Harry Hardwick has seen better days, but he’s taking his injury following UFC Vegas 114 in stride.

Hardwick was in action this past Saturday for a clash with the undefeated Marwan Rahiki. Hardwick could not make it to the third round as he informed his corner that he had suffered a broken jaw. Rahiki was awarded the second-round TKO finish.

After the fight, Hardwick shared a look at the damage in a video posted by Jaiden Cable.

Hardwick isn’t interested in sulking. He took to his Instagram account to joke about having to avoid solid food for a little while (via MMAJunkie).

“I’m OK, my jaw is obviously f*cked,” Hardwick said. “But, that’s alright, I like soup, and I like smoothies, and I like milkshakes, and I like energy drinks. So all these things, I can still have. Life’s good. I cannot complain about my position.

“I have an amazing, beautiful girlfriend, good health, good family, good support network. No one needs to cry for me. I’m OK. I’m obviously gutted, but that’s the sport I’m in. I wanted to win, but it is what it is. Hats off to Marwan. He threw the shot that broke my jaw. He did it on purpose. It’s not luck. It is what it is.”

Hardwick has now gone 0-2 under the UFC banner. He has been finished in both fights. Whether or not the UFC brass will keep Hardwick on the roster due to his toughness remains to be seen. For now, the top priority for “Houdini” is recovering from the gnarly injury.

Hardwick made his UFC debut back in Sept. 2025. He fell short against Kauê Fernandes in the opening frame. Prior to his UFC debut, Hardwick had gone 8-0-1 in his last nine outings. How he responds after dropping two straight will be a story to watch once he has recovered.
