'She hit me up' — Bobby Green Details Suspicious Encounter with Mackenzie Dern’s Partner After Viral Moment

Mackenzie Dern’s partner tried to set up Bobby Green after the lightweight standout made a one-word remark during Dern’s UFC 298 weigh-in that quickly went viral.

As Dern made her way to the scale ahead of her main card clash with Amanda Lemos, Green was caught with a hot mic letting out a “Sheesh” which earned the attention of the MMA community.

The comment was seemingly innocent enough but ended up resulting in an exchange of words between Green and Dern’s husband.

Taking to his Instagram Stories, ‘King’ revealed that he initially engaged in a text exchange with the Brazilian fan favorite where she had mentioned her husband. Shortly after, Green began receiving messages from another number claiming to be Dern who was eager to meet up that same day.

Green declined the opportunity and later discovered that it was actually Dern’s husband messaging him in some sort of attempted set-up.

“As soon as that little sh*t went viral, she hit me up… I’m trying to talk, you know. She’s like, ‘I got a husband’… But then all of a sudden, from another number, she supposedly hit me up… She’s like, ‘You wanna meet?’ I’m like, ‘S**t, if you wanna meet up, I’m down to meet.’ But she was real persistent… She kept insisting, ‘Today! we gotta meet up.’ I’m like, ‘Nah… I can’t meet you right now.’

“I end up hitting her back… and the text goes. ‘This is her husband and I was talking to you’. And I felt like there was something funny… I felt like the ni*** was trying to set me up… It would have been a bad night, bro” (h/t Sportskeeda).

We certainly can’t blame Green for shooting his shot with the former ADCC champion.

Mackenzie Dern and Bobby Green Have lost two of their last three

Green and Dern have lost two of their last three inside the Octagon with ‘King’ suffering first-round losses against Jalin Turner and Paddy Pimblett. In between the defeats, he earned a unanimous decision victory over Jim Miller at UFC 300 in April.

The loss against Pimblett pushed him out of the lightweight top 15.

Meanwhile, Dern recently bounced back with a big win over Loopy Godinez in Abu Dhabi after coming up short against former UFC titleholder Jessica Andrade and one-time title challenger Amanda Lemos in her previous outings. Dern is still clinging to the No. 8 spot in the strawweight division.

Next, Dern will return to the mat for the inaugural Craig Jones Invitational in Las Vegas this weekend. She’s scheduled to face defending ADCC gold medalist Ffion Davies in a highly anticipated BJJ superfight.

Paddy Pimblett made a huge statement at UFC 304, scoring an easy first-round submission of King Green in under four minutes and likely clinching a spot in the UFC’s lightweight rankings.

After Pimblett nailed Green with several low kicks early in the fight, the veteran American made a questionable decision by trying to take down “The Baddy,” who is a grappling expert. Pimblett countered with a guillotine before transitioning into a triangle choke, which Pimblett told ESPN MMA’s Megan Olivi after the fight is his favorite kind of submission.

As Pimblett looked for an armbar, Green could be seen unconscious, giving him a submission win.

When Pimblett reflected on how the fight played out, he expressed concern that others might move the goal posts and say that Green, who was ranked No. 15, is not the kind of quality opponent to get him into the rankings.

The Liverpool native, however, had a counterargument in mind.

“First person in the UFC to submit Bobby Green, and that’s like his 25th UFC fight or something like that,” Pimblett said. “Even Islam [Makhachev] couldn’t do that. But people are going to keep underestimating me. People are going to move the goal posts now and say, ‘Oh Bobby is finished, Bobby this, Bobby that,’ when last week it was, ‘Bobby’s going to beat Paddy up. Bobby’s going to do this to him, he’s going to do that, he’s going to dog-walk him.’ What happened?”

Paddy Pimblett May Be Cageside For Renato Moicano vs. Benoît Saint Denis In Paris After UFC 304 Win

In the Octagon at UFC 304, Pimblett called out Renato Moicano for his next fight. Though the two have had exchanges on social media, the Brazilian s currently booked to face Benoît Saint Denis in Paris on September 28.

While Pimblett hopes to be placed at No. 10 in the rankings, he will take being at No. 15, as he looks up toward other contenders to continue his momentum and rise up the 155 ranks.

“Before this Bobby Green fight got made, me and Renato were speaking about each other on Twitter,” Pimblett said. “A lot of people up front of me in the rankings can’t really say no. The only thing about Renato now is that he’s got a fight. He’s fighting BSD in Paris. You never know, might end up going out there. Might end up being cageside for that.”

Moicano and Saint Denis are set to headline the upcoming UFC Fight Night in the French capital, with the former looking to build on his momentum from a knockout of Jalin Turner at UFC 300 and “God of War” hoping to bounce back from his loss to Dustin Poirier at UFC 299.

There can be no question that Paddy Pimblett is legit now, as he will have a ranking next to his name after his win over King Green (formerly Bobby Green) at UFC 304.

Green looked to use the leg kicks and set things up early, but he found himself unable to establish the jab.

In a move that baffled people late in the first round, Green shot in for a takedown. Pimblett easily countered it and looked for a guillotine before transitioning into a triangle choke. Pimblett sunk in the triangle in tight, and as he looked to turn it into a triangle armbar, it could be seen that Green was out cold, forcing the referee to stop the fight.

Following the fight, Pimblett used the opportunity to call out Renato Moicano.
