Background

Coming from an athletic family, Green played football while attending Warren High School and had a boxing bag in his backyard where his father taught him to box.[4] He would eventually join a gym after his friend suggested they try together and after two months had his first amateur bout. He would win his next 6 amateur bouts before going pro because of lack of opponents on the amateur scene.[5]

Green attended California State University, Long Beach, where he earned his bachelor's degree in business despite starting out in the pre-med program.[6][7]

Mixed martial arts career

Early career

Having his debut in 2016, he compiled a 9–2 record before the UFC fighting mostly in California, winning the CXF 160 lb Championship in his last bout before his short notice bout in the UFC. He made 3 appearances in Bellator MMA, winning his first appearance at Bellator 160 against Alex Trinidad via second-round TKO, losing at Bellator 170 against fellow future UFC fighter Jalin Turner 36 seconds into the bout, and finally winning via second round rear-naked choke against Chris Padilla at Bellator 192.[8][9][10]

Green, replacing Kevin Holland, faced Daniel Rodriguez on May 30, 2020, at UFC Fight Night: Woodley vs. Burns.[11] Green lost the fight via unanimous decision.[12]

Green was scheduled to face Dwight Grant on October 23, 2021, at UFC Fight Night 196.[13] However, Green was removed from the pairing on 23 September for undisclosed reasons and replaced by Francisco Trinaldo.[14]

Green was scheduled to face Jake Matthews, at UFC on ABC 4 on May 13, 2023.[20] However, Matthews withdrew from the bout due to injury and was replaced by Bryan Battle.[21] At the weigh-ins, Battle weighed in at 173 pounds, two pounds over the welterweight non-title fight limit. The bout proceeded at catchweight and Battle was fined a percentage of his purse, which went to Green.[22] Green lost the bout via knockout just 14 seconds into the bout.[23]
