later this month.

The veteran lightweight recently announced in a social media post
that he has gone through the process to officially change his name
to “King Green.” In a video on Instagram, Green displayed the
paperwork that made the name change legal.
“Just to let people know. I wasn’t playing. I really changed my
name,” Green said in the video.
“King,” of course, was Green’s nickname as a fighter before he made
it his official first name. The 37-year-old former King of
the Cage champion is scheduled to face Paddy
Pimblett in a featured bout at UFC 304 on July 27 at the Co-op
Live in Manchester, England. Green has won three of his last four
Octagon appearances and is coming off a lopsided three-round
verdict over Jim Miller at
UFC 300.
“I worked so hard at Bobby Green, but the point was to show [you]
go from nothing to a King,” Green wrote in a caption on his
Instagram post.
