SUNRISE, Fla. – It’s fair to say UFC president Dana White isn’t a newly made fan of Dmitrii Smoliakov . Smoliakov squared off with former NFL All-Pro Greg Hardy in Saturday night’s co-main event of UFC on ESPN+ 8, but the heavyweight matchup wasn’t much of a contest. The fight resembled something more like an old-school television pro wrestling “squash” match, in which a nobody was deliberately put in the ring to make the star look good, than it did a high-level MMA fight
