White replied:<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I do not disagree with you [perfect guy to fight for the BMF title]. I absolutely agree. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">White\u2019s response was met with a loud \u2018Let\u2019s go\u2019 from Green.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Check out Dana White\u2019s comments below:<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">King Green and Esteban Ribovics\u2019 Hilarious Exchange at UFC 332 presser<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">King Green and Esteban Ribovics went at it at the UFC 332 presser over their native languages.
