McKinney is known for putting it all on the line in the first few minutes of his fights, whereas Green's style tends to focus on trash talk as he attempts to get into the head of his opponents.

In a recent interview, McKinney had the following to say about both the fight coming together and Green possibly utilizing his trash talk tactics.

McKinney's trash talk warning to Green

“I posted this funny video on my Instagram calling him out, and then he's like, ‘Man, let's not take each other's shine,’†McKinney said during Wednesday's UFC 329 pre-fight news conference. “(He was) pretty much saying we're Black, we're supposed to be brothers, and I was like, ‘You know what? I'll take the post down.' I was like, ‘You're right.' We only really hung out once when I was managed by Iridium. So, he comes down, drives two hours, we hung out a little bit, and that was pretty much it.

“Then literally a week later, the UFC contacted my manager and they were like, ‘You want to fight Bobby Green on a Conor McGregor card?' I sent him a message. I was like, if it were up to you, what do you think? I said to me, I really can't say no. This is something all fighters dreamed of. We grew up watching Conor McGregor. Being a fan and being able to fight on his card is something you can't turn down.â€

“I hope he talks so he can get that jaw twisted,†McKinney said. “So yeah, talk. It's going to hurt real bad when I hit you in your mouth and you're talking.â€

Jake Paul calls out Dana White over Zuffa Boxing’s sanctioning shift

Jake Paul calls out Dana White over Zuffa Boxing’s sanctioning shift
Jake
Paul has called out Dana
White over his softened stance on boxing's traditional
organizations.

Ahead of Zuffa Boxing’s launch in 2025, White repeatedly stated
that the promotion had no interest in doing business with the WBA,
WBC, IBF or WBO. However, following Zuffa Boxing 9, the promotion's
founder acknowledged that they would work with the aforementioned
organizations depending on the circumstances, prompting a reaction
from Paul on social media.

IBF and WBO partnerships

When asked about working with the major sanctioning bodies at the
recent Zuffa Boxing presser, White claimed that he's willing to do
so for certain boxers.

“On a case-by-case basis, trying to figure out what the fighters
want and what their goals are, we will try to figure out whatever
we can do to make those fights happen,†the
Ultimate Fighting Championship CEO said.

This drew an immediate response from Paul, who highlighted the
apparent shift in White’s position.

“They went from shi*ting on all of the boxing sanctioning bodies
and how they need to get rid of them for the good of boxing to now
this,†Paul wrote on X. “Truth is we need to further align
promoters and the sanctioning bodies to create the biggest
opportunities for boxers. That should be the goal. More
transparency, more collaboration and more big fights.â€

The change comes as Zuffa Boxing continues to expand its roster
with signings such as Jai Opetaia, Conor Benn and Shakur Stevenson,
while also co-promoting the welterweight title bout between Ryan
Garcia and Benn on Sept. 19 in Las Vegas.

Dan Hooker vows to ruin Salahdine Parnasse’s UFC debut at UFC Paris
Dan
Hooker is eager to “ruin†Salahdine
Parnasse's
Ultimate Fighting Championship debut.

The longtime UFC lightweight will square off against the former
two-division
KSW champion in the
UFC Paris main event on Sept. 5 at Accor Arena. While the
French standout looks to announce himself on the sport’s biggest
stage, Hooker plans to silence the home crowd.

Paris main event

Hooker has revealed that the bout announcement was quickly followed
by a barrage of hostile messages from Parnasse’s supporters,
including death threats.

“The death threats have been outrageous,†Hooker told Submission
Radio. “I didn't get it when I fought [Benoit St.
Denis]. French people have been speaking French and telling me
I'm going to die and telling me they're going to kill me… Whoever
this c*nt's fans are, they're outrageous. It's going to feel pretty
sweet to shut this kid's lights out and making these guys eat their
words.â€

The Kiwi added that he's excited at the opportunity to upset the
French crowd by derailing Parnasse’s hype train.

“I'm here to ruin hopes and dreams,†Hooker said. “This kid wants
to come in, make a name for himself, crack the Top 10; he wants to
be a superstar. Well, I'm going to fly to France, and I'm going to
f*ck everyone's night up. That is my plan.â€

Parnasse (23-2) previously turned down the UFC and fought on the
first-ever MMA event on Netflix under the
Most Valuable Promotions banner. The UFC then returned with a
far better offer, hence the main event slot and ranked opponent in
Hooker (24-14).

Both Dvalishvili vs. Cejudo and Muhammad vs. Covington will be
contested for crossover championships, a division created to allow

Covington became the inaugural cruiserweight crossover champion

officials have now pushed it back to the September event.

will crown the inaugural lightweight crossover champion. RAF 12
will also feature a stacked undercard, including Jordan Burroughs
vs. Sean
Brady, Bo Nickal vs.
Max McEnelly and Tyron
Woodley vs. Joaquin
Buckley.

A catchweight matchup between social media personalities Larry
Wheels and Mike Holston, better known as “The Real Tarzann,” has
also been added to the RAF 13 lineup.

Championship bouts include Evan Wick vs. Jason Nolf for the RAF
middleweight title, David Carr vs. Tajmuraz Salkazanov for the
welterweight crown and Kennedy Blades vs. Diana
Avsaragova for the women’s middleweight belt. Elsewhere,
