Both lightweights come into the fight with vast experience, knockout wins, and bonuses to their name.
“I’m becoming more psycho because I’m realizing it now,” Green told reporters, including MMA Junkie, at Wednesday’s UFC 328 media day. “I want to tell Jeremy, I just want to find out who’s more psycho because I believe he is, too. He has a little bit of that in him, too, and I can see it. The things he’s done, I’m like, ‘Oh, interesting.’
“Let’s find out who’s more psycho, because I’m going to go stand in front of you, and look him crazy in his eyes, and let’s f*cking go. And just, pow, pow, pow, and he hit me and I hit him. Pow, pow, pow. It’s going to go crazy. It’s going to be something crazy, and let’s find out who’s more psycho. I’m willing to do it.”
Green is a sizable favorite over Stephens. Both 39, Green has been the more consistent fighter in the cage, and is coming off back-to-back wins over Lance Gibson Jr., and most recently an upset finish over Daniel Zellhuber at UFC Fight Night 268.
