A bout between a pair of veteran lightweights is off.
Bobby Green is out of his fight with Josh Burkman at UFC Fight Night 96 on Oct. 1 in Portland, Green's manager Jason House confirmed Friday with MMA Fighting. Green is having some personal issues at the moment and has to "take care of things for his family," per House.
MMAjunkie was the first to report the news. The UFC will attempt to look for a new opponent for Burkman.
House said Green hopes to be back before the end of this year or in early 2017.
