Bobby Green is one of the veterans of the UFC. The lightweight contender will face fellow veteran Jim Miller at UFC 300 in a highly anticipated fight. UFC CEO Dana White had earlier promised an MMA journalist to put Miller at UFC 300, and he kept his promise. Green appeared on the JAXXON podcast before his fight with Jalin Turner at UFC Austin.

Green has fought close to 50 professional fights. Moreover, he has fought in obscure locations in Mexico at the beginning of his career. On the JAXXON podcast, Green had an interesting story to tell about one of his fights in Tijuana, Mexico.

I'm fighting this guy named Herman Terrado. You know what that is? He's just f*ckin this huge-ass, roided-out f*cker, you know. Just huge. I think he fights at 185, so I happen to just be looking at the paperwork...I look at the paperwork; it says he weighed in at 185, you know, and we're fighting at 155.... So, we get in, um, we get in the back of the dressing room, and Herman comes into our dressing room......Then they leave, and when they left, I had this thought in the back of my head like, 'f*ck that guy was huge, you know.' And I didn't say nothing, though. But I looked at my corner, and they said, 'Hey, that n**ga was huge.'

What’s interesting about the story is that Green defeated Terrado without even a day in between his defeat to Josh Gaskins in California. His fight with Gaskins was on March 8 in Tustin, California and he fought Terrado in Tijuana on March 9. Green defeated Terrado by guillotine choke in the third round in the fight he fought for a $800 payday.

As per Green, he bested Strickland at the time. Green stated that Strickland’s sparring sessions with himself and Lorenz Larkin were the reason for Strickland’s improved boxing style.

Green also revealed that Strickland did not have a filter even at the time. However, Green stated that the duo did not have a relationship as they hated each other.
