Bobby Green shared a heartwarming story about the UFC and his loyalty to them before UFC 271.
Green is one of the most entertaining people on the UFC roster. He always enters the octagon with the purpose of putting on a show, and he never disappoints. ‘King’ has been a part of the promotion since 2013. He made his professional MMA debut in 2008 and was picked up by the UFC five years later. And it seems like he won’t be leaving them anytime soon. The organization helped him through a rough time and he will always be loyal to them.
During the UFC 271 media day, he said, “My brother that died, I didn’t have enough money to pay for his funeral. The UFC paid for that. That’s why I’m so loyal to them. They were doing things for me that no company has ever did.”
