Bobby Green is clearly frustrated after not being able to deliver more resistance to Islam Makhachev in the UFC Fight Night 202 main event.
Green (29-13-1 MMA, 10-8-1 UFC) was taken down and pounded out with strikes by Makhachev (22-1 MMA, 11-1 UFC) in the opening round of their 160-pound catchweight fight at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. Green took the fight on 10 days’ notice when Beneil Dariush suffered an injury, and oddsmakers had him as the biggest betting underdog in a UFC headliner over the past five years.
Still, though, Green came into the fight confident he could not only surpass expectations, but actually get his hand raised against Makhachev. The reality was different, however, and afterward, a disappointed Green expressed some disappointment about his lack of preparation for such a big moment.
