After all the hype and callouts, Bobby Green’s got his shot. He’s stepping into the cage with the UFC’s rising star, Paddy Pimblett. The announcement dropped Thursday. Green vs. Pimblett is set to light up UFC 304, and fans are buzzing.
They’ve both been talking a big game. Now, they’ll face off, likely on the main card. Alongside them, we’ve got Muhammed Mokaev vs. Manel Kape and Arnold Allen vs. Giga Chikadze. Manchester, England, is the place to be, hosting these bouts at the shiny new Co-op Live.
Green’s been on a bit of a tear lately. Winning three out of his last four fights, he’s made a statement. He submitted Tony Ferguson and dominated Grant Dawson. Sure, Jalin Turner caught him with a knockout. But Green bounced back, outclassing Jim Miller in a fight that wasn’t even close.
Pimblett, the Liverpool lad, burst onto the UFC scene in 2021. He’s notched five wins in a row, impressing everyone. Luigi Vendramini, Rodrigo Vargas, and Jordan Leavitt all fell to “The Baddy.” Jared Gordon gave him a run for his money, though. That decision was… let’s just say, controversial. But Pimblett kept his streak alive, outworking Ferguson in their clash.
UFC 304 is shaping up to be epic. It’s happening at Co-op Live in Manchester. Leon Edwards is defending his welterweight title against Belal Muhammad. And in the co-main event, Tom Aspinall and Curtis Blaydes are throwing down for the interim heavyweight belt. We’re also looking at Arnold Allen vs. Giga Chikadze and a flyweight showdown between Muhammad Mokaev and Manel Kape. This card is stacked, folks.
