In a recent development within the UFC community, lightweight contender Bobby Green found himself in a social media whirlwind following a one-word comment directed at fellow fighter Mackenzie Dern during the UFC 298 weigh-ins. The moment, which was captured and widely shared on various social media platforms, featured Green uttering a simple “Sheesh!” as Dern approached the scale. This seemingly innocuous reaction quickly gained traction online, leading to unexpected consequences for Green.
Following the viral incident, Green took to his Instagram stories to disclose a private conversation that occurred between him and Dern’s husband as a result of his comment at the weigh-in. Green recounted receiving messages from an unknown number, with the sender initially claiming to be Dern herself. The messages were persistent, with requests to meet up that very day, which Green declined. It was later revealed to him that the person behind the messages was, in fact, Dern’s husband. Green expressed his suspicion about the situation, suggesting that it might have been an attempt to set him up for a confrontation.
Amidst the personal drama, both fighters are continuing their professional journeys in the UFC. Mackenzie Dern was last seen in the octagon at UFC 298, where she faced Amanda Lemos. Despite a valiant effort, Dern was unable to secure a victory and lost the bout by unanimous decision. On the other hand, Bobby Green is preparing for his upcoming fight. ‘King’ is scheduled to appear on the star-studded UFC 300 card, where he will compete against veteran Jim Miller in a lightweight matchup. The event is set to take place at the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada, on April 13.
The story of Green’s interaction with Dern’s husband and the subsequent fallout has caught the attention of the MMA community, with an account named @ParryPunchNews posting a video clip of Green’s recounting of the events. Fans and followers of the sport can view the video to hear Green’s comments firsthand. As both fighters focus on their careers, the UFC continues to provide a platform for high-level competition and personal narratives that captivate audiences worldwide.
