UFC boss says former NFLer with violent past deserves a second chance
TORONTO — A former football player chased from the NFL following a domestic violence charge. And a female fighter whose husband faces a charge of attempted murder for allegedly assaulting her.
UFC president Dana White says Rachael Ostovich has no problem with former Carolina Panther and Dallas Cowboy Greg Hardy sharing the high-profile January card.
“I talked to Rachel Ostovich. Rachel said ‘His story isn’t my story,’” White said in an interview Thursday. “‘Everybody’s story is different and this guy’s never done anything to me. I have no problem fighting on the card with him.’
“And I’m a big believer in second chances. So her opinion was the opinion that I was concerned with. And that was it.”
