The saga began when Bobby Green and his father appeared on the $100 million worth podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience. On the podcast, Green accused ‘Ataman’ of taking PEDs. Green said, “We’re getting ready for the walkout and the UFC says, go over there, take your shirts off on the scale, blah blah blah. He looked like he’d seen the police, like ‘what, take my shirt off?’ – because he didn’t want to show off his acne back”
Bobby Green wasn’t the only one who made accusations. His father said, ” “I can tell you 100% that I know for the fact that they all do stuff. I watched them buy them. I was in Thailand…there’s great recovery.”
Fiziev has now responded to the accusation made by Green. ‘Ataman’ said, “Bobby Green, before, I respected him a lot. I respected him a lot and I talked about him only good, only nice stuff. But now I understand he’s a f*cking salty ex. He’s a f*cking salty ex, because why you talk this sh*t about me? Man, I’m scared to use BCAA’s. I’m scared to use just protein.”
The ‘Ataman’ further added, “I am [gonna] slap him. I don’t talk with him, I just come and I slap him like my b**h, Because why you lie for nothing? He just going to Joe Rogan cause he have a big fanbase and millions of people watch him, and he goes and talks shit about me for nothing.”
While Fiziev responded to these claims against Bobby Green, the fighter put up an amazing performance against Rafael dos Anjos at UFC Vegas 58. He also revealed his future plans.
