Arman Tsarukyan and Bobby Green are both competing this Saturday Night at UFC Fight Night Austin, but not against each other.
However, it appears they had a fight before their fights at the hotel the UFC is using to house the fighters before UFC Austin.
Green, in a series of videos posted on Instagram (via MMA Fighting), shows Green in a confrontation with a group of men and Tsarukyan is allegedly part of the group. Green tagged Tsarukyan in the video and even punched one of the men in the group, although that person’s identity is not known at this time.
The lightweight star also said the following in the video (transcript via Steven Marrocco of MMA Fighting):
“Hey, I won’t be starting nothing with nobody, but if you start that s*** with me, I’m definitely gonna finish it. It’s just starting, might go to jail tonight. F*** around playing with me.
“So this b******* ran up on me and s*** trying to start that s***. He didn’t know I was gonna finish s***. I socked one of his homies. Stop playing with me, bro.
“I need somebody else too to tell me who that is in that video. I don’t know who the f*** he is. But he was acting super tough when they ran up on me by myself ... and they was acting all that tough. As soon as I ran into the again with my n*****, then he was, ‘Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.’ You started this s*** and then as soon as security come and all that s***, now you wanna act tough again.”
MMA Fighting did contact the UFC about the matter and the UFC is investigating the incident.
The Iridium Sports Agency, which represents Green, issued the following statement on the matter on X:

The issues between the two allegedly started earlier this month when Green revealed that he had turned down a fight with Tsarukyan, alleging that Tsarukyan is a boring fighter.
Update: Tsarukyan has how posted his own video of the altercation with Green on Youtube:
