Bobby Green hade tidigare en match bokad mot Donald Cerrone för UFC 178 i september, men Eddie Alvarez fick sedan matchen istället efter att han skrivit på för UFC.
Green har sedan dess reagerat och uttalat starkt sig om Cerrones beteende under UFC:s Fan Expo som hölls i Las Vegas förra månaden, då han anklagar den sistnämnde för att ha tafsat på kvinnorna och gjort rasistiska uttalanden.
Det här berättar Green, via ”The MMA Hour”:
Obviously, I had some bad blood with Cerrone, but I’m a company dude, you know? I was originally meant to face Abel Trujillo, then I get a fight with Masvidal and then Cerrone. It felt like I was getting rag dolled. I’m the little guy, this doesn’t happen to Jones or Cerrone. I’m just trying to get money. I’m good. Cerrone feels like he is untouchable, he is just the most obnoxious asshole I’ve ever met. He was so rude and all that, saying ’you don’t want to strike with me’ and all that. He said some racist stuff, like ’you know how black people like to steal,’ and this was in front of like loads of people. I was laughing it off, but the real dude inside of me was like ’I don’t let that shit slide.’ He was being obnoxious, he was groping every woman in this place. They got husbands and boyfriends and he was just groping these girls in front of them. He was grabbing these girls’ asses like ’what are they gonna do to me.’ He disrespected me and I really don’t like him now. It’s my time to get even with him.
Greens senaste match var mot Josh Thomson under UFC ”FOX” 12 i San Jose i Kalifornien, då han vann genom ett oenigt domslut. Det återstår att se vem han kommer att få möta härnäst, men troligtvis kommer han att vilja ha en ny chans mot Cerrone.
