Former Carolina Panthers and Dallas Cowboys defensive end Greg Hardy is set to make his MMA debut as part of the “Dana White Tuesday Night Contender Series” in a heavyweight fight June 12, according to multiple reports. Hardy has gone 3-0 in his amateur fights since his last game in the NFL with the Cowboys in 2015. All three of his wins have come via knockout. Hardy will reportedly fight Brandon Sayles (5-1) in the first episode of the upcoming season. At least one participant in the “Dana White Tuesday Night Contender Series” is offered a multi-fight deal by UFC at the end of each episode. Hardy made the Pro Bowl and was second-team All-Pro as a member of the Panthers in 2013.

The Golden Knights are well aware of the Kings’ history as the series resumes Tuesday with Game 4 in Los Angeles. The Kings may have caught the Sharks off-guard four years ago, but they couldn’t do it again in 2016, when the Sharks took a 2-0 series lead and went on to win the series in five.

After all, it’s kind of hard to both make history and fly under the radar.
“We have to stay composed,” said Vegas left winger James Neal. “I like the way we’ve been all year. The games are going to get ramped up. The emotions are running high and it gets physical out there. It’s tough. I just try to settle our group down, and [if we] continue to play our game and we’ll be fine. They’re going to have a hard push. It’s going to be a desperate team. They’ve been in this situation before and they’ve won in this situation before, so we can’t take shifts off and we’ll continue to preach that.”
