Bobby Green's lightweight showdown against Jared Gordon on the main card of UFC Fight Night: Pavlovich vs. Blaydes ended in a no contest.

After Green made a strong start to the first round, an attempted jab forced him to lean in and inadvertently headbutt his opponent. The clash of heads threw Gordon to the canvas and helped Green capitalize by doing some ground and pound and earning the referee's intervention for a supposed win.

However, right before the result's announcement, officials reviewed the stoppage and overturned the result to a no contest due to an accidental clash of heads.

Bobby Green maintained composure inside the octagon after the no-contest was announced but could not hold back his emotions in the press conference.

In an expletive-filled rant, Green said:

“Did you ask me a question about my feelings before? You know how- f**k it, we’re gonna let some feelings out today. F**k this, f**k this, and f**k this. I get it, I get it, we f*****g clashed heads. I was trying to go for an elbow and he kind of dipped his head and we kind of clashed. But he was still f**king moving, he was trying to put me in a f*****g triangle. I fought the triangle shit off and he was still moving fine. And then after when I busted his a**, pow! Then he was f****d up. He was still straight. They want to try to slide me on my money. That’s what I am mad about. I need my money, bro. I need my money.”

Bobby Green's main concern was the missed payday due to losing out on a win.
