Disgraced and controversial former NFL player Greg Hardy made his MMA debut on "Dana White's Tuesday Night Contender Series."

Hardy's debut didn't last long. He knocked out his opponent in 57 seconds.

His knockout impressed UFC President Dana White, who offered him a developmental contract with the organization.

Hardy hasn't played a snap in the NFL since 2015 due to legal issues involving domestic violence and drug possession.
