Can Juan Adams bounce back from an embarrassing loss?
[autotag]Juan Adams[/autotag] is one of the most interesting characters produced by Dana White’s Contender Series. The Houston-based heavyweight was raw, sure, but he had an engaging personality and showed real flashes of potential.
Then Adams (5-2 MMA, 1-2 UFC) went out and picked a fight with Greg Hardy. And at exactly the moment the UFC and some all-too-willing media accomplices tried to completely whitewash Hardy’s past and pretend it didn’t exist, Adams decided to get right after Hardy’s woman-abusing history and turned it into the theme of the fight.
And when you get Hardy mad, well — a 45-second KO tells you all you need to know.
So Adams returns, determined not to simply be “that guy who lost bad to Greg Hardy,” and he’s taking a fight in his hometown, where he’ll meet Justin Tafa (3-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC).
