Get the best Green vs. Stephens predictions ahead of Saturday's lightweight bout in Newark. Free UFC picks for May 9.
The UFC 328 main card opens with a lightweight tilt between a pair of grizzled veterans in King Green and Jeremy Stephens. Despite being 39 years old, Green still possesses plenty of speed and athleticism, which is why I’m backing him in myKing Green will look to keep his win streak rolling as the sizable favorite against Jeremy Stephens, who is 1-8-1 over his last 10 professional bouts and 0-6-1 in the UFC during that span.
While Stephens has just one UFC fight in the last three and a half years, Green has been going toe-to-toe with legitimate stars like Mauricio Ruffy and Paddy Pimblett. Green’s the faster, more athletic fighter and averages 6.38 strikes per minute compared to just 3.15 for Stephens. Green can also mix in some wrestling, which he did in his most recent win over Daniel Zellhuber.
Six of Green’s last eight bouts have also ended before the final bell, while two of Stephens’ last three UFC fights failed to go the distance. : Our team of experts has thoroughly researched and handpicked each product that appears on our website.
