Well, this sucks.
King Green suffered an injury during fight week and was forced to withdraw from his Diego Ferreira bout, which was expected to serve as the featured “Prelims” contest in this weekend’s UFC 319 lineup. Ferreira told BJPenn.com he was off the card, with MMAfighting.com later confirming the injury to Green.
It’s been a rough couple of years for Green, who turns 39 in just a few weeks. The longtime MMA veteran (32-17-1, 1 NC) has dropped two straight and three of his last four, suffering
first-round finishes in all three losses. As for the 40 year-old Ferreira, he fell to 19-6 after losing a decision to Grant Dawson in January.
UFC 319 will be headlined by the middleweight title fight pitting current middleweight champion, Dricus du Plessis, against undefeated contender, Khamzat Chimaev. The featherweight co-main event features the debut of former Bellator bruiser Aaron Pico, who looks to blemish the unbeaten record of savvy striker Lerone Murphy.
