Contents

Background

Coming from an athletic family, Green played football while attending Warren High School and had a boxing bag in his backyard where his father taught him to box. [3] He would eventually join a gym after his friend suggested they try together and after two months had his first amateur bout. He would win his next six amateur bouts before going pro because of lack of opponents on the amateur scene. [4]

Green attended California State University, Long Beach, where he earned his bachelor's degree in business despite starting out in the pre-med program. [5] [6]

Mixed martial arts career

Early career

Having his debut in 2016, he compiled a 9–2 record before the UFC fighting mostly in California, winning the CXF 160 lb Championship in his last bout before his short notice bout in the UFC. He made 3 appearances in Bellator MMA, winning his first appearance at Bellator 160 against Alex Trinidad via second-round TKO, losing at Bellator 170 against fellow future UFC fighter Jalin Turner 36 seconds into the bout, and finally winning via second round rear-naked choke against Chris Padilla at Bellator 192.
