Its been nice, hasnt it? All that quiet without Greg Hardy in the NFL. Sure, there have been issues this year, but most havent been accompanied by photos of a woman allegedly battered at the hands of the 6-foot-4 defensive end.?But instead, Hardy is redirecting his athletic career and training to become an MMA fighter, he told MMAFighting.com Tuesday.?Its a desperate attempt to stay relevant after the NFL put his football career on hold. Hardy was a toxic presence on the Cowboys and, before that, on the Panthers. In May 2014, he was arrested on charges of assault and communicating threats, and a North Carolina judge found him guilty in a bench trial. He asked for a jury trial instead, and when the alleged victim declined to cooperate and prosecutors dropped charges instead of proceeding, he was cleared of all wrongdoing.?While the NFL was investigating the alleged incident, he missed all but one game with the Panthers. After the investigation, the league initially suspended him for 10 games, but then reduced that punishment to four games, and Hardy made his return to the football field with the Cowboys in Week 4 of the 2015 season. But he fought and feuded with coaches and teammates on the sideline.?And last month, he was arrested after a traffic stop and search turned up cocaine in his wallet. He claims it was planted.?So then it isnt surprising that Hardy, 28, hasnt been picked up by another NFL team and needs a Plan B. (Even if a team did become interested in Hardy, he wouldnt be able to play until the NFLs conduct division investigated the most recent arrest). And a declaration that he wants to take up MMA gets Hardy some attention.But while it reminds teams that hes an athlete, it also brings forth memories that he was accused of inflicting damage on another person.MMA has dealt with these issues before. Bellator, an MMA promotion company, immediately ejected Jon Koppenhaver, aka War Machine, after seeing the near-lethal injuries onetime girlfriend Christy Mack posted to social media after the 2014 attack.?His decision isnt linked to a particular MMA league, but unfortunately, all Hardy needs is one promoter to see a payday in Hardy and stoke his violent image and NFL association for a gate and TV package.Its the worst kind of sports story, wrenching one last spotlight from the yawn of troubled irrelevance. It almost doesnt matter if he can fight -- hell be big and imposing, and its perhaps even better for the fans if he gets pummeled.But let me offer Hardy some free advice. The part of your personality thats geared toward violence? That shouldnt be the part you try to cultivate. And those parties where, as you said in your defense, someone puts a bag of cocaine in your wallet as youre passing it around? You should probably avoid those as well.Hardys opportunity has so far come to a dead end in the NFL, but he has a long life ahead of him. He could make some different choices that might help set him on a better path instead of stoking the worst of his impulses.New York Mets Pro Shop .
