UFC Fighters React to Bobby Green Submission Victory over Tony Ferguson at UFC 291

UFC 291 saw both Tony Ferguson and Bobby Green look to overcome their recent losing runs and get back in the win column.

Fan favourite ‘El Cucuy’ Ferguson’s (25-9) run of losses stretches all the way back to June of 2019 when he defeated Donald Cerrone via tko.

Meanwhile, Bobby Green (30-14-1) was also looking to return to the win column having previously competed back in April of this year, where his bout with Jared Gordon was ruled a no-contest due to an accidental clash of heads.

Previously to the Gordon NC, Green is coming off back-to-back knockout losses to Drew Dober and Champion Islam Makhachev.

In the nights highly anticipated bout Ferguson vs. Green, saw both fighters going at each other. In a even back and forth affair. Ferguson took an early advantage dropping Bobby Green with a right hand in the opening round, but Green comfortably won round two. With a decision becoming the most likely scenario in third and final round, Ferguson attempted a takedown that saw Green gain top position. From there, Green locked in an arm triangle choke that resulted with Ferguson going to sleep.

Ferg had some moments but the end of that round was ugly for him. Better make some adjustments going into R2

As much fun as Prime Ferg was to watch he really needs to hang it up and find something else he wants to do in life 😪😪😪
