Bobby Green vs. Grant Dawson: Did Tony Ferguson accuse 'King' of intentionally eye-poking him?

Yes, Tony Ferguson accused Bobby Green of intentionally poking him in the eye during their fight to impair his vision. Despite the fact that it was ruled as accidental by the referee. Ferguson wasn't too pleased with it and took to Instagram to publicly demean his victory.

Responding to the accusations made by Tony Ferguson, Bobby Green clapped back at the UFC veteran and asked him to not resort to excuses during an appearance on The MMA Hour. He said:

“Tony said I intentionally poked him, and that threw his momentum off. From there, the fight just went my way. I disagree with that, I thought I was doing so much more than that the entire fight… If you argue with a crazy man, you’re probably crazy. I’m not going to argue with him.”

He added:

"Listen bro I got nothing but love for you. I hope that you don't take any of this personally. It's the fight game. I would never try to do something dirty to a legend. I thought it was going to be a dope classic. But, if it's tainted for him like that in his head, it sucks... All of a sudden we need an excuse for why things happen."
