King Green
Career overview
King Green, a 37-year-old American orthodox fighter with a 35-17-1 record (1 NC), has built a career as a versatile lightweight capable of competing across multiple dimensions. Over his tenure, Green has averaged 6.46 strikes landed per minute with 53% striking accuracy while maintaining solid defensive metrics at 62% strike defense, indicating a measured offensive approach paired with disciplined footwork.
His grappling resume shows 1.33 takedowns per 15 minutes at 43% accuracy and 72% takedown defense, suggesting he operates primarily as a striker who can defend the wrestling but doesn't actively pursue ground control. With a knockout score of 6.7 and submission average of 0.3 per 15 minutes, Green demonstrates occasional finishing ability rather than relying on submissions as a primary weapon.
Recent performances have been mixed: he secured a stunning first-round knockout of Grant Dawson in October 2023, decisively outpointed Alan Patrick in 2020, but suffered consecutive decision losses to Thiago Moises and Francisco Trinaldo. At this stage of his career with a 4-3 record in his last eight fights, Green remains a veteran presence in a crowded lightweight division but faces limited runway for title contention.
