NEWARK, NEW JERSEY - MAY 09: King Green secures a rear choke submission against Jeremy Stephens in a lightweight fight during the UFC 328 event at Prudential Center on May 09, 2026 in Newark, New Jersey. (Photo by Michelle Farsi/Zuffa LLC) King Green laid waste to Jeremy Stephens to pick up his third win in a row as the veteran lightweight scored a rear-naked choke submission to end the opening fight on the UFC 328 main card. From the jump, Green showed off fast hands on the feet but then decided to plan Stephens on the ground where he unleashed some vicious strikes from the top.
It appeared he might end the fight that way but instead, Green found an opening to lock on a rear-naked choke. With the grip tightened around his neck, Stephens had no choice but to tap out with the end coming at 4:20 in the first round. Afterwards, Green turned to his bosses at the UFC to remind him that he deserves bonus for this victory.
