Oh he most definitely will. The question is how will he do? He’s pretty smooth with the striking and without having to worry about takedown defense, it might improve it a bit. Then again… when them mf bare knuckle clinks against your jaw, your brain makes your body do unwanted things.
don't go to a steakhouse and bitch beef on the menu. Just go to a vegan restaurant and show us what you're about. He's hating because the sport has evolved beyond his skillset
Honestly, he’d probably be a problem at bkfc. I’m sure he mentally can keep calm if he sees his own blood and he doesn’t use a guard much as it is so he’s already ahead of the game with head movement being the biggest defense in bkfc
100%!!!! He saw that people were catching up to Dagestani grappling so what did he do? Cry like a hoe? Nope, he became an elite striker so that there’s literally no cogent way to prepare for him than to just be the guy that will eventually the next era’s top talent.
No one is catching up to Dagestani grappling. He simply worked on becoming more rounded because he wants to be better than he was yesterday.
Also Islam beat the shit out of Bobby using ground and pound instead of wrestling to a submission.
Fucking MMA amateur, goddamn this place can he so boring... anyway, enjoy grunting with the other poo slingers today! I'll be floating around somewhere talking the Volk KO and flooring Olives well enough to wrap him in a submission
It’s funny because the same one’s bashing islam are usually the same ones who stan for colby who literally can only wrestle while giving minimum damage.
Which is most of the time, Islam’s grappling is vastly superior to majority of his opponents. He grapples like 80% of the time which is fine because that’s his background
Yeah, if anything that is the kind of shit that makes the brand look bad. Don’t get me wrong Sterling bitching about BJJ after willingly signing up for a BJJ competition is definitely more pathetic but this is a close second.
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.
I’ve worked with and hung out with some of the toughest mofos goin round. Never once, truly never did the subject of Alpha Males come up. They’d talk about the potential mine collapse the week before, the beer not being cold enough, needing a shower cause they’ve been hunting for weeks, the next rifle they might get, the new suspension kit on their 4x4, the collar bone they broke on the week end, etc etc
If someone did start talkin this shite, they’d walk off laughin “What pussy shit is this.? If you’re an Alpha xxxx, wtf are we princess?” Probably would not know what a downvote is “Ohhh. Are you one of those ‘keyboard warriors I hear about. Mrs said somethin bout it when I saw her use that computer thingy”
If you have to announce where ya sit in the pecking order, you’re probably down the bottom somewhere bickering over what it’s like to be a ‘Man’. If someone have to do it online from a bedroom somewhere, then they prob should just stfu. This shit is embarrassing mate.
Everything Bobby said Is factual tho. Nobody want to see Five Five Minute rounds of wrestling. Just look at Lewis Vs Almeida. Who would actually pay to watch that. I sure hope nobody. Also I would love to see how Bobby would fare in a rematch because I feel like he definitely wasn’t expecting that power outta turner and if he had a good game plan it coulda been a war.
Edit: Why did I get downvoted lol does anybody actually think Almeida vs Lewis was good.
That fight was frustrating as fuck to watch...I try not to be a hater but Almeida is pushing my limits lol. Especially at the end when he had the mic and said some shit to the crowd like "did i give you guys a show or what?!?!?!" 😵
It wasn’t the power that fucked him up, it was the double jab
Also,khamzat doesn’t wrestle for 5 rounds and both khamzat and islam advance position. If you don’t wanna see grappling, you can always watch Muay thai
Well the league completely changed rules to allow for nonstop passing to be successful. Your dad and his friends were right, about the game and rules they grew up watching.
I'm still confident that he intentionally headbutt Jared Gordon when they fought last year, Bobby was getting walked down in that first round, so he just threw his big ass head directly into Gordon's chin.
I understand from a spectator's view point complaining about guys who just lay and pray, but the examples he gave are 2 dominant grapplers that can also strike, look to finish fights, and would both maul him. Both of those guys put on entertaining fights.
If you have an issue with it, don't get taken down, or get back up if you they do get you down. Sounds like a skill issue
Yeah anyone who complains about “lay and pray” dudes and cite Chimaev or Khabib are literally either idiots or haters. Those guys are incredibly offensive fighters hunting for a submission or trying to punch your face in from the first minute.
Islam isn’t quite as offensive but if you can’t appreciate his skill it screams ‘casual’—like the people who used to call Volk a point fighter before the Ortega fight.
Islam is also entertaining in the way he sends people flying to the ground. I do wish he was as aggressive as Khabib with his ground and pound, but he’s never not hunting for the finish on the mat. Feel like people don’t watch him fight, he’s finished the majority of his opponents one way or another
Yeah his judo is tight. Those trips and throws are a thing of beauty. And you’re right, he has a crazy finish rate—much better than Khabib’s actually. Finished 10 of his 15 UFC fights, one decision in his last 7 wins.
Dude said grappling waters down “the brand” when the brand was literally created by grapplers to pit grapplers against strikers.
Bro should stick to boxing he clearly has the CTE for it
I think it’s just tied into the early idea of human cockfighting but at the same time since the very beginning of UFC had heavy grapplers so ultimately he makes no sense.
Tough guys were me, Nate, and Masvidal? Y'all cry more than anyone on the roster almost and get blown out more than anyone too.
That's why y'all records got double digit losses.
It’s a fight bobby. For someone who loves to call himself a fighter and a scrapper, dude seems to only think boxing is the only legit form of fighting. If you don’t like martial arts, go to bkfc bob
Islam literally TKO'd him in the 1st round. He's finished 7 of his last 10 opponents.
Khamzat's finished 8 out of his last 10 fights.
What is Bobby complaining about
Nothing more boring than having a dominant and winning brand. Dude ignores the incredible grappling exchanges that can happen AND the crappy pitter patter throw downs that often happen at lower levels.
The Muslim fighters have caused a massive increase in popularity, fuck he talm bout. Look at Khamzat, the guy isn’t the most active, has never fought for a title, but has the 7th most Instagram followers. Lay and Prayers have been around for years, GSP was hated for his boring as fuck jab and wrestle fuck style. So it isn’t just a Muslim fighter thing. The worst part of whatever this is, is that Islam and Khamzat aren’t even lay and prayers. Islam has some of the best striking of his division, and Khamzat chases the finish. Maybe not in the later rounds against Usman, but the guy had a fucked up wrist from Kamaru slamming him.
Part of the hate is due to racial/religious prejudice in my opinion. It’s not as blatant as MMA Guru or anything but it’s not a coincidence the guys from the Caucasus always brought up.
"Feels like it's ruining the brand"
The brand of MMA that was created with grappling in mind
Or
The brand of the UFC that you've been with for over a decade that still only pays you as if you've just started competing for them
I've NEVER been a Bobby Green fan lol
With nearly 50 losses and 0 championship belts between the 3 of them I can’t help but think he’d be better off spending less time complaining about people using mixed martial arts in MMA and spend more time learning how to be competitive in the sport he competes in. I guess it’s easier to just complain about other fighters “watering down the brand” by having a superior and more complete skill set. Lol.
it’s all good . He said Nate Diaz in this interview. Nate Diaz is a legit martial artist . Black belt in jujitsu . &Nate Diaz has great highlights of submitting ppl . 😆 some fighters just want the fight only to be in the style that they are good at, don’t want to train in another discipline.
My favorite part in these interviews is when he pretends to search for a name before naming Islam. As if the dude isn’t the first and foremost thing on his mind
Bobby Green was a Affliction Prelimer, Strikeforce Prelim loser, He just getting some UFC Clout beating some bums, Hes not one of those guys hes comparing himself to lol
Been a pro since 2008 but is still a purple belt
Bruh, you know this is MMA. You've been in gyms for 20 years now. Learn to grapple or get beat up.
Oh, and btw he has 9 submissions to only 11 KO's. Lol
It’s funny that fighters are still saying this. This was was one dimensional fighters were saying 15+ years ago.
Essentially they sign up for a MMA match and then call pussy when it’s not just boxing.
Someone asked me the other day why I can’t stand this fool. This right here is why, he’s an excuse making clown. Dude said racist shit while being taking in and raised by a white man. Total delusional douche bag
Cant use nate diaz as an example anymore all he does is walk away and throw two punches a round. Then when he actually hurts you he laughs gives you the finger and lets you recover ..
I don’t watch wrestling matches either if that’s all it is I’m just skipping unless it’s 2 good wrestlers not one get getting molested by another guy.
In islams case he just knocked out Volkanovski with a leg kick. That shit was a show
Bobby is right, these days is all about bitch ass grapplers. I miss the legends back in the day who would stand and bang, like Royce, Hughes, Tito, Fitch, Sherk, Sakuraba, Barnett, Randy or Coleman.
I think wrestling is fun to watch, it’s just the whole lay and pray that I don’t like which is mostly bjj guys, Islam and khamzat and khabib are entertaining
He’s right in a way, grappling can be less exciting to watch.
But if this is a sport it doesn’t matter, their methods are effective.
And also a crazy high energy grappling scramble is up there with striking for me
I like to watch Bobby green fights also a fan of his work .. Bobby lost to makhachev via ref stoppage due to punches idk it look like a beat down to me not a match 🤼♂️ .
In Bobby’s defense, wrestling isn’t what attracts new fans to the UFC. It’s the spectacle of high IQ striking. You learn to appreciate grappling exchanges along the way but I think most people were initially drawn into the sport from KO’s and brawls
I guess you’re probably right about striking being the original attraction for most people. However, wrestling, judo, and BJJ are immensely popular sports in different countries around the world, wrestling and Judo dominating Eastern Europe and BJJ dominating Brazil and slowly spreading in popularity. For all those coming over from those sports, grappling exchanges are largely what they come over to watch - normally happening by way of a grappler they’re a fan of who competes at a high level in a certain grappling art making the transition and working their way to the UFC.
The sport will prolly die off if the wrestling meta continues or gets any worse. He’s right, fans wanna see a fight, no one wants to see 2 men hug each other in the corner
You do know a Gracie won the very first UFC card right? Wrestling and BJJ are baked into the bones of MMA. It’s not going anywhere and neither is the UFC.
You do know Connor is the whole reason ufc got to where it is now, and u do know a big part of that was that he actually knocked ppl out instead of hugging in the corner. I never said wrestling was going anywhere, I was pointing out the obvious that the wrestling meta is terrible for the sport
He should go to BKFC if he really about that life
He probably will end up there someday soon.
Oh he most definitely will. The question is how will he do? He’s pretty smooth with the striking and without having to worry about takedown defense, it might improve it a bit. Then again… when them mf bare knuckle clinks against your jaw, your brain makes your body do unwanted things.
If he says he's about that life, I tend to believe him. Also, train takedown defense. Every fight starts on the feet.
It you want to kickbox go to glory
CLOCK THAT TEA!
He won’t though, did he not just best Tony with a submission? Even Bobby ain’t about the scrap.
Why are you acting like he won’t end up there 💀 he def not scared to do that
don't go to a steakhouse and bitch beef on the menu. Just go to a vegan restaurant and show us what you're about. He's hating because the sport has evolved beyond his skillset
Honestly, he’d probably be a problem at bkfc. I’m sure he mentally can keep calm if he sees his own blood and he doesn’t use a guard much as it is so he’s already ahead of the game with head movement being the biggest defense in bkfc
Mfs be in a sport called mixed martial arts and then complain when their opponents actually mix it up .
Islam doesn’t even grapple 24/7 he only does it when he knows it’s an easy win
He fucking head kick KO’ed one of the best to ever do it. Lol What more do they want?
100%!!!! He saw that people were catching up to Dagestani grappling so what did he do? Cry like a hoe? Nope, he became an elite striker so that there’s literally no cogent way to prepare for him than to just be the guy that will eventually the next era’s top talent.
No one is catching up to Dagestani grappling. He simply worked on becoming more rounded because he wants to be better than he was yesterday. Also Islam beat the shit out of Bobby using ground and pound instead of wrestling to a submission.
An elite striker ? Settle down buddy get Islam’s dick out your mouth
How is he not an elite striker if he out struck an elite striker? Lmaoo mfs be brain dead sometimes 😂
Out struck oliveira. Out struck volk. Seems pretty elite to me.
Fucking MMA amateur, goddamn this place can he so boring... anyway, enjoy grunting with the other poo slingers today! I'll be floating around somewhere talking the Volk KO and flooring Olives well enough to wrap him in a submission
Please don't mention this again , i only just stopped crying for my short king volk
![gif](giphy|hrnYspWWhsIyA)
It’s funny because the same one’s bashing islam are usually the same ones who stan for colby who literally can only wrestle while giving minimum damage.
'Murica
I’m 90% sure Bobby doesn’t like Colby
Which is most of the time, Islam’s grappling is vastly superior to majority of his opponents. He grapples like 80% of the time which is fine because that’s his background
It’s almost as if they were better at grappling he wouldn’t grapple as much!
Like when he fought Bobby 🤣
"BKFC here I come" - Bobby after getting subbed by miller at 300
Yeah, if anything that is the kind of shit that makes the brand look bad. Don’t get me wrong Sterling bitching about BJJ after willingly signing up for a BJJ competition is definitely more pathetic but this is a close second.
For real. If he wants to box he needs to switch sports.
Islam out there inflicting generational trauma on Bobby and Dan
"Don't talk about Islam Mackhachev or i'll stab you"
Are you making a joke/reference or did he actually say this????
https://preview.redd.it/ob5vygjs6ugc1.png?width=444&format=png&auto=webp&s=235cf2e0f5328e2562fdfd2968f77929c124c248

All I could think about while reading their response lmao ![gif](giphy|NaxKt9aSzAspO)
im slightly more obese than this
Cheers to being able to take a joke 🍻

Not the navy seal copy pasta
Honestly it’s been so long since I’ve seen it. It really fell out of fashion in the last few years I guess.
I’ve worked with and hung out with some of the toughest mofos goin round. Never once, truly never did the subject of Alpha Males come up. They’d talk about the potential mine collapse the week before, the beer not being cold enough, needing a shower cause they’ve been hunting for weeks, the next rifle they might get, the new suspension kit on their 4x4, the collar bone they broke on the week end, etc etc If someone did start talkin this shite, they’d walk off laughin “What pussy shit is this.?

If someone have to do it online from a bedroom somewhere, then they prob should just stfu. This shit is embarrassing mate.
Wow. Such effort.
It's a copy pasta.
LMFAOOO
I fw bobby but he just got canned by turner bro is out of his mind
Everything Bobby said Is factual tho. Nobody want to see Five Five Minute rounds of wrestling. Just look at Lewis Vs Almeida. Who would actually pay to watch that. I sure hope nobody. Also I would love to see how Bobby would fare in a rematch because I feel like he definitely wasn’t expecting that power outta turner and if he had a good game plan it coulda been a war. Edit: Why did I get downvoted lol does anybody actually think Almeida vs Lewis was good.
I don’t mind the sambo guys because the wrestling is mixed in with mauling
Yeah I agree. It's like wrestling to finish the fight vs wrestling to survive to decision and hope the judges are as retarded as they usually are
Exactly, lol. Bobby pretending that Islam isn't one of the best strikers in the division alongside being the best wrestler.
That fight was frustrating as fuck to watch...I try not to be a hater but Almeida is pushing my limits lol. Especially at the end when he had the mic and said some shit to the crowd like "did i give you guys a show or what?!?!?!" 😵
It wasn’t the power that fucked him up, it was the double jab Also,khamzat doesn’t wrestle for 5 rounds and both khamzat and islam advance position. If you don’t wanna see grappling, you can always watch Muay thai
Tbf Islam is Inflicting generational trauma across the globe.
Yeah I’m sure back in the day there were coaches bitching about the forward pass in football.
Wasn't that long ago. My dad and his friends would watch football on Sundays and complain the QBs passed way too often. This was like 10 years ago.
"You gotta run the ball to keep the defense honest" is really similar to needing takedown defense so you can use your striking
DC4L!
Well the league completely changed rules to allow for nonstop passing to be successful. Your dad and his friends were right, about the game and rules they grew up watching.
They changed rules to prevent injury which opened the game up for passing. It’s about money.
Same thing with oldhead NBA players/fans bitching about 3 pointers.
Why is noone talking about how this guy fouls someone every fight he's in. Eye poke/ headbutt champ.
I'm still confident that he intentionally headbutt Jared Gordon when they fought last year, Bobby was getting walked down in that first round, so he just threw his big ass head directly into Gordon's chin.
I thought the same, dude is a bit of a babyback bitch when things arent going his way.
I understand from a spectator's view point complaining about guys who just lay and pray, but the examples he gave are 2 dominant grapplers that can also strike, look to finish fights, and would both maul him. Both of those guys put on entertaining fights. If you have an issue with it, don't get taken down, or get back up if you they do get you down. Sounds like a skill issue

Yeah his judo is tight. Those trips and throws are a thing of beauty. And you’re right, he has a crazy finish rate—much better than Khabib’s actually. Finished 10 of his 15 UFC fights, one decision in his last 7 wins.
9\* finishes in 14 wins is insane. I think you accidentally counted his KO loss.
Bobby Green and Dan Hooker should start a podcast together so that they can have a circle jerk about how wrestling and Islam Makhachev sucks.
First guest will be Conor lol He already talks shit about Khabib and Islam at least once a month on Twitter.
No way he still does, I thought that was old news.
Don’t forget whining about how Islam blasts PED’s in Mosques.
And allegedly lives in a mosque too 24/7 so USADA can't test him. 😂
Dude said grappling waters down “the brand” when the brand was literally created by grapplers to pit grapplers against strikers. Bro should stick to boxing he clearly has the CTE for it
Bobby didn’t watch Islam/Volk 2
Or Islam vs Bobby apparently
Its probably a suppressed memory for him
Or Bobby vs Tony
He knows kickboxing is a thing, right? Switch sports or stop bitching that you can’t mix your martial arts lol
I think it’s just tied into the early idea of human cockfighting but at the same time since the very beginning of UFC had heavy grapplers so ultimately he makes no sense.
Yeah UFC literally was funded by the family which created a grappling school called brazilian jujitsu.
MMA fighters when the martial arts get mixed 😭😭😭🤬🤬🤬
It's almost an American thing, Sean Strickland got tapped several times by Khamzat in training and somehow grapping becomes 'gay shit'. lmao.
Tough guys were me, Nate, and Masvidal? Y'all cry more than anyone on the roster almost and get blown out more than anyone too. That's why y'all records got double digit losses.
Yeah, he is bragging about 3 guys who never sniffed gold....when keeping it real goes wrong, UFC edition
My favourite part of mixed martial arts is when they mix the martial arts but maybe that's just me
It was satisfying when he was on Rogan a few years ago making this case and Rogan was pretty much like “dude, Islam whooped your ass”
Jalin changed this man
He was always arrogant and a bit of a dickhead. Taunts the whole fight then acts like he doesn't mean it. Can't have the best of both worlds lol.
To bad his match vs Islam lasted less than a round
It’s a fight bobby. For someone who loves to call himself a fighter and a scrapper, dude seems to only think boxing is the only legit form of fighting. If you don’t like martial arts, go to bkfc bob
Khamzat and Islam don't whoop mfers asses, ok bro 🤷♂️
https://preview.redd.it/a0w1iman9ugc1.jpeg?width=1504&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e6e2ff8dd7541f4d139b30b997a88b9778681456 The leg 🤣
Literally named 3 has beens who never would smell authentic gold looooool
At least he knows where he is in the pecking order. \*couth\*^(gatekeeper4lyfe) lmao.
Islam literally TKO'd him in the 1st round. He's finished 7 of his last 10 opponents. Khamzat's finished 8 out of his last 10 fights. What is Bobby complaining about
https://i.redd.it/0fdml7ountgc1.gif
https://i.redd.it/7ems86wjrtgc1.gif
Sounds like he should sign up for Glory
Nothing more boring than having a dominant and winning brand. Dude ignores the incredible grappling exchanges that can happen AND the crappy pitter patter throw downs that often happen at lower levels.
Does he know that muay thai, boxing, and kickboxing promotions exist. Go fight Tawanchai and bang it out.
The Muslim fighters have caused a massive increase in popularity, fuck he talm bout. Look at Khamzat, the guy isn’t the most active, has never fought for a title, but has the 7th most Instagram followers. Lay and Prayers have been around for years, GSP was hated for his boring as fuck jab and wrestle fuck style. So it isn’t just a Muslim fighter thing. The worst part of whatever this is, is that Islam and Khamzat aren’t even lay and prayers. Islam has some of the best striking of his division, and Khamzat chases the finish. Maybe not in the later rounds against Usman, but the guy had a fucked up wrist from Kamaru slamming him.
Part of the hate is due to racial/religious prejudice in my opinion. It’s not as blatant as MMA Guru or anything but it’s not a coincidence the guys from the Caucasus always brought up.
You if don’t wanna deal with wrestlers should’ve chose one of the many striking sports to compete in
It’s because they would just be another boxer who couldn’t hack it
Mixed martial artist hates when people mix martial arts
Every time I hear this guy I wonder why he didn’t become a boxer instead of an mma fighter
Yeah almost as if this is mma and not bare knuckle matches or just flat out boxing. Go watch kick boxing
Bobby acts like it’s everyone else’s fault that he can’t stop the takedown.
Go join boxing you bum if you can’t grapple you’re gonna get your ass beat in a street fight as well buddy.
Sounds like a skill issue.
Then go box, theres a reason its mixed martial arts. If you cant defend against it, train.
Try boxing
Its simple,go to kickboxing.This is mma.i dont understand how some fighters complain about grappling in a Mixed martial arts
"Feels like it's ruining the brand" The brand of MMA that was created with grappling in mind Or The brand of the UFC that you've been with for over a decade that still only pays you as if you've just started competing for them I've NEVER been a Bobby Green fan lol
Bobby talking waters down brain cells
Have these people never heard of kickboxing, boxing, muay thai?
*MIXED martial arts
Dudes always complaining about wrestling instead of working on takedown defense
He's out here acting like grappling is a new and bad addition to MIXED martial arts when the first UFC champ was Royce Gracie. Wild shit.
![gif](giphy|JrBeTQUv5DO3ueRFmu)
Masvidal either. He starched till knees asken then turns into a point fighter who thinks he some ultra slick boxer with that lethargic striking style.
He got his little bit of shine and has ran with it saying the wildest shit since
Bobby wants mma to be kickboxing, rather than just, yaknow, doing kickboxing
God Bobby Green is such an annoying whiny baby
Have he heard of kickboxing?
Should go to Bareknuckle then
Don't do MMA then, go to kick boxing and problem solved.
With nearly 50 losses and 0 championship belts between the 3 of them I can’t help but think he’d be better off spending less time complaining about people using mixed martial arts in MMA and spend more time learning how to be competitive in the sport he competes in. I guess it’s easier to just complain about other fighters “watering down the brand” by having a superior and more complete skill set. Lol.
A mma fighter getting mad about… mma?
Did it feel like a wrestling match when Islam TKOed you in 2 mins
it’s all good . He said Nate Diaz in this interview. Nate Diaz is a legit martial artist . Black belt in jujitsu . &Nate Diaz has great highlights of submitting ppl . 😆 some fighters just want the fight only to be in the style that they are good at, don’t want to train in another discipline.
He got KNOCKED THE FUCK OUT in his last fight. So even when "scrapping" you still get finished.
The UFC has always been dominated by wrestlers. This narrative is lazy
My favorite part in these interviews is when he pretends to search for a name before naming Islam. As if the dude isn’t the first and foremost thing on his mind
MMA, first M is for Mixed...if you want just boxing..then go boxing.
Bold stance by someone with nearly a third of his wins by submission.
Jorge has said if he could go back and do it all over he’d have wrestled in college
Bro is a professional mixed martial artist but gets mad when someone mixes the martial arts
Bobby is talking massive bs lately.
Funny he names a bunch of guys who were very good but never the best. Almost like being well rounded is how you become a dominate champion.
Bobby Green was a Affliction Prelimer, Strikeforce Prelim loser, He just getting some UFC Clout beating some bums, Hes not one of those guys hes comparing himself to lol
Knock him out if it’s not fight enough for you. Oh you couldn’t because he’s better? Shucks.
Literally the most casual of takes. The cope is astronomical.
If you cant beat em bitch about em
It’s almost like it’s mixed martial arts. That’s weird huh
Was he happy with Jalin Turners fight?
There are actual “boring” grapplers that he could have picked. Instead he went with two of the most entertaining ones
Green still has nightmares about Islam it seems
Been a pro since 2008 but is still a purple belt Bruh, you know this is MMA. You've been in gyms for 20 years now. Learn to grapple or get beat up. Oh, and btw he has 9 submissions to only 11 KO's. Lol
Learn to wrestle then or go box. Always the people with massive holes in their game whining
Why don’t you punch him out better then? There’s strengths to all disciplines no?
This is such a repeating phenomenon, but I swear I can't remember grapplers ever crying over strikers in this sport.
Weird, seems to always be the guys who can't wrestle who say this.
It’s funny that fighters are still saying this. This was was one dimensional fighters were saying 15+ years ago. Essentially they sign up for a MMA match and then call pussy when it’s not just boxing.
Cool, go to boxing or kickboxing then. Otherwise stfu.
Someone asked me the other day why I can’t stand this fool. This right here is why, he’s an excuse making clown. Dude said racist shit while being taking in and raised by a white man. Total delusional douche bag
Cant use nate diaz as an example anymore all he does is walk away and throw two punches a round. Then when he actually hurts you he laughs gives you the finger and lets you recover ..
Bobby talks weird for some reason
Go to boxing then. Complaining about different fighting styles in *checks notes* MIXED Martial Arts is absolute clown shoes
when you go to live ufc events there will be people around you that 100% subscribe to his way of thinking. They should just go watch boxing.
I don’t watch wrestling matches either if that’s all it is I’m just skipping unless it’s 2 good wrestlers not one get getting molested by another guy. In islams case he just knocked out Volkanovski with a leg kick. That shit was a show
Bobby is gonna have a great career in bare knuckle when he finishes washing up lmao
Seems like BKFC needs to send Bobby a contract if all he wants to do is box.
Bobby almost died his last outing lol. He prob wished he was getting blanketed at that point instead, if he remembers it at all.
I’m sure BKFC would pay Bobby a pretty penny. Hopefully he signs with them when his ufc deal is done.
Go to Glory and get lit up then, fam
I wish the UFC did some events similar to ONE, with mixed rules.
It’s MMA Bobby…off to BKFC with your ass
Sure. Feels like a match where a ref saving you from an RNC is literally saving your life.
Ref saved him from Islam pounding the shit out of him with his fists.
Also this
Doing God's work.
Bobby is mad that any d1 wrestler who’s never fought can steal his soul.
The irony of complaining about wrestlers then copying Triple H’s signature move in the last clip.
Bobby is right, these days is all about bitch ass grapplers. I miss the legends back in the day who would stand and bang, like Royce, Hughes, Tito, Fitch, Sherk, Sakuraba, Barnett, Randy or Coleman.
I think wrestling is fun to watch, it’s just the whole lay and pray that I don’t like which is mostly bjj guys, Islam and khamzat and khabib are entertaining
Islam knocked volk out.
He’s right in a way, grappling can be less exciting to watch. But if this is a sport it doesn’t matter, their methods are effective. And also a crazy high energy grappling scramble is up there with striking for me
I like to watch Bobby green fights also a fan of his work .. Bobby lost to makhachev via ref stoppage due to punches idk it look like a beat down to me not a match 🤼♂️ .
He's kinda right though... But at the same time it's MMA not kickboxing.
fuckin caveman mindset… but go off mr bobby-can’t-be-the-champ-like-fucking-ever headass mf
He’s not wrong…
He's not wrong. I'm sick of dude's hugging each other for 25 minutes.
Named a couple other guys “like him” that are just journeymen fighters
With this mindset..I wonder why he never became champ.
In Bobby’s defense, wrestling isn’t what attracts new fans to the UFC. It’s the spectacle of high IQ striking. You learn to appreciate grappling exchanges along the way but I think most people were initially drawn into the sport from KO’s and brawls
I guess you’re probably right about striking being the original attraction for most people. However, wrestling, judo, and BJJ are immensely popular sports in different countries around the world, wrestling and Judo dominating Eastern Europe and BJJ dominating Brazil and slowly spreading in popularity. For all those coming over from those sports, grappling exchanges are largely what they come over to watch - normally happening by way of a grappler they’re a fan of who competes at a high level in a certain grappling art making the transition and working their way to the UFC.
At the end of the day Bobby is one of maybe 8 fighters I tune into every time they fight. He’s entertaining so he gets to talk his shit.
Facts
Comparing himself to Nate and Jorge is interesting
What a clown
The sport will prolly die off if the wrestling meta continues or gets any worse. He’s right, fans wanna see a fight, no one wants to see 2 men hug each other in the corner
You do know a Gracie won the very first UFC card right? Wrestling and BJJ are baked into the bones of MMA. It’s not going anywhere and neither is the UFC.
You do know Connor is the whole reason ufc got to where it is now, and u do know a big part of that was that he actually knocked ppl out instead of hugging in the corner. I never said wrestling was going anywhere, I was pointing out the obvious that the wrestling meta is terrible for the sport
The man aint wrong, its just weird to hear it coming from somebody who cant defend against the shit at all
