Tony Ferguson suffered his sixth straight loss at UFC 291, and in a way no one would expect after Bobby Green choked him unconscious.
Green secured an arm-triangle choke at the 4:54 mark of the third round, just six seconds shy of a fight he was winning in a lopsided manner as Ferguson failed to match his striking output or pose a submission threat.
For Green, it was a big feather in his cap. For Ferguson, it was another sign that the one-time interim lightweight champ’s best days are behind him.
Here’s what fighters had to say about the UFC 291 main card bout between Tony Ferguson and Bobby Green.

As much fun as Prime Ferg was to watch he really needs to hang it up and find something else he wants to do in life

Wow! Thought it was going to a decision but Green pushes on the ground to finish by head and arm choke. Impressive to do that Tony #UFC291
