Scouser Science? Bobby Green name change proves ‘CTE is real’ per UFC 304 foe Paddy Pimblett

Welcome to Midnight Mania!

The federal government may have accepted Bobby Green’s name change, but his UFC 304 opponent Paddy Pimblett won’t follow suit. Pimblett doesn’t care that Green’s longtime moniker “King” is now his legal name. In fact, he thinks it’s a sign of mental decline following a couple bad knockout losses in recent years.

“No, his name is Bobby, lad,” Pimblett explained to MMA Junkie. “He was born Bobby, he was Christened Bobby, his mom and daddy call him Bobby. His name is Bobby. … The fact that he’s changed his name at nearly 40 years of age shows that CTE is real.”

Continuing, he stated that he believed the previous injuries still had an impact on him. This was evident when he took a few hits from Jim Miller, who is not known for his powerful punches. According to him, it seems that his ability to take punches has diminished. It’s not just the incident with Jalin Turner, but he was also knocked out by Drew Dober a few months prior to that.

The Dober knockout actually happened about a year prior to Green’s loss to Turner, but nobody can deny that the “Tarantula” dropped a hellish amount of damage on Green. It will be interesting to see if Pimblett tries to take advantage of Green’s potentially declined durability, however, because Green is historically rather difficult to drag to the floor.

UFC 304 is scheduled to go down in just a couple weeks on July 27 from Manchester, England, and the Lightweight contest is situated prominently on the main card. It’s an important fight for Pimblett, who will attempt to break into the 155-pound rankings by taking out No. 15-ranked Green and extending his UFC win streak to six. King, meanwhile, has won three of his last four bouts, most recently bloodying up Jim Miller in a decisive victory.

In every sense, Alex Pereira proved himself to be a shrewd veteran by cleverly acquiring an additional $253k through some cunning tactics.

I fully support this type of slap fight.

For years, Conor McGregor has consistently been provoking Khabib with his constant chirping, yet it’s difficult for me to recall when the trash talk was reciprocated in the opposite direction.

Brendan Allen and Nassourdine Imavov, two promising Middleweight contenders, are frequently underrated. However, the victor of their upcoming match deserves serious consideration for a title shot.

Make sure to tune in to the exciting matchup between Cory Sandhagen and Umar Nurmagomedov at the appropriate time in your local area.

Sean O’Malley’s abundance of height-based jokes might lead you to believe he’s anything but a Bantamweight.

Slips, rips, and KO clips

Beautiful combination to finish the fight.

The wrestling exchanges exhibit an impressive demonstration of monstrous physical strength.

Although spinning to reset one’s stance after a kick is a well-known strategy, I have never witnessed someone perform a spin after a failed shin-to-shin kick.
