‘Don’t play with my name’: UFC’s Bobby Green fired up about USADA suspension tarnishing reputation

LAS VEGAS – Bobby Green arrived at UFC Fight Night 216 media day with a lot to get off his chest. He walked up on the dais and grabbed the microphone before knocking over a Monster water bottle that was standing on the table in front of him. After that, he looked up to the ceiling and took a deep breath.

Then he went off.

“I’ve been chastised. I’ve been villainized,” Green told reporters at the UFC Apex before he could be asked a question. “I’ve been anymore of those ‘ized’ [sic] I can come up with – scrutinized – talking about this, that, drugs. Drugs? I fought everybody, I think maybe two people with more than 30 days’ (notice). There’s no way I can be on drugs. Don’t play with my name. I’m not that guy. If you think that I would do – play with my public [sic]. I’ve never lied to none of my public ever. I don’t tell lies. Only lies I tell is to the woman I lay with, you know, because she can’t deal with the truth. Besides her, I don’t tell no lies. I don’t tell no lies to my homies, and I definitely don’t lie to my public.”
