Drakkar Klose didn’t take Bobby Green’s weigh-in antics, insults personally

MILWAUKEE – Bobby Green almost instigated a tussle at the weigh-ins and trash-talked Drakkar Klose in the octagon at UFC on FOX 31.

None of it bothered Klose (10-1-1 MMA, 4-1 UFC), who still considers Green (24-9-1 MMA, 5-4-1 UFC) a friend despite a heated confrontation at this past Saturday’s event.

“That’s what he does to hype himself up,” Klose said backstage at Fiserv Forum, which hosted the FS1-televised fight in Milwaukee. “He had me laughing a few times.”

Klose said Green called him an unflattering name during their fight, which went back and forth over three rounds. But the more his opponent talked, the more he took it as a sign his opponent was losing.

Green was heartbroken and shocked when judges declared a 29-28 decision for Klose. He later retired from competition, only to walk back his announcement.

Klose had nothing but good things to say about his opponent, with whom he shared a manager prior to the event. A “misunderstanding” put them in the octagon together, according to Klose, and there wasn’t much other choice than to take the fight.

“Bobby, he’s probably the toughest opponent I’ve faced so far,” Klose said. “I’m glad I can say I fought Bobby Green.”
