Following Bobby Green’s accusations that Donald Cerrone directed racist comments towards him at a recent UFC Fan Expo, it hasn’t taken the lightweight contender long to respond.

On Monday, Green appeared on the latest edition of “The MMA Hour”, and claimed that Cerrone made racist comments when the two interacted not long ago. In addition, Green alleged that Cerrone acted inappropriately towards women fans at the aforementioned Expo.

Later on Monday, the following tweets appeared on Cerrone’s Twitter feed, denying Green’s allegations.
