Just a few days after his unanimous decision victory, the UFC lightweight contender Bobby Green will soon be back in action. He will take on the number four lightweight fighter, Islam Makhachev, in the main event of UFC Vegas 49.

Earlier, Makhachev was set to clash against Beneil Dariush. However, the latter suffered an injury during his training and had to pull out of the fight. Hence, ‘King’ chimed in and took the fight on a 10 days’ notice.

It is a sheer bold move by the American lightweight fighter to go against one of the best from the division in such a short time. However, the Dagestan native might have taken him lightly, according to Green.

“It’s interesting. I feel like he’s underestimating me. I feel like he’s laughing. He’s doing all these little things, but that’s okay. He makes me feel like he’s not taking me seriously.”– Green told Combate. (Translated by Google)

He can be championship material, but it’s just f**king boring. Nobody wants to see it. Nobody cares. I fall asleep watching his fights.”
