What they said
Islam Makhachev: "It’s going to be a good fight because we almost have the same style.
“He has good grappling skills, he has good striking, and it’s going to be a good fight.
"I don’t think it’s going to be hard for me."
Bobby Green: "With Islam, he does what he does, but to be honest, it’s kind of boring.
"Even if he’s getting finishes, it’s still been boring! So my whole thing is entertainment, excitement.
"So he can be championship material, but it’s just f***ing boring."
