“I ended up going down the weight cut. Do my thing. Weigh-in and then go see the doctors. I’m not gonna lie, I normally pull that s**t together, but this time I couldn’t pull it together. I was trying to just get to the stage with Jim and get past that. Then maybe I can go home, get in bed, and things will change out or I’ll feel better. But I just couldn’t get off the goddamn chair,” Green said (video via @AquaMMA_ on Twitter).

” I just fell down to the ground and was sitting there and everybody was like call somebody, call somebody. Blah blah blah whatever happens, so I think I just fucked up the water loading thing. They say my kidneys are f**ked up right now. I guess the average fighter’s kidneys go… something, some sh*t they were saying like 1.7. I’m at 3.5,” Green added.
