Sat Mar 08 10:20:00 UTC 2025: **King Green Looks to Rebound After Costly Loss at UFC 313**

LAS VEGAS – Mixed martial arts fighter King Green (32-16-1 MMA, 13-11-1 UFC) is looking to bounce back from a quick submission loss to Paddy Pimblett at UFC 304 last July. Green openly admitted to making a costly mistake in the fight, describing it as a “blooper” where he slipped and inadvertently fell into a submission attempt by Pimblett.

“I f*cking just slipped on a banana peel,” Green said at a news conference Wednesday. He added that the loss, which he likened to “losing a Super Bowl,” stung particularly because of the intense rivalry between the two fighters. Green traveled to Pimblett’s “pond” for the fight, putting everything on the line.

This Saturday at UFC 313, Green will face another rising star, Mauricio Ruffy (11-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC), in the main card opener at the T-Mobile Arena. Green is determined to put the Pimblett loss behind him and secure a victory. The fight will be broadcast on ESPN+ pay-per-view, ESPNews/Disney+, and ESPN+.
