Paddy Pimblett thinks Bobby Green will never be able to fully recover from his controversial stoppage loss to Jalin Turner in December, and that’s ultimately going to play to his advantage at UFC 304 . Green was the victim of a careless late stoppage from referee Kerry Hatley in his UFC on ESPN 52 bout with Turner in which he took multiple unnecessary blows while already unconscious. He bounced back just a few months later at UFC 300, though, defeating Jim Miller by unanimous decision to set up the July 27 showdown with Pimblett at RAC Arena in Manchester, England (ESPN+ pay-per-view, ESPN, ESPN+). Pimblett (21-3 MMA, 5-0 UFC) vividly remembers watching live as Green (32-15-1 MMA, 13-10-1 UFC) was battered by Turner. He disliked the stoppage as much as anyone, and in studying Green in advance of UFC 304, he’s concluded that result did irreparable damage to Green’s durability.
