Dustin Poirier: UFC 199 Foe Bobby Green Fights on Instincts, ‘Makes a Lot of Mistakes’

Since moving from featherweight to lightweight, Dustin Poirier has been on a roll in the UFC, dispatching the likes of Joseph Duffy, Yancy Meideros and Carlos Diego Ferreira in succession.

“The Diamond” will attempt to continue his ascent in the division at UFC 199 on June 4, when he squares off with former Strikeforce and King of the Cage competitor Bobby Green in a featured 155-pound bout on pay-per-view at the Forum in Los Angeles. It will be Green’s first appearance since he had an eight-fight winning streak snapped at the hands of Edson Barboza at UFC Fight Night in Austin, Texas on Nov.
