A.J Green and Mike Evans channelled their inner UFC persona’s
A.J Green and Mike Evans have stolen the headlines during today’s NFL action for delivering brutal cheap shots to unsuspecting opponents.
NFL
Don't miss out on the headlines from NFL. Followed categories will be added to My News.
CINICINATTI Bengals wide receiver A.J. Green must have sat down yesterday and tuned into the Michael Bisping-Georges St-Pierre fight at UFC 217.
Against the Jacksonville Jaguars today he pulled of his best impression of GSP after cornerback Jalen Ramsey had clearly got under his skin.
Just before halftime, after plenty of trash talk between the two to start the game, Ramsey gave Green a little shove and that’s when things turned ugly.
Retaliating with a rear naked choke before throwing Ramsey to the ground and then throwing several punches, one of which landed.
Now why you would punch an NFL helmet is another question, but the actions from Green were a horrible look for the star player.

Both players were ejected from the game after the incident was reviewed, the altercation sent social media into meltdown with many questioning why both had been thrown out.
AJ Green put a dude in a CHOKE HOLD!

This is insane. Also...yes, Ramsey knocked down Green. But there shouldâve been only 1 ejection: AJ Green. Thatâs so dirty. https://t.co/Osls6oryD3

Iâm wondering why Ramsey was ejected. For being put in a headlock, body slammed and punched? Is there a part I didnât see?

And we really weren’t kidding about this GSP impersonation, you could play spot the difference with these pictures but that would be a waste of time.
Because there are no differences here.

NOT WANTING TO BE UPSTAGED
TAMPA Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans tried his best to steal the limelight from A.J Green during his teams loss to the New Orleans Saints.
With the Saints ahead 30-3 in the third quarter, Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston got stuck into Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore.
As the trash talking and shoving between the two began to escalate, Evans came out of nowhere to blindside Lattimore with a huge hit to his back.
A scuffle broke out straight after as Saints players came in to remonstrate with Evans for the blatant cheap shot.

Somehow, despite the game being all but over, Evans wasn’t ejected from the contest which caught not only the eye of social media but also Saints coach Sean Payton.

Finally seeing the Mike Evans replay. If you canât get ejected for that, then ejections shouldnât exist.

Mike Evans not ejected. Jalen Ramsey ejected. That donât make no sense.
