UFC 271 Results: Bobby Green slays Nasrat Haqparast using a nasty striking display to take home unanimous victory

Bobby Green gave one of the best performances to-date as he defeated Nasrat Haqparast in a brutal striking show to kick-off UFC 271 pay per-view.

Green was surrounded by a cheering Houston crowd, and looked great while constantly spewing Haqparast straight punches at the crowd. He could barely avoid them for three rounds. Green did not slow down, and he kept going at the same speed for 15minutes before being unanimously voted in.

All three judges gave Green the fight with 30-27 scores as he picks up his second win in a row while moving to 5-2 in his past seven bouts.

“Anyone up there that’s been hurt, anyone who’s been forgotten about, they turn their backs on you. “Do this for me. Put your middle fingers in air. Tell them I said f*cking them!” Green shouted, before he left the octagon.

The lightweights traded strikes in the first round. It was a pair eye pokes that caused the fight to be halted on two occasions. Green and Haqparast needed a break for their bodies. After a stern warning from the referee, Green showed incredibly quick hands with a nasty jab that kept throwing in succession.

Green was also showing strong defense and he ducked and dodged out of the way from most of Haqparast’s biggest shots while still chipping away at him with those straight punches. By the start of the second round, Haqparast was really showing the damage done on his face after eating so many jabs down the middle.

Although Green was not doing much, he was very technically proficient with his punches and made Haqparast pay when he became too aggressive. Harqparast didn’t stop trying, but it was hard to resist. He would often eat two or three shots at a time for his troubles.

To his credit, Haqparast was still coming after Green with big looping punches as he sought to even the score or earn a knockout but he just couldn’t land anything flush. Green was so slick while moving out of the way of the punches and the delivering rapid-fire shots that kept tagging Haqparast.

When the final horn sounded, Green looked like he was ready to go for another 10 rounds while Haqparast was covered in cuts and blood from a difficult night at the office.

Always a tough out at 155 pounds, Green has really enjoyed his resurgence lately while getting better with each passing fight in the octagon.
