‘Y’all Can Have the Game’- Bobby Green Breaks Down Why He Doesn’t Want a UFC Championship Belt

Published 02/11/2021, 12:32 AM EST

UFC lightweight Bobby Green spoke to the media ahead of UFC 258 that takes place at the Apex Facility. ‘King’ Green takes on lightweight stalwart Jim Miller on the main card in what promises to be an exciting affair. Bobby Green takes no prisoners in the cage and certainly keeps the same energy when talking to the media.

Green had a tremendously successful 2020 where he managed to go 3-1 and unfortunately broke his streak in October. Prior to the loss to Thiago Moises, ‘King’ had scalped three unanimous decision victories that were exceedingly exciting. His chaotic style that relies on blitzing his opponent rarely fails him, and he’s looking to carry the same momentum into the new year.

Bobby Green has had spells of inconsistent performances sprinkled throughout his tenured UFC run. He’ll be hoping to put the losing streaks in his rearview mirror and get back to winning ways immediately. Jim Miller is not an easy outing for anyone, and he poses some major problems for fighters on the ground.

The 27-11 fighter was asked to elaborate on whether he was still chasing UFC gold at the age of 34. However, his response left no doubt that he had other plans for the remainder of his UFC tenure. Claiming to have made a hefty check in 2020, Bobby Green is exclusively looking at prize fighting as his goal for the future.

“F**k no! That’s what every fu**ing fighter says ‘Oh, I want a world title, I want a world title. No, I’m trying to take care of all my family you know, take care of all my friends, have a great life, have a little cash, a little nice car, couple houses. I’m good y’all can have the game. I’m good. Let me pay my house off, y’all can have this motherf**ker. I enjoyed it, I brought my style, hope you enjoyed it. If you didn’t f**k it.”
