Kicking off the main card tonight at UFC 313 is a fight that promises to produce fireworks. The always entertaining King Green (32-16-1) will look to stop the hype train of Mauricio Ruffy (11-1).
King Green was competing in his 50th professional fight tonight and he was looking to bounce back while derailing the Ruffy hype train. The last time we saw Green was last summer when he was submitted by Paddy Pimblett. Prior to that, he dominated Jim Miller at UFC 300.
Standing across from him tonight was Fighting Nerd’s Mauricio Ruffy. After earning a contract on The Contender Series, the flashy striker entered the octagon tonight 2-0 in the promotion. He was looking to make a statement over the veteran King Green tonight.
