Bobby Green on Bully Beatdown

Bobby Green is a colorful character in the MMA universe, once having come out dressed as Santa Claus for his fight with Charles "Krazy Horse" Bennett. He also has lost a brother to gang violence, and organized an anti-violence march.

Here is one of the bigger beatdowns, and one of the only "matches" never to make it into the second round. His opponent was a pudgy white rapper named Evermont. Was Bully Beatdown an MMA show? Not really, the matches had one round of grappling, one of kickboxing. Were they hilarious? Almost 100% of the time.

Green, a King of the Cage champion, has pushed his MMA record to 23-5 after defeating Josh Thomson in a close split decision. He next fights Edson Barboza at UFN 57.
