Bobby Green Returns to Action in an Important Lightweight Matchup at UFC 271

UFC is actively building its first two major cards of the year. The World Heavyweight title will be up for grab at UFC 270 later this month, featuring French fighter Ciryl Gane and Francis Ngannou. Meanwhile, UFC 271 is also being stacked with an impressive roster of fights with the main event featuring middleweight kingpin Israel Adesanya and Robert Whittaker. 

Reports from within the grapevines of the community suggest rising lightweight fighter Bobby Green has agreed to fight on the same card. The American mixed martial artist is set to go up against the German fighter, Nasrat Haqparast.

The promotion hasn’t confirmed the news just yet and the official fight card doesn’t reflect the same. However, a recent report from combat sports analyst, Marcel Dorff, suggests the fight has been confirmed for the card. The news was first reported by Walter Salcido, suggesting the fight has been agreed upon and signed by both parties.

Stylistically, this match-up has fireworks written on it from the get-go. Both strikers possess the ability to put on a crazy performance that will leave fans wanting for more.

Bobby Green has been finding it hard to find his footing in the lightweight division. He bounced back from a string of losses with the lonesome impressive victory over Al Iaquinta in November 2021; he finished that encounter in the first round itself through a technical knock-out. California’s brightest is trying to forge his pathway to the title contention by taking on formidable names.

Nasrat has been on the same pathway, but his last outing against top contender Dan ‘Hangman’ Hooker proved to be a bit too much. Bobby is on the verge of breaking into the top 15 and needs to pick up more victories, while Nasrat is still a long way out of the lightweight picture. Bobby already has a fight of the year contender bout against top contender Rafael Fiziev.
