Bobby Green rules out retirement after brutal KO loss to Jalin Turner at UFC Austin I ain't going nowhere

Off the back of his gruesome first round KO loss to Jalin Turner in last night’s reworked UFC Austin co-main event clash, perennial lightweight contender, Bobby Green insists he has no plans to call time on his storied career, off the back of a brutal finish.

Green, the current number thirteen ranked lightweight contender, co-headlined UFC Austin last night against short-notice replacement, Turner, dropping a thunderous opening round knockout loss to the Dana White’s Contender Series alum – receiving a slew of ground strikes despite being visibly unconscious, with referee, Kerry Hatley receiving mass criticizm as a result.

The loss snapped San Bernardino native, Green’s eye-catching two-fight winning run, which included a submission win over former interim lightweight champion, Tony Ferguson back in July, which came before a blistering 33-second KO win over Grant Dawson in an October main event clash. 

Bobby Green praises Jalin Turner after UFC Austin

Addressing his loss to Turner in a video posted on his official social media last night, Green heaped praise on the former, and insisted he planned to continue his lengthy fighting career despite the troubling knockout loss.

“What up, guys,” Bobby Green said. “You win some, and you lose some, I guess. I just wanna show people you gotta keep it G when you’ve won it, and you’ve gotta keep it G when you lose. Shout out to Jalin (Turner), you did you’re thing, brother. I’m so happy for you.”

“It means the world that you stepped up on short-notice and you’ve had your success,” Bobby Green explained. “So, shout out to you. To all my people, it’s just another step in the thing. You know, just another step in the career. There’s ups, there’s downs. I’m going to keep it going, I ain’t going nowhere. Love you guys.”

Arman Tsarukyan sent a message to reigning lightweight champion Islam Makhachev following his stunning 64-second knockout of Beneil Dariush at UFC Austin.

Going into his contest with Dariush, ‘Ahalkalakets’ was sitting as the No. 8 ranked lightweight in the world, come Monday, he’ll see himself in the top five, moving him significantly closer to a potential rematch with Makhachev. Following his first-round destruction of Dariush in The Lone Star State, Arman Tsarukyan sent a message to the ‘Dagestani Destroyer’ letting him know that their title tilt won’t end the same way as their first meeting.

“I was 22 years old [when I first fought Makhachev],” Tsarukyan said. “Now I’m 27. I got improved. The next fight is going to be a different one. I’m going to knock him out.”

Arman Tsarukyan Could Be waiting a While for his lightweight title opportunity

Meeting in April 2019, Makhachev scored a decisive unanimous decision victory over Tsarukyan. Makhachev is currently on a 13-fight win streak which includes his world title-winning performance against Charles Oliveira last year and back-to-back defenses against featherweight king Alexander Volkanovski.

Tsarukyan has now won eight of his last nine and could very well be one big win away from a long-awaited title opportunity. Unfortunately, even with his big win over Dariush, Tsarukyan could still be waiting for quite a while with both Charles Oliveira and Justin Gaethje awaiting their own shot at the 155-pound crown.

Jalin Turner lands vicious first round KO win over Bobby Green at UFC Austin

Short-notice replacement, Jalin Turner has snapped his two-fight losing skid tonight in the co-main event of UFC Austin tonight in Texas, laying waste to fan-favorite striker, Bobby Green with a first round KO — with commentators and pundits alike voicing their concern with a controversial stoppage from referee, Kerry Hatley.

Turner, who replaced would-be common-foe, Dan Hooker in tonight’s short-notice lightweight clash with Green at UFC Austin, managed to turned in a dominant first round win over the San Bernardino native, crushing him on the feet with a slew of strikes.

Handing Green his first loss in three fights following back-to-back stoppage triumphs over both former interim lightweight champion Tony Ferguson and highly-touted prospect, Grant Dawson earlier this year.

Clipping Green with a right hand which drew a wobble from the Californian, Turner, who immediately pounced and landed a slew of further follow-up strikes, eventually rendered the former unconscious with a barrage of ground strikes, with referee, Hatley receiving some warranted flak for his untimely stoppage of the action.
