Blitzed by Jalin Turner
Green lost to Jalin Turner via KO (punches) at 2:49 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Austin, Texas.
ANALYSIS
It's a disappointing defeat for Green, but not one that impacts any long-term plans given the fact he's 37 years of age. "King" agreed to face Turner in this fight after his originally scheduled opponent, Dan Hooker, withdrew about 10 days ago due to an arm injury. The two engaged in the brawl many predicted, with Green crumbling first. The real crime here came at the end of the fight, at which point referee Kerry Hatley forced a prone Green to absorb countless unanswered strikes before stepping in. It was a potentially dangerous situation. Thankfully, Bobby appeared to be fine. It's really not about wins and losses for Green at this stage of his career. Keep in mind, this is a guy that planned on retiring earlier in 2023 before walking it back. We'll probably see him again inside the Octagon, but it's not a guarantee.

Green is scheduled to fight Jalin Turner in a lightweight bout at UFC Austin on Dec. 2, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Green was expected to fight Dan Hooker before the latter suffered an arm injury that forced his bout withdrawal. Green can still jump the UFC rankings a little bit by defeating Turner, who is ranked only one spot ahead of him at No. 12 and fighting off a loss to Hooker himself.

Won't fight Hooker
Green will no longer fight Dan Hooker (arm) at UFC Austin on Dec. 2, Nolan King of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Hooker was forced to withdraw from the fight after suffering an arm injury Tuesday. The UFC hasn't pulled Green off the card just yet, and the promotion is in the process of searching for a fighter to take Hooker's place at the event.

Stunning main event victory
Green defeated Grant Dawson via KO (punches) at 0:33 of Round 1 at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Keep in mind that Green was scheduled to retire following a fight against Jared Gordon this past April. That one ended as a no contest following an accidental clash of heads and Green decided to continue his career. He submitted a washed up Tony Ferguson in late July, but no one could have possible predicted he'd finish the surging Dawson as a +380 underdog in a shade of 30 seconds. Heck, "King" Green had all of one knockout win in the past decade. One jab and some follow-up shots later, Green had his second. Bobby remains miles from title contention in a loaded lightweight division, but don't expect him to hang up his gloves anytime soon following this result.
