Bobby Green sought payback against Arman Tsarukyan and his group at the fighter’s hotel in Austin, Texas. Recently released footage shows Green and his teammates confronting Tsarukyan’s crew, sparking a big fight. But this wasn’t an unexpected event.
Earlier this week, Tsarukyan and his team approached Green at the UFC Austin host hotel. Both fighters are set to compete on ESPN/ESPN+ tomorrow night, and tensions flared. Words were exchanged between the lightweights, leading Green to stand up. When Green challenged Tsarukyan, things got heated as Tsarukyan grabbed Green’s neck. They were separated before things got worse, but it was evident this wouldn’t be the end.

Things heated up on Saturday when a fresh video revealed Team Green heading towards Tsarukyan and his crew. A fight broke out, started by Green’s actions. The scene turned chaotic, to put it mildly.
It’s disappointing that Green and Tsarukyan weren’t facing off this weekend. “King” is set to battle Jalin Turner in the co-main event, while Tsarukyan headlines against Beneil Dariush. But if both win at UFC Austin, it’d be surprising not to see them paired up early next year.
