UFC lightweight Bobby Green wants one of his peers to prove they’re “gangster” by stepping up on short notice for a showdown in Texas.
Eleven days before Green (31-14-1 MMA, 12-9-1 UFC) was scheduled to compete at UFC on ESPN 52 at the Moody Center in Austin, Texas, his opponent Dan Hooker (23-12 MMA, 13-8 UFC) was revealed to be injured and out of their five-round co-main event bout. The event is headlined by a lightweight bout between Beneil Dariush and Arman Tsarukyan.
