Controversy seems to always find Greg hardy.
The former NFL player was in a bout against Ben Sosoli and he would win the match-up, but it would soon be changed to a no-contest at UFC Fight Night in Boston because of Hardy’s unapproved use of an inhaler between the second and third rounds.
Massachusetts State Athletic Commission quickly overturned the unanimous decision win for Hardy after Hardy’s coach provided him the inhaler prior to the third round.
In the video below, hardy could be heard asking an MSAC inspector whether he was allowed to use it, to which he did.
“I was in the ring, me and my coach asked the commission if it would be OK to use my inhaler, and they said yes, so I took it,” Hardy said. “I’m still a new guy in this sport. I did what I do in every situation. I asked permission, I got permission, and I did what I was told.”
Hardy said the inhaler is for exercise-induced asthma, which he has had his whole life.

“It doesn’t help me breathe better. It helps me breathe just like you, pretty much evens the playing field,” Hardy said.
When asked if he would try and get the ruling overturned, Hardy said, “I’m really just worried about what my boss thinks. The worst part for me is here I am letting people down again.”
