UFC Moscow Alexander Volkov vs Greg Hardy

UFC Moscow went down on Saturday night at the CSKA Arena, in Moscow, Russia. The main event saw home favourite Zabit Magomedsharipov versus Calvin Kattar, who are ranked four and eleven in the UFC featherweight rankings.

In the co-main event, Greg Hardy stepped up on late notice to replace Junior dos Santos, to take on Alexander Volkov in a heavyweight clash. Elsewhere on the card, Danny Roberts scored a spectacular knockout over Zelim Imadaev.

This is how the MMA world reacted to UFC Moscow:

Zabit Magomedsharipov vs Calvin Kattar:

Zabit has no cardio and can’t go 5 rounds in main event? #Weak #TrackRunner

Quick hands on both ends! #UFCMoscow

Zabit is doing a very good job of countering the jab and following with a long cross. I think when Kattar attacks he should finish with low kicks off his hands because Zabit pulls back and retreats quickly. Gotta slow him down

Well done Volkov ???.
Let's go now and please don't turn this down again.#UFCMoscow #UNCROWNEDCHAMP

Hardy fighting with a broken hand doesn’t bode well for his chances of victory #UFCMoscow
— Curtis Blaydes (@RazorBlaydes265) November 9, 2019

Hardy has less weapons than JDS and he trained for 5 rounds and fought 3 so the output should have increased IMO….especially when Hardy is barely throwing his power hand the last two rounds cause it was apparently broken midway thru the first from a blocked kick
— Curtis Blaydes (@RazorBlaydes265) November 9, 2019

Body kicks from Volkov are keeping Hardy a little bit more at bay and stopping him from committing so hard. Let’s see if Hardy bites down and goes for it more this round. I think he is down 2 rounds
— Chris Camozzi (@ChrisCamozzi) November 9, 2019

Lets keep in mind, that 3 years ago, @GregHardyJr didnt know how to throw a punch, he didnt know what "pummeling" or "shrimping" was… 3 years later he fought the #7 heavyweight on 3 weeks notice in his 5th fight in a calendar year.
