While many found Bobby
Green’s walkout music against Grant
Dawson cool, Jamahal
Hill wasn’t one of them.

Green (31-15) knocked out Dawson in hardly over half a minute in
the main event at
UFC Fight Night 229 in October 2023. “King” walked out to the
song “SkeeYee” by rapper Janae Nierah Wherry aka “Sexyy Red.” Hill
(12-1), who is seemingly close to Green, made no secret of his
dislike for the latter’s choice of the walkout music. Green further
revealed that “Sweet Dreams” continues to troll him every time they
meet.
“Hell no, hell no. Jamahal Hill yelled at me and won’t stop yelling
at me about that to this day,” Green said at UFC 300 media day.
“That’s my big dawg and everytime we run into each other [he’s]
like, ‘Bro, you came out to Sexyy Red. What the f*ck are you doing
bro, what the f*ck are you doing?’ When everyone else is like, ‘Oh
it was cool, it was cool,’ Jamahal is going to be the guy that
tells me like, ‘Nah bro, nah.’ He’s always on the other side of
everything else, he’s gonna give me the straight raw truth, ‘You
came out to a stripper bro.’ So nah, I won’t be doing that. I
always want to do something new every time.”
Green will take on Jim Miller in
a lightweight bout (37-17) on the UFC
300 preliminary card at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on April
12. The bill will be headlined by Hill challenging Alex
Pereira (9-2) for the light heavyweight crown. According to
Green, while Pereira has a lot of experience fighting strikers,
Hill is not a conventional striker.
“That’s my dawg [Jamahal]. I’ve been getting a lot of flak you know
for saying I’m riding with him and stuff. But I ride with my ni**as
and I stay true to myself more than anything else. I think he’s
gonna put Alex [Pereira] out,” said Green. “There’s something weird
about Jamahal that people don’t understand. And I watched him and
I’m like, the way he’s throwing his strikes, the way he comes and
covers distance, if you’re not ready, you’ll go to sleep, ask
Johnny
Walker, he wasn’t ready for that shot. He [Hill] put a nasty
beating on Glover [Teixeira], he just took so much life off of
Glover; that guy is nasty. The way he does certain things, I think
people aren’t prepared for it. Like Pereira’s been fighting the
standard striker type of guys and don’t get me wrong, I love
Pereira too, he fu*king sick, nothing but love, I love Glover
really… Even though I have a little of bias towards my dawg, but
I’m telling you none of those people that he dropped, they had no
idea where they were getting hit from.”
