Green fought Ferguson in July at UFC 291 and handed him his sixth straight loss, surprising fans by submitting the longtime veteran.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Bobby Green doesn&#8217;t believe it<br \/>\nPaddy Pimblett, who is on a four-game winning streak, sits between Ferguson and the UFC losing streak, while Green is currently on a two-game winning streak. Green doubts Pimblett is serious and wants to play his UFC momentum on him.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cPaddy knows it\u2019s a bad fight for him,\u201d Green continues. \u201cHe doesn\u2019t want it. He just talks. Until he started walking and got rid of Tony and we talked about it. We&#8217;ll talk after that. But Paddy doesn&#8217;t want that. It would be a bad fight for him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When asked about Ferguson&#8217;s ability to achieve victory, Green was optimistic about his former opponent, who trained with former Navy SEAL David Goggins.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cI feel like Tony is going to start pulling something out around the third round, around the second and third rounds,\u201d Green said. \u201cHe has good pace, he comes really hard, he can take good shots. If Paddy doesn&#8217;t take him to the ground, if he doesn&#8217;t try to do jiu-jitsu, I think Tony will get him. Tony also hits very well. \u00bb<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Bobby Green faces Jalin Turner this weekend in a very undecided lightweight fight after having a tangle with Arman Tsarukyan during fight week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bobby Green responded to Paddy Pimblett&#8217;s call for UFC 300 and it seems the Englishman doesn&#8217;t like his response.
