I personally don’t recall that many boring Bobby Green fights. Maybe I haven’t watched enough of them, but every time I see his name on a fight card, I know it would be at the very least 15 minutes of non-stop action.
His 2013 fight with James Krause is just one of the many examples, back when Fight for the Troops was still a thing. Both men entered the contest bearing at least 20 wins on their record.
Right off the bat, the two engaged in a fast-paced stand-up battle. But just 30 seconds into the action, Green inadvertently landed a push kick right below Krause’s cup, a clean shot at that.
The action continued for a few minutes, only to be once again halted by a Bobby Green groin shot. Another clean blow to the crown jewels, sending Krause to his knees.
Green carried on with his kick-heavy approach until he landed another kick on Krause’s mid-section. Referee John McCarthy waved off the fight and immediately notified Krause that it was a legal blow. Green was ultimately awarded the first-round TKO win.

This weekend, Green will be back in action as he steps in on short notice to fight Islam Makhachev at UFC Vegas 49 at a 160-pound catchweight. I always have some added respect for guys and gals who take on such a challenge, and I do believe this would be a fun one to watch.
