King Green’s Post-Fight Analysis
“I honestly don’t feel like I was in a real fight, and I wasn’t pleased with how I finished it,” Green stated at the post-fight news conference. “My intention was to secure a knockout, reinforcing my status as one of the greatest fighters to ever compete. I made sure to convey this to Dana White after the submission, emphasizing my legacy in this sport. My career has been defined by this fighting style, by scrapping and delivering entertainment. That’s my essence. My age or external factors don’t change that.”
“I often feel insignificant, like I’m nothing,” Green confessed. “This feeling has been with me my whole life, even though people haven’t always expressed it. I still see myself as that struggling kid, content with whatever is offered. The mentality of ‘beggars can’t be choosers’ keeps me grounded. If I started feeling entitled and demanding things, I’d have to question who I think I am. So, I remain humble and accept whatever comes my way.”
“A main event slot would be fantastic, primarily for the additional $100,000 bonus. If you’re unaware, main event fighters receive an extra $100,000. That’s my sole motivation for wanting a main event booking.”
