“Put Some Respect on My Name”: King Green Vows Six Fights at Age 40 in Fiery Interview
King Green wants UFC fans to put some respect on his name for his unreal workload of 6 fights in the same year at the age of 40.
UFC lightweight veteran King Green isn't planning to slow down as he enters his 40s. Known for his swagger and shoulder-roll boxing inside the Octagon, the fan favorite delivered a fiery interview declaring that he intends to pull off a rare, grueling feat: fighting six times in a single year at 40 years old.
Refusing to let age define his work ethic, Green made it crystal clear that his drive comes purely from a love for combat:
"Who's doing it, bro? Five in a year. I'm gonna do six this year at 40. Put some respect on my name. I'm one of the hardest mfs that ever did this in a cage. I meant that. And I wasn't saying for no bonus. I wouldn't say this for no kudos. Fans can expect what they always expect from me. A real fight. And I can guarantee you he's going to sleep or I'm going to sleep. One of the two. But you get a fight."
Longevity, Work Ethic, and Undeniable Octagon Numbers
Green carries a 36-17-1 (1 NC) professional record built over nearly two decades in mixed martial arts. Operating with a unique shoulder-roll stance and fast hands, Green lands an impressive 6.49 significant strikes per minute with a 53% striking accuracy. Additionally, his grappling defense remains sharp, boasting a 71% takedown defense rate.
His sheer activity rate sets him apart in modern MMA. While most top contenders average two appearances a year, Green thrives on short-notice opportunities and high-turnaround schedules. Despite recent outside challenges, including making $1.2 million this year while facing housing trouble after friends took over his properties, his focus remains firmly fixed on making history inside the cage.
Win or lose, Green promises guaranteed entertainment every time he steps into the Octagon. As he pushes toward his goal of six fights in a single year, the veteran lightweight continues to prove why he remains one of the most durable and fearless fan favorites in combat sports history.
