NEW YORK – Heather Hardy had one of the more memorable MMA debuts in recent history at Bellator 180, and after her winning performance, the professional boxing standout said she’s head over heels for the sport. “I think I just fell in love,” Hardy told reporters following her win over Alice Yauger. “I just worked so hard, and now I can say I did it too. A lot of people said I couldn’t do it or I wouldn’t do it. And I did.” Hardy (1-0 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) defeated Yauger (4-6 MMA, 0-2 BMMA) by third-round TKO at Saturday’s event, which took place at Madison Square Garden. The women’s flyweight fight aired on Spike’s Bellator 180 broadcast prior to the Bellator NYC event on pay-per-view.
