It wasn’t the decisive victory many expected, but Alexander Volkov comfortably beat Greg Hardy on Saturday in the UFC on ESPN+ 21 co-main event. After Junior Dos Santos fell out of the original matchup due to injury, Hardy (5-2 MMA, 2-2 UFC) stepped in on short notice off a 22-day turnaround from his most recent UFC fight to face Volkov (31-7 MMA, 5-1 UFC), who returned to the octagon from a 13-month layoff. Volkov didn’t get the big finish, but he outpointed the controversial former NFL star over three rounds to win a clear-cut unanimous decision
