On Friday night, lightweight Jacob Volkmann (Pictured) announced he will welcome Bobby Green to the big leagues at UFC 156.
“It’s official. I’m fighting Bobby Green Feb 2nd on UFC 156,” Volkmann tweeted. “Vegas anyone?”
Volkmann is victorious in six of his last seven bouts. “Christmas” as last seen submitting Shane Roller in October.
Green premieres in the Octagon on the strength of a four-fight winning streak. He posted a decision over Matt Ricehouse in his most recent outing.
