The fact this dude is not even ranked in a division completely full of killers and NONE of them took the call is astounding .. I'm a fan
yeah i guess Gillespie and Riddell said no
No one wants to fight the dagestani wrestlers because they all knows what’s coming
@@wildberry752 yepp
Exactly
Of course they didn’t take the fight. No notice at all to fight a killer. Not astounding at all. What would you do? Fighters need to give themselves the best possible chance
How can somebody not like this guy..took fight on a short notice against someone like Islam..humble in defeat..ready to rebound.. respect Bobby ♥️
To get paid
@benadryl cabbagepatch he is confident , not cocky, and all fighters should be, because they are fighting in a cage, they have to believe that they are the best
not just on short notice, but he also just ended his previous fight just recently
@benadryl cabbagepatch atleast he's still humble though, it's always respectable to watch someone NOT be salty in defeat. Lots of fighter are cocky before a fight and in the presses, it's a mind-game and everybody's gotta do it sometimes. Even Islam does it from time to time, it's their way of hyping up their fight, when the fights over, that's where their true selves appear again.
Right. Salute to a big monster paycheck tho💯
Khabib talked about this many times. They do these thigh squeezing exercises where they train to hold that mount position without using their hands. repeating it over and over again. That's what makes it so difficult to escape their clutches.
Or impossible. Does anyone ever escape? What will Charles be able to do?
@@KONAMAN100 Charles will wrap around him like a snake and submit him possibly
@@Ci3saLAlreadyHipp3d lol no chance. If he gives up his back like he did against Chandler, he’ll be smoked
@@dgillian183 nahhhhh , Olivera not getting submitted . And a 5 round fight on ground I say Charles catches the knockout or submission first
@@Ci3saLAlreadyHipp3d if Charles accept the bottom position I feel it’ll be bad. Islam pressure is too much
He really sounds like a down to earth type of guy. Taking care of his wife and missing his kids. Has my respect.
Girlfriend*
Yea you do it after getting beat up. Hv you seen him early of the fight dum..y
There used to be a time when that was considered normal and duty of a man.
@@mkrmmd1162 and In that time, other men didn’t go into CZcams comment sections and announce their “respect” for a man they don’t even personally know and who doesn’t even know who they are as if they care about getting their respect😂
I was this guys son soccer coach for two season. Won the titles twice and only found his dad was Bobby green on the last day of the season ha. Met him though . Didn’t even recognize him. Ha
I like how he pointed out their strategy, never heard anyone talk about a fight to this magnitude! Respect!
It's the same blueprint as Khabib. The problem is nobody has had the answer. They are like human boa constrictors. They are strong af, use their weight, one mistake and it's over. Props to Bobby for taking a fight everyone else gave a hard pass on.
Nothing but respect for this man. Not easy to prepare for a fight in 2 weeks but he stepped up and saved this card from getting canceled. Hold your head high Bobby, you got nothing to apologize for
"He got it"
He just went 3 rounds 2 weeks ago also
oh please ,he did train for his fight 2 weeks ago ,an Islam make the weigh adjustment in favor of his request. so yes he have to apologies for talking ganaster talk aobut Islam .
@@drive-2786 what? He never said he didn’t train I don’t know if you know this but 2 weeks isn’t enough training please just stop if you have no idea what you’re talking about
Mean saved the fight from being cancelled; they wouldn't cancel an entire card for one fight
I remember Khabib had talked about what makes them different, talking about the strength in their inner thighs, to just hold on fully with that, so that it frees up their hands.
So it’s interesting to hear Bobby mention he felt that in this fight
Do you know where interview this was? Or have a link possibly
@@poontangpirate1343 I believe it’s in the instructional tape that khabib put out.
Bobby knew better than to run his mouth . All those tattoos don’t mean sh!t . Islam #1 ❤️❤️
@@Piccolopete dude what
@@nasvsan6191 dude stfu and read illiterate
That's a life time of grappling and wrestling mate. Even the best can't stop it
They are the best
Gregor Gillespie would stop it.
@@zackw1340 Unfortunately he said no. Lmao
I mean he just show happens to have like 10 pounds of muscle more than anyone
@@benziz2009 exactly. Islam shouldn’t fight in the LW division but in the WW division. He’s huge. Definitely a weight bully
Bobby is a gem in the UFC...the way he approached this situation while top guys said no..that's how you gain life long fans...much respect Bobby
You are such a hypocrite
Why?
And a forever pY check
He didn’t have nothing to lose tbh but still respect
Bobby Green is a smart gentleman. He learnt something new: "Islam was patient until he was where he wanted to be."
@@tysonbyzon9680 Age is no more than a number. We are always learning something new if we are open to new reality.
That’s dangerous I feel like he wants to beat that Dagestan style.
@@TheeRebel He’ll be in there with a Russian prospect soon to test himself lmao
@@ao1461 lets go!!!
The fact that he already analyzed the fight and concluded what he has to do to win is impressive.
He can also be a great analyst and interviewer after his career.
Lol he couldn’t win
@@trashbun2 he knew exactly what he was going to do, but no one knows how to stop it. Islam is going to go down as one of the best fighters in the lightweight division and Bobby green took this on 2 weeks after he just had a great fight. Stop talking down on good fighters cause it just shows your ignorance and stupidity
@@trashbun2 He fought a dude who is going to be the champion by the end of this year and is the most dominant dude in the division. Islam destroyed everyone. If you think this happens to Bobby Green by all the other ranked dudes you're nuts.
'analist' 💀
@@trashbun2 no one is saying Bobby green is a top 10 guy. But to say he is done is stupid. Not everyone is glover and can win a title at 42, but 35 is not ridiculously old at all it isn’t the youngest but not terrible he can fight someone Like brad Ridell who is ranked and is a lower tier ranked guy. No is saying he is on a track to the title but you think Dana is just going to throw him away after taking this fight you’re nuts.
Love how he analyze the situation, so he can learn from his mistakes. Dude a really likeable person!
He is. Just a likeable guy. I hope the UFC takes care of him.
He's also so intelligent - he literally treats fighting and talking about it like how artists talk about art
There are definitely levels to this but we all need to take away the fact that Bobby stepped up despite the odds. Good work Bobby that’s a real G move!!
He got paid just to cut weight.. He knew exactly how this fight was gonna end.. Props to him, not for stepping up but for getting paid..
@@Jayzan-mt4gl agreed
It was a win/win, he'd be an idiot if he didn't.
@@Jayzan-mt4gl
So true..
He knew and came just to take the mo ey..
We dont blame him of course..
@BLACK BULL troll harder
Megan was really having fun. It didn't feel like an interview, just a mere conversation with an old friend. Thanks to Bobby for being such a guy with his personality
@BLACK BULL your life is clearly represented in your words. i dont know you but i want you to be happy fam.
@@vh788 he's legit a bad troll don't give him the attention let him stay lonely
@BLACK BULL Repent.
@BLACK BULL back to the ghetto goes bobby!!!
🤮
Bobby Green is a class act. One of my favorite fighters. I just hope he doesn’t get derailed by this loss. I felt like we were seeing the most confident Bobby we’d ever seen. He needs fun fights!
First time I've warmed to this guy. Felt like we saw the real guy there. No BS. Decent dude. Look forward to seeing him back.
He surprised me against Fiziev which he actually won in my eyes
Smart, realistic, and humble man. He’ll be back for another bite at the apple.
Fighting non top 10a absolutely. He’s a good card filler.
Not elite. Fun to match up with another striker. The guy is a boxer and has one stoppage in over 10 years
This is an impossible fight. Not even a punchers chance.
They should have just pushed the dariush fight back
As this fight didn’t matter to the division atball. Just like Last fight with hooker.
Drain yourself to 155 twice in 2 weeks. Both hooker and green beat the same guy in a 3 rounder and fight Islam a week later.
The guy is just set up perfectly to not fight any top guys until he wins the title.
Hopefully it won’t be against a no. Top 10 guy lik khabib iaquinta and fights a top guy to win the title at least.
lmao i dont even think he understands what happened tbh
He understands exactly what happened ? He explained it step by step? The Dagestanians are so methodical with their top game…. They inch their way to their comfort zone and bam ur done.. Bobbies the only one i really heard say it and be like yeah i gotta do weight training from there
@@oldironsides4107 not elite? Bro green went toe to toe with Rafael fiziev. I don’t expect Bobby to become champ but this loss will probably make him a better fighter
Nah, he is not humble but GOT humbled.
What a genuine Dude!! I'm a fan, from here on out, he did his best.. can't ask for more than that
No , we can ask
He's actually analyzing the fight out loud taking us through his brain steps. LoL. Down to earth, easy with the mic, open to learning from his opponents and his own mistakes. Great attitude!
Bobby is the perfect example of why you should never judge a book by it's cover! He looks mean with his head tattoos and his crazy ring entrances but he's so obviously a really nice and intelligent person. At least he had the heart to show up to a fight that he knew he had little chance of winning, congratulations!
In the same way I became an Al Iaquinta fan for life, I'm a Bobby Green fan for life.
It was incredible hearing his life story this week in all the promos. Bobby deserves all the shine he earned these last few weeks. 🙌
Yet he lost in 1st round and Is a loser
@@dremur6929 you ever been in a fight in your life you talk like a coward so you probably live like one too.
Yup hes gave us plenty of bangers over the years and would have tonight
Most definitely
Al went all 5
UFC really takes care of fighters who step in on short notice for the company like Bobby green, kelvin gastelum, Kevin Holland etc respect to you Bobby ❤️
Do they though, MMA fighters barely get paid good anyway
@@Redery001 that is true, but for this instant for Bobby I have no doubt Dana and the ufc will take care of him for saving this card. They did pay for his brothers funeral by the way
Agreed rank #16 taking on the consensus champ is ballsy.
No they don't take care of them, all of the fighters you just described are all nearly unranked and are CONSTANTLY being matched up with KILLERS, guys like Chandler, Connor, Khamzat, they are taken care of by the ufc
@@DigBick1337- They volunteer to be matched up with these killers. And its a fact the UFC pay extra to foghters coming in on short notice.
Bobby did not lose anything. He is just a brave fighter.
I am a Fan of Islam but hats off to this man for 1. taking a fight so short after his last fight and 2. for his realistic and humble interview 👏🏼
Gotta give respect to bobby taking this fight short notice with no excuses and no regrets nothing but props to this man !
It was a greedy and foolish mistake. Bobby wasted the viewers time too. There was no contest.
Jesse on🔥thought it's a great idea for conor comeback
He knew he was gonna lose from the get go lol he just wanted the attention !!
They both take a short notice,but for bobby green it was all about money than to really fight to win as he didn't have chance to even send ome punch he run back than to fight back like he say he would
To the first reply
Why don’t you show us how it’s done 🤡 clown
Massive respect to Bobby. I appreciate his animated and honest response. Humbleness always looks good on athletes!
Respect stupidity. He go annihilated
@@ShredCo and also got paid, it's more than just stupidity. It's part of his job, he doesn't get to eat if he only picks fight that he can win.
@@ShredCo don't understand the statement.. doesn't even have a scratch
@@ShredCo tf you even talking about dude
@@noviumthompson6760 Yeah, because he got finished so quickly. No resistance. Do you honestly feel like that was main event worthy?
Bobby is real AF; love this dude, if you haven’t seen his interviews your missing gems 🤷🏽♂️
What she said to him after he apologized was actually super sweet and total real and you can see it actually hit his heart when he heard it to
this OG is a smart OG.... mind is sharp and still learning!
The way he's describing the fight with Islam is so similar to how fighters describe fights against Khabib. The strength, the placement of weight, the patience, etc.
MMA has evolved over time. I remember when UFC first arrived, BJJ was winning UFC tournaments (1, 2, and 4 under Royce Gracie, etc) and no one knew how to counter it. Then for a long time we had grappling mixed in with striking, but the latter seemed to be most dominant under the likes of Chuck Liddell, Vitor Belfort, Silva, etc. But now *combat sambo* as practiced by the likes of Khabib and Islam, is proving to be the most dominant fighting style in MMA as it truly embraces grappling, BJJ, and striking of all sorts, which is why we shouldn't be surprised that only the butthurt fans of punching-only are crying about it 😂 MIXED means MIXED - accept it!
islam is just as equally boring to watch as khabib
@@benjaminjonas9701 At least khabib has charisma and is pretty fun in press conferences. Islam is boring af
it's their fighting system. it happens from time to time, an extreme version of a system based on a martial arts is BJJ itself, it was so goon in fact, it turned into it's own martial arts lol
@@benjaminjonas9701 Its a shame you can’t appreciate this sport properly.
@@benjaminjonas9701 I've said it before I'll say it again, go watch boxing then ya dimwit , mma aint for you
Respect ✊ Bobby! You are the one who pick the fight in so short time and fought against the Champ at the time nobody wanted to get distorted.
Megan is such a legend. Handles all interviews very well
she was drooling x)
She's one of the best
@@h0rk3d Toxic.
Great sport!! So dope how he’s honest & sees his mistakes
He has no chance to say anything..
I’m a big Islam fan , but Bobby took the fight with an absolute killer. Gotta give him his respect and I hope the ufc looks out for him and sets him up with something nice for next time.
I think they will. Chael always mentions how they take care of you if you take care of them. He saved this card and main event for them.
I'm sure they'll remember that.
It's just a quick payday. He knows he'll just get taken n shrimp up n tko
Bobby you’re still my guy. I love watching you fight , I’ll always root for you bro , you’re a savage, straight savage don’t let nobody say differently. Stoked for your next fight .
What an honest,respectful man.Wish him the best in what he does
This Guy Is A Great Guy. The Way He Describe Islam's Movement On their grapling exchange, He Will Learn So much to be A better fighter. And He Say Thanks For Watching At The End. How Cool Was that. 💪🏿
Must be so frustrating experiencing that level of grappling. Feels like you are so helpless.
Here...he thinks it's just strength and muscle...it's not that. When a grappler has their balance and control on point it feels like they are stronger than they actually are.
They use their body weight effectively so opponents thinks they are stronger than they actually are..
Dustin told khabib has the best understanding of weight distribution...not sure what that means though
It's really not fair ❇
This is what we've been trying to tell you guys but everybody tried to give him a chance maybe now you'll listen next time tired of casuals in the sport
Go watch golf
I love the natural transparent way of communication you have Mr bobby green , very refreshing ...
Much respect to Bobby for not just making the fight on super short notice but being able to be so humble and honest about a loss shouldn't go unrecognized.
Booby is a G. He had heart to step up. He was very open to understand the strength of Islam was overwhelming.
Bobby is one of those fighters that would be a tough fight for anybody! Shows you how good Islam really is.
Yes Bobby! That's how to earn people's respect great interview with a great interviewer 👏👏👏
Bobby Green is adorable. For his honesty and humor interview, I'm now his biggest fan.
Lol. Well probably one of the best takeaways and breakdowns I ever seen a fighter give after a loss. Dude was being completely honest with everything he said and it's nice to see. Best of luck in the future, though I don't think he will ever cross paths again sadly.
good on Bobby for taking a fight nobody else would. now we know why nobody else would take that fight. Hope Bobby got paid well, as he deserves by now.
Put the whole division on blast bro. Don’t get me wrong I get 10 days is super short notice but no one in the top 10 stepped up. Bobby should lose absolute no stock at all.
He just went 3 rounds 2 weeks ago
Man this dude is so humble and so honest ... It feels so good to see fighters like this instead of trash talkers ❤️ ... ( I know trash talk is for business purpose )
Kudos to Bobby for stepping up 👏 definitely tuning in for all his future fights
that strength comes from grappling your entire life, its just another level... wrestling with those guys is a nightmare!
We heard this before.. "Before fight they do believe, but after 1st Round they don't believe anymore".. Dagestan fighter really make opponent feel like a "new world" after grappling and wrestling with them..
Such a good dude and so on humble. Why did no one else take this fight. Bobby is a legend!
I love how genuine this guy is! I'm a fan now for sure
Such a good dude, so much respect for fighters that step in on short notice. ✊🏻
When you knew all this before going into it. And still can't overcome it. Skill of martial arts is amazing
Wow what a genuine and humble guy… will definitely be watching his future fights
From this point forward, Bobby should always be on a PPV main card fighting against entertaining opponents around his level. He will always be a fan favourite. Would love to see him fight someone like Brad Riddell next
"Now you know... " haha. Everyone who has fought these guy say the same. Good for bobby to step up and get the feel n experience to be in the cage w real high level grappler. He definitely know what to improve n there is level in this game
"He is so patient, his is so strong, and goes little, little, little until he gets right where he wants to be.." Hilarious!
Whatcha mean
That’s a good comment from Bobby. By making small adjustments at a time, Islam is not giving a chance for his opponents to explode and get to a better position.
The thing people need to realise about the Dagestan wrestling is their whole style is based on positional advatage over damage over time. They commit fully getting you here they want.
Hes speaking facts tho. That transition to the double was fast asf
Basically what I think Bobby meant was he just waited until he got him right where he wanted to make sure it was gonna be the toughest for Bobby to get out of it
Nothing but respect for Bobby Green. I will never miss any fights he has in the future.
Hats off to Bobby, stepped in after everyone disappeared. this guy is on a way different level.
Be strong, come back see ya soon Bobby.
Shoot I hope ufc paying him good, He did what he could out there, Mad Respect keep doing your thing🔥

Bobby, you got yourself a new fan! AND Megan does an awesome job interviewing!
Great job, Bobby. That was a tough challenge to step into at the last minute. Much respect.
After seeing him talk so much recently, I think Bobby would be a good commentator/analyst. Hope he looks into it once he retires.
he would be so good and so unique
Even if a supported Islam in this fight because i want to see him a Champion so bad, but i start liking Bobby more and more i will definitely root for him in his future fights
I've just become a fan of this guy. I love how he interviews as well.
Mad respect Bobby. You stepped up when no one would. That in itsself is enough. Go do what you got to do.
Bobby landed an extra paycheck, got some more street cred and didn't get injured. Thats why he got a smile on his face.
Much respect to Bobby for stepping in there. I ain't gonna lie, seeing how nervous he was at that last face off I kinda knew he was going to get eaten but you still have to give him all the admiration for stepping in there and fighting hard. If it inspires him to train harder and in new ways, all the better, maybe he can make a run. He certainly capable of it.
This guy is so real it's really refreshing! Go rest Bobby and thank you for activating when you were called up
Was never a fan of him because I didn’t know much of him but now you have a new fan in you Bobby Green.
I really like this guy. I saw the fight, and it was clear that Makachev was just too strong for him. But Bobby Green is one of the most likable, and odd, people in the sport. He's got to get a lot better and stronger to compete with Islam Makachev, who completely dominated the two-and-a-half minute fight.
It's not strength. It's pure technique. When you train with elite guys, they can make you move with very little effort. It's weird. It feels strong, but it is pure body mechanics. Also, love Bobby Green. Legend.
Fr
When he said he needs weights, I was like????
The reason they’re so strong is bc they dedicate everything to constant training. All of the Dag/Khabib camp look like they must’ve sparred endlessly
Bobby is such a awesome dude man. I give him so much respect.
That was a badass move to take this fight on such short notice ! Idk if its just me but alot of people i see reminds me of older friends/people i know and bobby green's energy / the way he looks and carrys himself is just a copy/ paste of my best friend from HS
Bobby´s take away perspective was great, he´s thinking about the loss, why he lost and what he needs to do to improve. You can´t fault a man for that!!!! Great attitude!!! Congrats to Islam!!!
Mad respect to bobby. Watching this was like watching a baby learn to walk.
I mean that in the most respectful way.
I am a fan of Bobby. A real professional, I like the way he broke down his fight. This guy took the fight on short notice. If he keeps working hard, I can see Bobby being a top ranked guy pretty soon.
This fight and his attitude after created a new fan in me. Respect Bobby green.
8 Top Rank fighters duck the call but Bobby stood up like a real man! I am sure with this attitude Bobby can break into that rankings and take out those old weeds that have been sitting in comfortably for a very long time
Bobby is a REAL one! Best wishes get back soon
This guy will take the ufc to the next level.....wow I could not but feel inspired. If taking an L and making it at lesson was a person.... it's him....keep up the good work
Thats the key to these elite wrestlers they are so strong and thats what surprises people when they feel the vice like grip it already to late.
He actually defended pretty well
Man nothing but respect to Bobby
More work bobby!! Im a fan now. Letsgoo
When you don’t want anyone to lose
Islam and Bobby ohh my God those are real life Hero’s
interesting..khabib once mentioned that one of the reasons he is dominant is that he controls the opponent on ground using his legs.. same here..
A no-lose situation for Bobby, despite the result. Dude's stock has risen!
Bobby has done very well I think he can be even better with the right focus guy has a decent wrestling background and doesn’t even really use it at least I’ve mainly only seem him use stand up more but it’s a lesson learned he tried his best keep
Working hard congrats to both fighters for making it happen for the fans 💯
You the real one Bobby. Win or lose. You have earned a fan for life just for being so genuine and real with us
Yo Bobby’s insane. Nobody else took the fight smh . This dudes funny asf I’m a fan now
Bobby striking with Fiziev is a testament to how good he really is!!! His last win was great but he just ran into a monster in Islam!!!
I love how Bobby green is talking about it he's like I know what to do with now I see it I was just in there and then he's going in the details like they're patient and then they wait and they move up and they move up I see it now. And also Bobby green saying man I've never been handled like that before
He made a fan out of me super humble seems like a good guy love yo see where he goes in the future
