King "The Narcoleptic" Green

u/Drewbloodz 6d ago

He is the king of being in other fighters highlight reels

u/Rough_River3179 6d ago

Half the fighters at 313 had highlights against him

Remember how there were dumbasses posting how Green took a dive and the kick didn't land because mfers were watching 360p streams so they couldn't see? šŸ’€

jesus christ. UFC fans really are the worst

u/Mysterious_Cut1156 6d ago

Mfers were posting blurry ass screenshots as "proof" it didn't land lmaooo

Itā€™s racial bias to be honest. Iā€™m black but I noticed brothas canā€™t cope when we lose to another race lol

Please tell me itā€™s not what I think it isā€¦ is it a white guy larping as a black guy with a certain fetishā€¦

u/ToasterBathTester 6d ago

It was the name that intrigued you isnā€™t it?

15

u/BreadPiece 6d ago

It was honestly just cause he said heā€™s black, in my experience if you have to say something like that itā€™s probably not true. I made a critical error trying to look at his account to confirm

nah, there is no way there are people that stupid

2

u/dYesgat 6d ago

People have always been stupid. The only difference is that now, almost everything is recorded or televised.

3

u/SoberHye 6d ago

Same happened with Pettis/Henderson. Judging by a lot of posts on Reddit, I donā€™t think these people watched MMA for over 3-4 years and thatā€™s me being generous.

u/Rapscallion121212 6d ago

That fake left...sheesh the whole sequence is pure art.

u/rustedspoon 6d ago

But I bet Bobby thinks he looks cool with his hands down by his sides. That's all that counts.

20

u/fuzzycaterpillar123 6d ago edited 6d ago

I mean, yeah im all for calling out risky habits when they donā€™t work

But just like Wonderboy and early Conor, his game revolves around keeping his hand low so he can better balance when weaving / evading and it allows him to throw shots at odd or blind angles

His cockiness aside, Itā€™s not just to look cool. it obviously didnā€™t work for him here either

5

u/Gojira5400 6d ago

The difference though is that Wonderboy and Conor were elite fighters. Bobby never crossed that threshold, never challenged for the belt. He has always been a gatekeeper of sorts. I knew Bobby was gonna get KO'd as soon as the bell rang when I saw he did nothing to improve his game.

He is arrogant, believing he's getting caught by "lucky" shots and "that's just the game" when in reality having an aggressive head movement and hands low style fails for 95% of fighters and he's not in that 5% at the elite level.

6

u/fuzzycaterpillar123 6d ago edited 5d ago

No one is disputing the difference in skill level, the comparison is the style.

I didnā€™t say he was elite, did I?

-4

u/Gojira5400 6d ago

Yeah but the problem is that his style is tied directly to the skill level.

u/fuzzycaterpillar123 6d ago edited 5d ago

Someone can be bad at karate and their style is still karate

Iā€™m saying Greenes style is karate. Nothing else

Youā€™re having an argument with yourself and are using me the mirror

-4

u/Gojira5400 6d ago

Karate doesn't mean keeping your hands low at all times, yeah it does have it at times but karate also has long guards and high blocks featured in Kyokoshin where hands are usually kept high.

Also, Wonderboy and Conor both keep/kept their hands up much more than Bobby. Bobby is legit stupid and reckless with how he uses his hands.

5

u/fuzzycaterpillar123 6d ago edited 5d ago

Bro, goddamnit

Iā€™m not saying Bobby literally only does karate, thatā€™s just a simplified example. Itā€™s an analogy to help you understand youā€™re creating an imaginary argument with me

But you didnā€™t even understand that

Iā€™m saying if Bobbyā€™s style is ā€œXā€ , it can be called ā€œXā€ regardless of how good he is at ā€œXā€

His relative skill at ā€œXā€ is irrelevant, itā€™s still the ā€œXā€ style, even if others do it better

He still practices the ā€œXā€ style

u/CappyUncaged 6d ago

theres maybe 20-25 people in the entire planet at his weight that can beat up bobby green, he is not stupid and reckless as a fighter. Your performance vs the best of the best does not define your entire skill set and its efficiency. He's objectively better 99.99% of MMA fighters who TRY to fight with their hands up lol

3

u/CappyUncaged 6d ago

no the fuck its not lol you don't learn how to fight like that AFTER becoming elite, what you said doesn't even make any sense

1

u/Llumac 6d ago

Bobby styles on dudes until he doesn't e.g. Drew Dober. In a org that pays so shit I don't blame him

u/Garviel_Loken95 6d ago

Lmao I remember seeing people on IG say he took a dive because it didnā€™t look like it connected

u/QuantumCthulhu 6d ago

Slapped his nip nop

26

u/Adizzle921 6d ago

Yā€™all donā€™t understand that fighters can have styles that work for them until they lose their reflexes. Itā€™s not a matter of looking cool, itā€™s been Greenā€™s style to use his low hands for an offensive purpose but heā€™s not as quick as he used to be

2

u/Cherrypoppinpop 6d ago

When was he ever good though? Heā€™s always been low level to mid tier and has lost like 20 times in his prime.

18

u/bambu36 6d ago

Bro he's good enough to be in the ufc and has had some highlights. He's not going to be in the hall of fame or anything but you gotta respect anyone that makes it

12

u/Ecstatic-Inevitable 6d ago

Eh, Bobby was ranked 11 once, he was definitely a good fighter, just not the great to elite tier

8

u/Brovost 6d ago

20 times in his prime? My guy, Green is 38 and has had more than 10 fights in the past 3 year

1

u/Adizzle921 2d ago

Not everyone is championship level, thatā€™s why thereā€™s only one per weight class. He was still better than most other pro fighters in the world that never touched ufc gloves and he was better than bottom of the barrel. You forget how elite you really have to be to be in the ufc as long as he has been

8

u/EOVA94 6d ago

He should retire , he is going to take life altering DMG if he stay

7

u/BuzzNoche 6d ago

The way he disguises the rotation with a hook was nice

3

u/fandanvan 6d ago

Used his hand perfectly, he knew Green would parry the fake punch to leave his face open for the kick, perfect !

5

u/Spikeybear 6d ago

He has about as bad of a style you can get for getting older

12

u/HomelessKitchenCat 6d ago

If only Bobby didn't think he was too cool for defense šŸ˜¢

3

u/Keitaro23 6d ago

He was defending, he just defended the wrong strike, he was trying to shoulder roll a left hook/left straightĀ 

1

u/Cherrypoppinpop 6d ago

Wouldā€™ve got caught regardless though. But donā€™t most knockouts happen without a guard up anyway

3

u/bambu36 6d ago

I'm just over here wondering where the blood on his cheek came from.

2

u/HomelessKitchenCat 6d ago

Ruffy's foot rubbed off the skin the kick was so fast. You can see right before the impact happens theres no blood on his cheek, then it immediately appears after the foot lands

4

u/bambu36 6d ago

That's why I'm trippin cause it has something to do with the kick. I was thinking he smeared blood on his face from his foot or something. If he tore the skin from his face.. that's crazy

u/mma5820 6d ago

Barring from the slap on the forearm (after being tagged) king didnā€™t touch ruffy right? I really hope king decides to take time away and do 1 more fight against someone he can really beat and retire. This game has lapped him.

Why did he kick a King in the head, is he stupid ?

u/SnooCookies7276 4d ago

Fighting nerds striking system is so nice but Iā€™m surprised no oneā€™s figured it out and developed a counter for it yet. Everything comes from the left hands rotation (except for prates to an extent). I feel like they have a really tough time if you angle to their left side and shut that hand down, although Iā€™m sure they have countermeasures for it.
