Bobby Green stormed out of the UFC Vegas 71 post-fight press conference after his match against Jared Gordon was ruled a no-contest due to an accidental clash of heads.
Bobby Green wasn’t feeling particularly chatty after his UFC Vegas 71 no-contest. He slammed the microphone down and stormed out of the event’s post-fight press conference after answering just one question. His disappointing fight against Jared Gordon appeared to be a first-round knockout win for Green at first, but was ultimately ruled a no-contest due to an accidental clash of heads.
“F*** it, we’re going to let some feelings out today,” Green said Saturday night at his post-fight press conference. “F*** this, f*** this, and f*** this. I get it, I get it, we f****** clashed heads. I was trying to go for an elbow and he kind of dipped his head and we kind of clashed, but he was still f****** moving. He was trying to put me into a f****** triangle.” Green also expressed frustration about not getting his money, saying, “I need my money, bro. I need my money.”
The fight-ending sequence began with Green charging inside, missing a left hand, and accidentally clashing heads with Gordon, who instantly tumbled to the canvas. Green then stood over Gordon and rained down a series of brutal punches that left him out cold. Green, 36, briefly celebrated what could have been a welcome victory after a two-fight losing streak and his first UFC win since February 2022. However, upon replay review, referee Keith Peterson and representatives from the Nevada Athletic Commission deemed the fight to be a no-contest.
Gordon, 34, is no stranger to bad luck, having been on the wrong side of one of the most controversial results of 2022 in his prior fight against Paddy Pimblett. Nonetheless, Gordon took the latest stroke of misfortune in stride, tweeting post-fight, “Man life is weird. I don’t know what to think…thank you for all the support though.”
