Bobby Green, a well-known fighter in the lightweight division of the UFC, made headlines by officially changing his name to ‘King’ Green after updating his birth certificate. This move comes after a victory against Jim Miller in UFC 300 following a loss to Jalin Turner.
Last year, Green’s fight with Jared Gordon ended in a ‘No Contest,’ leading him to announce his new name as ‘King,’ signaling the retirement of his former self. He has since confirmed the change on social media, declaring that he will now go by ‘King Green’ in all his future UFC bouts.
Prior to the name change, Green had an impressive three-fight unbeaten streak, securing wins against fighters like Tony Ferguson and Grant Dawson. He has also shown support for his fellow fighters, such as Nate Diaz, by attending events like Diaz’s rematch against Jorge Masvidal.
