Bobby Green was not a fan of Paul Felder’s commentary.
At UFC Vegas 71, Green was taking on Jared Gordon as both were looking to get back into the win column. It was an intriguing matchup and in the first round, Green dropped Gordon and then put him out cold with heavy ground strikes.
Yet, after the fight was stopped, it was revealed it was a headbutt that dropped Gordon meaning the fight was a No Contest. During that, Felder was freaking out – and after the fight ended – was more angry that the ref never saw the headbutt.
Now, following the scrap being called a No Contest, Green blasted Felder for his emotional commentary.
What Did Bobby Green Tell Paul Felder?
“When we see each other, you know what time it is too,” Green said Monday on The MMA Hour. “We’re going to have some words when I see him. I’m gonna wait until we see each other face-to-face. When we see each other, he knows what time it is too. It’s just like, bro, stop with all that emotional bulls***. He was over there, ‘Come on!’ I’m like, bro, come on now, bro, like do your f****** job, and then I heard him say that, [the UFC] told him to calm down.”
“He was too emotional. Do your f****** job. And secondly, I felt like he was d***-riding, because [Gordon is] his homie, he lived with this dude and s***. Like, bro, don’t d***-ride? Keep that s*** straight up.”
After Bobby Green’s comments, Paul Felder responded on social media and admits he did get too emotional. He also says he is looking forward to the talk with Green whenever the two see each other next.

I understand the criticism. I got emotional. It was a friend. But it was also a pretty awful clash of heads that almost resulted in a TKO.I respect green as a fighter. I do apologize for letting my emotions into play, but there is no need for threatsYou don’t have to like me 👊🏻
