Hardwick posted a video from inside an ambulance. Although it seemed he was struggling to speak, he did manage to speak.

“Everybody, I am OK.” Hardwick said, “My jaw is obviously f—ed, but that’s alright.” 

He also thanked his family for their support. This includes his girlfriend, who was with him in the ambulance.

Although Hardwick lost the fight, he still got a $100,000 bonus for being a part of the Fight of the Night.

It’s been reported by The U.S. Sun that Hardwick’s team, Middlesbrough Fight Academy, is considering releasing him. Middlesbrough is overseen by former Cage Rage champion Abdul Mohammad.
