KING GREEN

Hailing from San Bernardino, California, American lightweight King Green prepares out of Pinnacle MMA. Fighting from an orthodox stance, he is recognized for his defensive capabilities and striking. Over a lengthy career that includes stints in Strikeforce and Affliction, Green earned a championship in King of the Cage before entering the UFC's lightweight division in 2008.

Entering UFC Fight Night: Fiziev vs. Torres with a professional record of 16-14-1 and two no contests, Green is on a three-fight winning streak. After dropping back-to-back bouts to Paddy Pimblett and Maurício Ruffy, he rebounded by defeating Lance Gibson Jr. via split decision. Green then secured a technical knockout over Daniel Zellhuber before submitting Jeremy Stephens with a rear-naked choke in his most recent outing.
