The controversial Hardy is no stranger to mid-fight asthma attacks.
He experienced one between the second and third rounds of his UFC Boston bout with Ben Sosoli in October 2019.
However, Hardy was able to manage his breathing using an inhaler.
This inhaler cost him a unanimous decision win as it was not “pre-approved” by the Massachusetts State Athletic Commission, which overturned his victory to a No-Contest.
