Bobby Green had nothing but praise for short-notice foe Jalin Turner following their co-main event bout at UFC on ESPN 52.
Turner, who was a late replacement for Dan Hooker, knocked out Green 2:49 into the opening stanza of their lightweight clash at the Moody Center in Austin, Texas, on Saturday night. That snapped a two-bout winning streak for Green, who was coming off back-to-back finishes of Tony Ferguson and Grant Dawson.
Green appeared to absorb some unnecessary punishment before referee Kerry Hatley stepped in to wave off the bout, but “King” didn’t mention the stoppage in a post-fight statement on his Instagram stories.
