Bobby Green’s anticipated fight has taken an unexpected turn, which apparently led to a physical altercation prior to the event.
On Wednesday, Bobby Green alleged that he was attacked by a member of Arman Tsarukyan’s team, marking an unusual escalation ahead of their upcoming bouts. Green fights Jalin Turner in the UFC on ESPN 52 co-main event at Moody Center in Austin, Texas. Meanwhile, Tsarukyan is set to headline the lightweight event against Beneil Dariush.
According to Green, the incident was caught on video and shows security attempting to restrain Tsarukyan’s team members. Green’s subsequent Instagram videos continued to escalate the situation with strong language and claims of defending himself against the alleged attacker.
As of now, neither Tsarukyan nor the UFC has issued a public statement on the incident, but Green’s management, Iridium Sports Agency, released a statement acknowledging the altercation.
This unusual pre-fight altercation has certainly added an extra layer of intensity to an already highly anticipated event.
