Paddy Pimblett calls out ‘fake tough’ Bobby Green for talking trash in presence of wife

The lightweight division is heating up as Paddy Pimblett and Bobby Green prepare to face off at UFC 304. But the drama started long before the Octagon was booked. Pimblett recently took to YouTube to air his grievances about an incident from 2022. The Liverpool native claims Green secretly recorded him at UFC San Diego while talking trash.

The 29-year-old didn’t mince words, accusing Bobby Green of lacking the courage to come face to face with him. He said that Green instead filmed him from behind while he was with his wife and talked trash about him the whole time. Plus, he had a challenge for Green as well.

Remember when I was in San Diego with my wife, and you were sitting two rows behind me? Videoing on Instagram live the back of my head, talking sh*t about me…Didn’t have the ba*ls to come over and say nothing to my face…Grapple with me then, lad.

Green, for his part, hasn’t been shy about his opinions on Pimblett. During the 2022 incident, he went on Instagram Live to question Pimblett’s credibility. He threw shade at Pimblett, saying that he was afraid to fight Green. This verbal sparring adds another layer of intrigue to their upcoming clash. Both fighters have something to prove in the competitive lightweight division.

Pimblett, the rising star, recently took on Tony Ferguson and won. With a win over Green, he aims to crack the top 15 rankings. Green, the seasoned warrior, looks to build on his recent dominant victory over Jim Miller at UFC 300. His goal would be to dominate Pimblett at UFC 304 the same way he did Miller, only this time, the bad blood is real.
