In a quirky turn of events, UFC lightweight contender Bobby Green has legally changed his name to “King.” For years, Green has been known by this nickname, but now it’s his actual moniker. His upcoming opponent, Paddy Pimblett, couldn’t resist taking a playful jab at the situation.

Paddy Pimblett, who last defeated Tony Ferguson via unanimous decision at UFC 296, aims for his sixth consecutive win in the UFC when he faces Green. However, controversy surrounds his previous victory over Jared Gordon at UFC 282, with some believing he lost despite the unanimous decision. If Pimblett can get past Green, he’ll have a chance to crack the lightweight divisional rankings.
Additionally, Pimblett has been engaged in a feud with featherweight champion Ilia Topuria, claiming that Topuria is avoiding a bout with Max Holloway. According to Pimblett, “Hand sanitizer boy is scared to take the fight. He doesn’t want to take the fight against Max because he knows what will happen.” The drama continues in the world of MMA.
