The loss shocked the 50-fight veteran whose aim was to beat Paddy Pimblett, but he took it gracefully. The fighter shared his thoughts on the bout in public comment.
“What a day,” Green said in an Instagram story. “Thank you, guys, for checking in on me. I’m OK, I guess. Shit happens. Feel like I slipped into some shit, and it just went all went the perfect way. I had a bad night. No excuses. Shit happens.
“I live by a code: Kill or be killed. Today, I got killed. Let the ridicule begin. I know what comes with this. You guys can talk your shit. I know what comes with this.”
Green is an expert grappler, and many expected him to take the fight to the floor. However, he remained on his feet and soon went in for a takedown in the first round. This move inevitably led to his downfall, as he was quickly put to sleep with a triangle choke submission. The fight ended with Pimblett maintaining his 6-0 undefeated reign in the UFC. After the official update, he will have a new ranking.
