Bobby Green is always fun to watch. His mannerisms and the way he speaks in interviews indicate one thing very clearly. Green is an American and being an American reflects rather loudly in his confident and proud personality. Here’s more about his roots.

Where is Bobby Green from?

Bobby Green was born in San Bernardino, California. He is of African American ethnicity and began wrestling early when he was in his sophomore year of school. He had humble beginnings too as he ended up being a foster child. Green’s family situation was not the most ideal.  His father was incarcerated and his mother fell victim to drug addiction leaving a young Bobby Green helpless at the age of five. However, he did not let the difficulties stop him from being a father and a brilliant fighter.

In fact, he started his career in Mixed Martial Arts while working in a warehouse so he could manage the finances for his son. He has previously fought for Affliction Entertainment and Strikeforce before making it into the UFC and now has a record of 31-15-1.

I didn’t have a mother or father.” Green said in a post-fight interview that he brought his father with him after defeating Clay Guida in 2020. “They gave me away.
