Bobby Green suffered one of the worst losses at UFC Austin, but the MMA lifer is keeping his head high.
In Saturday’s co-main event, Green was on the wrong end of a nasty knockout from Jalin Turner, an outcome made far worse due to an irresponsibly late stoppage by referee Kerry Hatley. Turner sent Green to the canvas with a pair of hard punches, then followed up with powerful ground-and-pound on a seemingly defenseless Green until the fight was finally waved off. Hatley’s decision-making was widely panned by the MMA community, with UFC CEO Dana White calling the stoppage “one of the worst I’ve ever seen.”
Shortly after the conclusion of UFC Austin, Green shared an update on his status via Instagram Stories. He did not mention Hatley’s stoppage, focusing primarily on crediting Turner for the win.
“What up, guys?” Green said. “You win some, you lose some. I guess I want to show people that you’ve got to keep it G and you’ve got to keep it G when you lose.
“Shout out to Jalin, you did your thing, brother. I’m so happy for you. It means the world that you stepped up on short notice and you had your success, so shout out to you. To all my people, it’s just another step in the thing, you know. Another step in the career. There’s ups, there’s downs, I’m a keep it going. I’m not going nowhere. Love you, guys.”
Green, a veteran of 48 pro bouts, entered Saturday’s event on a two-fight win streak, which included a stunning 33-second upset knockout of Grant Dawson. He was originally scheduled to fight Dan Hooker, but when Hooker withdrew due to an arm injury, Turner was called upon to step into the co-headlining bout on nine days’ notice.
Turner’s gamble paid off as he snapped a two-fight skid and improved his UFC record to 7-4 with all of his wins coming by way of knockout or submission.
