Bobby Green calls for Michael Chandler fight, with both men beaten by Paddy Pimblett
Green's four-fight winning run ended against Esteban Ribovics at UFC 332 this month, while Chandler has lost his last three fights.
Bobby Green, who now fights as King Green, has named Michael Chandler as the opponent he wants next. Asked on Full Send MMA who he would like to fight next, Green said: "I was thinking about Michael Chandler." He added: "I'd like to fight somebody like Chandler." No fight between the two lightweights has been booked.
Both men have lost to Liverpool's Paddy Pimblett. Pimblett submitted Green with a triangle choke in the first round at UFC 304 in Manchester in July 2024, and stopped Chandler in the third round at UFC 314 in April 2025. Mauricio Ruffy has also stopped both of them in the first round.
Green won four fights in a row after his defeat to Ruffy at UFC 313, before Ribovics stopped him in the first round at UFC 332. Chandler's three straight defeats are to Charles Oliveira, Pimblett and Ruffy, who beat him at UFC Freedom 250 in June.
