Bobby Green will endeavor to have the best two-week stretch of his MMA career in the main event of UFC Vegas 49 from the UFC's APEX Facility against Islam Makhachev.
The main event for the card was nearly ruined when Beneil Dariush was forced to withdraw from the card with a leg injury.
Fortunately, Green was willing to step up and take a short-notice fight just two weeks after beating Nasrat Haqparast on the undercard of UFC 271. If Green was able to pull off the win, it would be two victories in as many weeks and a huge boost to his profile in the division.
