"I'm one of those guys who believes that we're all human beings and we all make mistakes," White told Fox Sports. "When you make a mistake, you pay your penance whatever it may be, and you should be allowed to make a living and move on in your life.
"[But] is he good enough to come into the UFC and fight? I highly doubt it."

Hardy told MMAFighting.com he is "very focused" on his MMA career after realizing NFL teams want no piece of him and his baggage, which includes an assault case and an arrest on cocaine possession charges.

The former Pro Bowl defensive end posted a photo on Twitter of his early training. Still, White is rolling his eyes at this point.
"I've been playing football for a couple weeks, too, maybe I'll try out for the Patriots," White said. "It takes a little bit longer than that, but he could fight at one of these small shows. We'll see how he looks."
