Taking on Ferreira
Green will face Carlos Diego Ferreira in a lightweight bout at UFC 319 on Aug. 16, per Marcel Dorff of Eurosport.nl.
ANALYSIS
Green has dropped his last two fights, most recently being the victim of a highlight-reel KO at the hands (or more accurately the feet) of Mauricio Ruffy, who disposed of him with a spinning heel kick in Round 1. He'll look to avoid losing a third-straight fight, which would bring his record to an even .500 in the UFC.

Victim of highlight reel KO
Green lost to Mauricio Ruffy via KO (kick) at 2:07 of Round 1 at UFC 313 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
ANALYSIS
Green is a respected veteran with 50-plus pro fights under his belt. There's some gas left in the tank, but at age 38, the UFC simply cannot be matching him up against stone-cold killers such as Ruffy. Green is known to keep his hands down, and Ruffy responded with a head kick that will be in the conversation for Knockout of the Year when 2025 comes to an end. The setback dropped Bobby to 1-3 in his past four fights dating back to December 2023, with all three defeats coming via stoppage. Something is going to have to give moving forward.

ANALYSIS
Green, who was most recently submitted by Paddy Pimblett at UFC 304, will look to get back on track against Mauricio Ruffy in March. The 38-year-old American fighter is now 13-11-1 in a storied UFC career.

Goes to sleep in Manchester
Green lost to Paddy Pimblett via technical submission (triangle choke) at 3:22 of Round 1 at UFC 304 on Saturday in Manchester, England.
ANALYSIS
Green isn't really a contender at 37 years of age and 50 professional fights into his career, but he still needs to put forth a better effort than this in such a notable spot. King and Paddy fought to even terms on the feet for a few minutes, at which point Green shot for a takedown. He ended up fighting off three different submission attempts before finally going to sleep. Pimblett deserves credit for doing a brilliant job on the mat, but Green needs to be smarter. He played right into Paddy's hands and paid for it. King has been a .500 favorite for the better part of the past four years, and that should continue moving forward.
