King Green experienced a knockout defeat against Mauricio Ruffy at UFC 313 due to a spinning wheel kick. However, Green has stated he will continue his MMA career.
With 51 professional MMA fights, including 27 in the UFC, Green aimed to recover from a previous submission loss to Paddy Pimblett. This time, he faced an even faster defeat.
In an Instagram video, Green commented on the loss, saying: “This is the fight game, with wins and losses. Congratulations to Ruffy, I wish him success. Thanks to all my supporters.”
Prior to this fight, Green had a period of success between April 2023 and April 2024, with wins over Tony Ferguson, Grant Dawson, and Jim Miller, alongside a loss to Jalin Turner.
Currently, Green has won only three out of his last nine matches.
Green added, “Thank you for your support. We are not finished yet. I need more time to readjust to fighting, but I promise we will return.”
