Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal fought at UFC 272 over a week ago but both are still in the news because of their recent altercation. Bobby Green recently spoke out about their recent situation.
Bobby Green compared Colby Covington's gimmick to Chael Sonnen from back in the day. The UFC lightweight admits the idea is good but the execution is not good compared to Sonnen.
“[Colby] is talented, he reminded me of Chael,” Green said on The Joe Rogan Experience. “He had to use the mouthpiece to get more seen, instead of his actual talent. Cause he is a skilled fighter, it’s sad that he’s kind of tainted.
“Chael did it in a great way. At first it was little ‘ooh’ and nobody understood what he was doing. But Chael made it funny. He made it interesting. I saw him giving the bus a carrot. Colby doesn’t deliver it the same way. It’s offensive. It’s hard to swallow.”
Bobby Green also talked about the altercation between Jorge Masvidal and Colby Covington. The UFC star admitted both fighters were in the wrong for the incident.
“For us, the real g’s, the Nate’s, the Khabib’s, the Jorge’s… we look at you like, ‘Hey, you gotta back that shit up’. If you gonna be that type of guy, go back that shit up, go stand on it. You can’t be the guy that you are talking the shit, but then he approach you, you ain’t ready with that time.
“You ain’t on that time. Like, if I’m gonna be on that type of aggression with somebody, then I know what time it is. When I’m saying what I’m saying and I see that person. I know what time it is.”
