After video of an altercation between Bobby Green and Arman Tsarukyan emerged earlier this week, one thing was clear: there was no love lost between the parties.
Now, new video footage of a second, apparently related incident best described as a melee has emerged, showing Green going on the offensive.
The video clip, just shy of a minute in length, was posted to social media by “The MMA Fortune Teller,” though it appears to have originally been streamed by Green’s camp. While the initial confrontation had Arman Tsarukyan approaching Green with his team behind him, eventually grabbing Green by the throat, this new footage has Green approaching Tsarukyan’s camp — apparently with revenge in mind.

UFC athlete Phil Rowe can be seen trying to play peacemaker, efforts that ultimately proved futile. An unknown member of Tsarukyan’s camp also attempts a flying kick aimed at Green, though he misses and sprints off.
“You’re gonna get f*cked up, that’s what’s up,” Green can be heard hollering at Tsarukyan. “Chaos” might be the best way to describe the scene.
Though it’s unclear when the video was shot, the confrontation appears to have come some time after the pair’s initial incident on Wednesday. The UFC has remained mum on the incident, and for good reason: Tsarukyan headlines UFC Austin opposite Beneil Dariush, while Green features in the co-main event, facing Jalin Turner.
Both fighters compete in the lightweight division, so it’s not unthinkable that this feud could end up in a fight inside the cage — where fighting should stay, frankly.
The beef appears to stem from comments that Green made about Tsarukyan, calling his fights “boring.” Bobby Green addressed that on his Instagram Story earlier in the week, posting an audio clip stating “All of this just because I said his fight was boring? Whoopty-f*cking-doo.”
Tsarukyan for his part has stayed silent about the incident heading into UFC Austin, though the post-fight press conference will likely be something to keep an eye on.
