Bobby Green did what seemingly no other man would do when he agreed to step in and face Islam Makhachev on short notice at UFC Vegas 49. He was coming off of a great fight at UFC 271 and agreed to fight two weeks after.

Obviously, the weight was a factor and Bobby Green wasn't exactly close to the lightweight limit when his manager called. The UFC lightweight asked for the fight to take place at 160.

“I’m fat as shit,” Green recalled on Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour. “I’m like 195 pounds and I gotta cut to 155?”

Bobby Green was the only UFC lightweight that was willing to step up and face Islam Makhachev. He didn't hold back while talking about the rest of the division.

“All those motherfuckers [top-10 ranked lightweights] got the call first. I guarantee you. All those guys are pussies. They want to wait and pick their terms,” said Green. “All those guys are playing a weird game and holding their cards in and they wait for the right time to pull out their ace. No. Sometimes you gotta jump on it and take it the way it is and now I’m jumping over all you guys. Because why? You’re too pussy to take the opportunity.”

The UFC lightweight admits he has a different mentality than everyone else when it comes to taking the fight on Saturday. He wants to prove that he truly is built different.

“I want to show people I’m not crazy, I’m fucking nuts… [I’m going to] get in there and do this shit, with the highest [ranked] guy in our fucking division,” said Green. “I’m gonna walk in there like a gangster and punch that guy right in his fucking face. I’m going to keep hitting him in his face until he goes down.”
