Bobby Green now ‘in sniper range’ of UFC title, eyes Dan Hooker fight in December

LAS VEGAS – Bobby Green is living in the moment after his sub-minute finish in the second main event of his UFC tenure, but that doesn’t mean a couple of names aren’t on his radar.

Green (31-14-1 MMA, 12-9-1 UFC) needed just 33 seconds to knock out Grant Dawson in the UFC Fight Night 229 main event at the UFC Apex. As a result, Green wasn’t sure how to process the moment other than just praising his team and all of those around him.

With the win over the promotion-ranked No. 10 Dawson (20-2-1 MMA, 8-1-1 UFC), Green will likely have a number next to his name next week, which he says will be cool for the fans who want to identify his place in the lightweight division. While he admits he has never been motivated by chasing the UFC title, “King” believes it’s within reach, if that’s how the promotion wants to push him.
