There is no doubt that UFC fighters are some of the most skilled combatants in the world. As such, lightweight star Bobby Green recently discussed the outcome of a hypothetical fight between him and NBA star LeBron James. He claimed that he’d make quick work of the Lakers’ star without breaking too much sweat.

LeBron James is a 4-time NBA champion, who’s become one of the greatest basketball players of all time. Moreover, he is no small individual. James stands at 6 foot 9 inches tall and weighs around 250 pounds. However, despite his size, Bobby Green claims to have no problems in handling the NBA star.

Bobby Green rates skills more than the size

Bobby Green is coming off a win at UFC 291 against Tony Ferguson as he talked about his upcoming fight against Grant Dawson during a recent interview with ‘TMZ’.

Then LeBron James’ name popped up and Green claimed that a fight between him and the Lakers’ star would not be a close contest. The lightweight fighter said, “If LeBron wanted to fight with me, it wouldn’t be close.”

Meanwhile, the interviewer reminded Green about the 6 foot 9 frame of James and how that will be a big factor in a fight. But the UFC fighter seemed to have no problems with that because he believes that LeBron James doesn’t have the skills to get it on against a real fighter.
