Popular UFC fighter Bobby Green hasn’t fought in the Octagon in nearly a year, and for good reasons.

After having his 8-fight win streak snapped by Edson Barboza, Green underwent surgery to repair a torn quad. During his recovery Green underwent surgery after tearing his ACL and lateral meniscus.

In addition to having to overcome physical troubles, Green’s younger brother was killed in 2014 in addition to his older brother being shot. As if that wasn’t enough for the 29 year old fighter, a friend who Green was close to was killed.

After taking time away to heal from surgeries and focus on his personal life, Green took to Instagram to let fans know, he is BACK!

Dear world…. Been out for a minute due to some personal things I was going through. My little brother passed away and I just needed to get off everything for a while. I'M BACK THOUGH!!!
