King Green slammed with mix of emotions after easy UFC 328 win over Stephens
King Green has three straight wins, but he's not sure he's showing what he wants to show yet.
NEWARK, N. J. – King Green met the media Saturday after his win over Jeremy Stephens at UFC 328.
Green (35-17-1 MMA, 16-12-1 UFC) made easy work of Stephens (29-23 MMA, 15-20 UFC) to open the main card at Prudential Center in Newark, N. J. , and submitted him with a first-round rear-naked choke.
Green handed Stephens the 20th loss of his UFC career – a dubious record the Iowan probably would prefer he didn't own. But despite a virtually flawless performance that the broadcast crew raved about, Green wasn't so sure he was even happy. "I don't even feel like I got in a fight and I didn't like the way I finished it," Green said at his post-fight news conference.
"I wanted to knock him out and make sure that I'm solidifying myself as one of the greatest fighters to ever step on these mats. "And that's what I was saying to Dana (White after the submission) is, I'm one of the greatest to ever do this. If you go through my catalog and really look at my catalog, I've been fighting this way, scrapping and making entertainment.
