Man has been on the receiving end of some brutal beatdowns and has been either beaten or choked unconcious in his last 3 of 4

Not to mention these ones were pretty bad too.

Think he needs to hang em up or take a serious step down in competition.
 
Like many others who made it to the big leagues, he started out with a better finish rate than the latter half of his career. But indeed, a man who is equal parts outcome in his wins:
32
11
9
12

Though he's on the receiving end of some finishes, he isn't one dimensional (in his career).
Hope he doesn't go El Cucuy in his remaining bouts.

He was never really that good.

I think he overperformed in some of his fights. His style is just horrible for longevity. His hands down head movement style is starting to be his demise. Saw the same thing with Anderson. Tried to continue to use headmovement instead of blocking and was getting caught leaning back. I don't see him pulling himself out of this unless he's willing to fight older fighters. Michael Johnson could be a good next matchup.
 
To be fair he had a good run after he beat Lando, even his loss to Fiziev was a solid performance. He looked at his peak against Iaquinta and against Dober (until he didn't).

He still looks good against boxing centric strikers, but I suspect his chin has degraded quite a bit this past 18 months. He hit his tipping point, which isn't a surprise given he's approaching 40.
 
Like we’ve seen time and time again, reflexes and timing are the first things to decline as a fighter. Subsequently the guys who relied on those facets of their game find themselves getting slept regularly as they approach 40.

Green always was, and continues to be a lot of fun to watch over the years either in victory or defeat, so he’s still getting fights in the big leagues.
Him taking that Makachev fight on short notice was some gangsta shit.

Bobby Green was always an entertaining journeyman and yet he suddenly got an insane amount of hype during/after the Nasrat fight. I swear the announcers were talking about him like he was some UFC newcomer who was a new dangerous title contender lol he'd been in the UFC for nearly a decade at that point... I think we already had a pretty good idea of his abilities at that point.

This was all designed to make him look like a "big win" for Islam because the UFC was not taking chances risking a loss for Khabib's replacement on route to a title shot. As laughably padded Khabib's record is, Islam's road to a title shot was BAFFLING IMHO and Bobby Green somehow enjoyed a late career push as a result of that tune up fight. Islam has gone on to prove himself since but wow this was a silly time period.

It sucks that age has caught up to him but IMHO these losses were all extremely possible in his prime as well. Very entertaining fighter but a total journeyman who should definitely retire

Unfortunately with that style it's almost guaranteed he goes El Cucuy if he keeps on fighting good competition.

He believes his stand up is better than it actually is. In over 12 years he has only had 3 TKOs in the UFC and been KO'd like twice as many times. He is a perfect example that fighting hands down is completely stupid.

He'd surprise you once in a while like giving Fiziev all he could handle. He's probably too up there in age for that now though.
 
Turner was hitting him like he wanted to murder him... pretty brutal.
