Oh, the drama and the beats of MMA walkouts, right? Bobby Green’s choice of walkout music at UFC Fight Night 229? It got people talking. He strutted out to “SkeeYee” by Janae Nierah Wherry, aka “Sexyy Red.” Not everyone was feeling it, especially Jamahal Hill.
Hill, close to Green, didn’t hold back his thoughts. He’s been vocal, to say the least. At UFC 300’s media day, Green shared, “Hell no, hell no. Jamahal Hill yelled at me and won’t stop yelling at me about that to this day.” Imagine that. Your big dawg, constantly on your case for your music taste. Hill’s like that brutally honest friend. “You came out to a stripper bro,” he’d say. Green’s takeaway? Time for something new each fight.
Switching gears, Green’s next fight is against Jim Miller at UFC 300. It’s happening in Las Vegas at the T-Mobile Arena. This one’s on the prelims, but the main event? That’s Hill going up against Alex Pereira for the light heavyweight title. Green’s got thoughts on that too.
He’s all in on Hill. Despite the flak for his loyalty, Green’s sticking by his side. “I ride with my ni**as,” he declared. He sees something in Hill that others might miss. A unique approach to striking, a way of covering distance that could catch Pereira off guard. Green’s seen it firsthand. Just ask Johnny Walker or Glover Teixeira, victims of Hill’s prowess.
Green respects Pereira, admires the guy. But his allegiance? It’s with Hill. “There’s something weird about Jamahal,” he mused. It’s that unpredictability, that element of surprise that Green believes will tip the scales in Hill’s favor. Despite his love for the sport and its fighters, Green’s betting on Hill to shock the world. And honestly, in the unpredictable world of MMA, who can say he’s wrong?
