Summary

Green Bounces Back

King Green, 39, of San Bernardino, debuted in the UFC lightweight division in 2013, becoming one of its longest-tenured fighters.
After a slump that yielded only one win in seven fights, he rebounded in 2020 with three victories before losing to Thiago Moisés, Mauricio Ruffy and Paddy Pimblett.
He secured stoppage wins over Lance Gibson Jr., Daniel Zellhuber and Jeremy Stephens, aiming for his first four-win streak since 2014.

History

Historical Context

On 12 November 1993, co-founders Rorion Gracie and Art Davie staged UFC 1 in Denver’s McNichols Sports Arena, an eight-fighter, no-holds-barred tournament that offered a $50,000 prize and introduced the octagonal cage. Though the debut drew attendance, its $86,000-plus pay-per-view buys proved the concept, prompting rule reforms, expansion and the move to Las Vegas, where the UFC now runs over 600 numbered events by 2026, including today’s UFC 329.
