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. He was set to face fellow UFC veteran Diego Ferreira in the 'Prelims' headliner at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois. 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.

King Green 'can't even f*cking walk,' which caused UFC 319 withdrawal
King Green always told himself he wouldn't withdraw from a fight, but UFC 319 proved the exception to his rule. Thursday, Green (32-17-1 MMA, 13-12-1 UFC) was forced out of Saturday's matchup vs. Diego Ferreira in Chicago. Hours later, he revealed why. He said he is unable to walk. "I worked so hard to get here – so hard," Green said in a video posted on his Instagram story. "I went through a lot of bullsh*t to get here. Back in the day, I had pullouts, you know? But somewhere along the line, I said, 'I'm never pulling out of a fight. If I've got to limp my ass there, I'll limp into the cage. But I'm never pulling out.' This one is a little bit different. I can't even f*cking walk, guys. If I had a broken hand, I wouldn't say nothing. I'd fight. "So I'm sorry to anybody I let down. I let myself down even more than that. It just sucks to take this. I've got things to do for people who look up to me and need me and (I) take care of. I've got the f*cking crutches right here, the f*cking bullsh*t. It is what it is, man. I'm really sorry, and thank you for everyone who really rides with me. This sh*t is really appreciated. I'm really sorry." Green, 38, did not specify what the injury was. Despite his mission to to fight regardless of the situation, the UFC 319 withdrawal was his 11th in the promotion. Green is one of the longest-tenured fighters on the UFC roster, having been imported into the organization in 2013 as part of the absorption of the Strikeforce brand. With the withdrawal coming so close to the event, Ferreira (19-6 MMA, 10-6 UFC) was removed from the card. The promotion said it plans to reschedule the bout for a later date.
