Sigh. It's times like this one where you really just have to force yourself to look on the bright side, as it's too easy to be led into darkness by the ruthlessness of the business practices that have an unapologetic beater of women and a disgraced former football player once again profiting off violence. In combat sports where at least one person is almost guaranteed to get their ass kicked, a despicable piece of human trash is as good of a draw as a beloved brute. The concept of a heel is not new, but that doesn't make it any easier to stomach a victory for someone who might use his as a weapon against a defenseless victim that didn't cook his eggs to his liking. So, try to ignore that Dana White is being as hypocritical as any other "good" business man in feeding a monster a couple minnows while watching the coins that come as a result of universal contempt pile up...
I know it's difficult to do so, but the harder Greg Hardy hits, the more impossible it becomes to forget that he used those same hands to throw someone half his size onto a stack of semi-automatic weapons. To anyone that possesses a long term memory, his temporary success make his past that much harder to escape. Not occupationally, apparently, but in the eyes of viewers he's as much of a psychotic piece of shit as he's ever been. Of course we are all eager to see his comeuppance. However, the fact that the fighter in question can't be viewed separate of his sins will have to hold us over until the UFC has fully milked it's new cash cow and finally sends it out for slaughter against an opponent that doesn't step into the octagon looking like he also just saw the ghosts of Greg Hardy's past.
