Paul Felder issued a public apology to Bobby Green on Monday after he was accused of biased commentary at UFC Fight Night 222.
Felder was cageside to call Green’s (29-4-1 MMA, 10-9-1 UFC) fight with Jared Gordon (19-6 MMA, 7-5 UFC) this past Saturday at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, which was ruled a no contest due to an accidental clash of heads.
The Nevada Athletic Commission reviewed the footage of the fight-ending sequence in which Gordon went down after clashing heads with Green, who followed up with ground-and-pound to score the stoppage. Felder was pretty animated by what happened to his good friend, Gordon, which angered Green.
“When we see each other, you know what time it is too,” Green said on “The MMA Hour,” speaking directly to Felder. “We’re going to have some words when I see him. I’m gonna wait until we see each other face to face. When we see each other, he knows what time it is too. It’s just like, bro, stop with all that emotional bullsh*t.
“He was over there, ‘Come on!’ I’m like, bro, come on now, bro. Like, do your f*cking job, and then I heard him say that. They told him to calm down. He was too emotional. Do your f*cking job. I felt like he was d*ckriding because he was his homie. He lived with this dude or some sh*t. Bro, don’t d*ckride. Keep that sh*t straight up.”
Felder responded to Green and apologized on social media for overreacting in the moment.
“I understand the criticism,” Felder said. “I got emotional. It was a friend. But it was also a pretty awful clash of heads that almost resulted in a TKO. I respect Green as a fighter. I do apologize for letting my emotions into play, but there is no need for threats. You don’t have to like me.”
