Sean Shelby’s Shoes: What’s next for Bobby Green after UFC Fight Night 229 win?

(ALSO SEE: Sean Shelby’s Shoes: What’s next for Grant Dawson after UFC Fight Night 229 loss?)

Bobby Green pulled off arguably the biggest non-title UFC main event upset of the year on Saturday when he downed Grant Dawson in dramatic fashion

Green (31-15-1 MMA, 12-9-1 UFC) needed just 33 seconds to knock down and knock out Dawson (20-2-1 MMA, 8-1-1 UFC) in the UFC Fight Night 229 lightweight headliner, which took place at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas and streamed on ESPN+.

“King” came into the fight as a massive betting underdog, and he overcame that in flawless fashion to elevate his stock in the 155-pound division and become a desired matchup for many in the weight class.

Green discussed the likes of Dan Hooker (23-12 MMA, 13-8 UFC) and Renato Moicano (17-5-1 MMA, 9-5 UFC) and potential next opponents in the aftermath of his win, but what makes most sense?

Watch the video above for thoughts and analysis on Green’s future after his UFC Fight Night 229 main event upset.
