King Green releases depressing statement following UFC 319 withdrawal – ‘I can't walk'
Bummer. Earlier today, 27-fight Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) veteran King Green withdrew from UFC 319, scheduled for this weekend (Sat., Aug. 16, 2025), due to an injury.

Green posted a statement on his Instagram Story hours after the news broke 'I worked so hard to get here, so hard. I went through a lot of bullshit to get here,' Green said. 'Back in the day, I've had pull-outs, but somewhere along the line, I said I would never pull out of a fight again. If I have to f—king limp my ass there, I'll limp myself into the cage, but I won't pull out.' 'This one is a little different. I can't even f—king walk, guys,' Green continued. 'If I had a broken hand, I would say anything, I'd just fight. I'm sorry to anyone that I let down. I let myself down even more; it just sucks. I got people who look up to and need me. I got the crutches here, it is what it is…I'm really sorry.' Green (32-17-1) is riding a two-fight losing streak, getting finished in the first round in both of them.
