UFC 328: King Green vs. Jeremy Stephens: Prediction
With the speed advantage on his side, I predict a unanimous decision win for Green over Stephens. Both may be in the sunset of their careers, but Green has been very active competing inside the octagon against younger contenders.
Green’s head movement and defensive instincts are still pretty much on point. Meanwhile, judging from his previous octagon fight, Stephens has lost a step, especially in striking exchanges, where he received more damage.
The only thing Green should be wary of is Stephens’ power that he still possesses in his hands. Stephens has carried this power from his days as a featherweight contender and used it to finish opponents.
King Green’s Recent Fight Results
Green has been with the promotion since 2013. In his last five outings in the UFC, he racked up three wins against Jim Miller, Lance Gibson Jr., and Daniel Zellhuber, while his losses were at the hands of Paddy Pimblett and Mauricio Ruffy.
Jeremy Stephens’ Recent Fight Results
