Round 1
Green opens up with a leg kick but Hardy checks it. Hardy looks aggressive, Green appears to have hurt himself and Hardy takes him down immediately. Greene is now on his back taking shots from Hardy. Hardy passes to half guard and keeps landing some ground and pound. Hardy seems happy with staying on top but the referee urges him to stay active. Hardy lands some elbows before standing back up and letting his opponent return to his feet. Another leg kick lands for Greene, he then lands a nice step-in knee as Hardy tries to get inside. Hardy comes back with a leg kick of his own. Greene misses with a combination and is breathing heavily as the round ends.
10-9 Hardy
Round 2
Greene is the first to land, he follows a right hand with a nice jab. Both fighters exchange leg kicks in the center. Greene lands a nice jab but he gets countered with a lead uppercut. Hardy drops him and follows him on the ground! He then unleashes some nasty ground and pound and it’s all over!
