Argentina’s national team ended up in the same group with Uruguay, Paraguay, Chile and Bolivia, where they were undoubtedly the favorites. However, in the first match Lionel Scaloni’s team lost points, having painted a 1:1 draw with Chile. The failures of “albiceleste” in the group ended there. Three victories over Uruguay (1:0), Paraguay (1:0) and Bolivia (4:1) allowed the Argentines to win the group with 10 points. In the quarterfinals Argentina got into rivals Ecuador. The status of Albiceleste’s favorite was justified, having managed to come out ahead in the first half thanks to the efforts of Rodrigo De Paul. Goals from Lautaro Martinez and Lionel Messi helped the Argentines secure a landslide 3:0 victory in Goiania. In the semifinals Argentina managed to fight Colombia. Luis Dias responded to Lautaro Martinez’s goal in the opening of the match and the coffee makers brought matters to a penalty shootout. The hero of the series was the Argentine goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, who managed to reflect three hits of the Colombians. His efforts allowed Argentina to be in the final.
The 32-year-old American used to play football professionally, but also went into mixed martial arts and his record in the UFC since 2019 has four wins and three losses. Greg is considered a rather “dirty” athlete, for which he was disqualified in the first fight, hitting his knee with an opponent who had already landed. The last entry into the octagon against the eighth in the ranking of Marcin Tybura turned out to be very interesting. In the first segment, Hardy had a complete advantage, but could not knock out the Pole and in the second round he obviously slowed down, ended up on the ground and was outplayed there.
