On February 12, Bobby Green put on what was one of the best performances of his 14-year MMA career, when he defeated Nasrat Haqparast by decision in the opening fight of the UFC 271 pay-per-view card.
‘King’ Bobby was reportedly enjoying his time off after the fight – and the all-you-can-eat sushi bar – when his manager, Jason House, called the lightweight scrapper to see if he was interested in stepping in to face Islam Makhachev in the main event of UFC Vegas 49. That call, according to Green, came five days ago.
