Does Bobby Green get the winner of Gaethje/Oliveira if he beats Islam?

if he wins his fight on short notice, against the guy a lot of people have already dubbed king of the division, give him whatever fight he wants.
 
If he wins, Dana will be like “good job kid, here’s $50k”

Then dismiss him…
They wont dismiss him. Theyll make the best of a bad situation and try to turn in into something.
 
It'll be either him or Dariush. I'd rather see Bobby fight for the title...
 
it's a win win situation for him. no one expects him to win anyway
Still he's riding some momentum after his recent win. Him accepting the fight says a lot about his fight mentality. Not many in his place would do it. So props to him for that. It's a big risk but also a big reward if he can pull it off.

Agreed.

If Green steps in short notice, even at catchweight, and beats Islam, he should get the winner of Oliviera vs Gaethje.

Dariush would be the only guy with a case for the title shot, but given that Green is replacing him on short notice that's a strong argument in Green's favor.

Poirier, Chandler, Islam, and the loser of Oliviera vs Gaethje will have had their shots.

Of course, there's the risk that Oliviera vs Gaethje is so contested that a rematch is in order. But I have a feeling that that fight will not last 5 rounds.

I LOVE Lightweight. It is the weight class that has almost never disappoints in terms of title fights. Same with Featherweight.
 
No.even if he wins he would have to have atleast one more fight before a title shot.he reminds me of masvidal.has been around forever and didn't get the nod in a couple split decisions I felt should have went his way and would have put his career on a different path. He really shit the bed against porier lol but he is super tough and durable.im rooting for him to shock the world but really doubt he pulls this off.if he beats Islam it will be the best move he ever made and if he loses still the best move he could've made.ufc show him mad love for a short notice fight against a guy who no one wants to fight
 
This is starting to look ugly already. Dariush is out and they're giving Makhachev a 35 year-old guy with no grappling or time to prepare. Hooker had 1 month to prepare, this time it's 2 weeks. Sounds like another paper champion in the making.
 
he won't beat islam but will get paid - good for him for stepping up
Dude I was thinking the same thing. That's why I'm pulling for Bobby Green even tho it's a far stretch, but it's the fight game anything can happen in a fight with one punch or kick.
 
Bobby's a fun fighter and should be utilised as such.

He can win fun striking battles, but his long, storied record tells you when he faces a legit, well-rounded opponent, he loses.

Who's Green's best win? It might be Josh Thomson...
