawa, this was at his request. More soon at @espn. pic.twitter.com/pgb1wUMXL5

At this time we are unsure if the bout will remain a main event.
This will also make Greg Hardy the first UFC heavyweight in the modern era to compete five times within a calendar year.
Do you think Greg Hardy is ready for a main event slot against a legitimate contender like Alexander Volkov?
