The goal of every one in the UFC of course is to work towards a number one contendership and then take the UFC title from the champion. But for lightweight Bobby Green the title would be nice, but more important, he’s working to secure a future for himself and son:

As I mentioned, Green has a different motive from most that enter the Octagon. He is not fighting for championship gold, instead he is fighting to put a roof over his son’s head.

For me I feel like getting the number of fights up to get my cheque higher. I’m trying to get enough money to purchase a house, have my house paid off and have some money for my account. That’s my goal – to make sure my son has a roof over his head.

If that is obtained, then the next logical goal will be the title. Well, Green is so level-headed that if that happens it happens; he is just happy to be fighting for the UFC.

Possibly if that comes along with it, that’s cool. I’m just blessed to be here as it is, I never thought I’d be beating top-10 guys in the world and stuff. One day I can tell my son that – If that happens cool, if not, as long as I can keep trying to press towards the title.
