The No.15-ranked lightweight contender King Green will take on Paddy Pimblett later tonight on the main card of UFC 304.
Despite possessing one of the most stylish stand-up games in MMA, Green (32-15-1 and one NC) has churned out mixed results in the UFC. It has been more of the same in his recent fights.
He is 3-1 and one no-contest in his last five. However, his last three wins have come against notable names including the likes of Tony Ferguson and Jim Miller. A win against a much-hyped up-and-comer like Pimblett would undoubtedly do wonders for his star power.

Meanwhile, 'The Baddy' (21-3) is on the verge of breaking into the 155-pound rankings. A win this weekend will see the Scouser enter the lightweight top 15.

Round 1

A claf kick by 'The Baddy' momentarily imbalances Green. The American shoots for a takedown, but the Englishman quickly locks up his opponent in a guillotine choke on the way down.

Pimblett is the victor.
