Gabriel Green[1] (born May 2, 1993) is an American mixed martial artist who competes in the Welterweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Background

[edit]

Coming from an athletic family, Green played football while attending Warren High School and had a boxing bag in his backyard where his father taught him to box.[4] He would eventually join a gym after his friend suggested they try together and after two months had his first amateur bout. He would win his next 6 amateur bouts before going pro because of lack of opponents on the amateur scene.[5]

Green attended California State University, Long Beach, where he earned his bachelor's degree in business despite starting out in the pre-med program.[6][7]

Mixed martial arts career

[edit]

Early career

[edit]

Having his debut in 2016, he compiled a 9–2 record before the UFC fighting mostly in California, winning the CXF 160 lb Championship in his last bout before his short notice bout in the UFC. He made 3 appearances in Bellator MMA, winning his first appearance at Bellator 160 against Alex Trinidad via second-round TKO, losing at Bellator 170 against fellow future UFC fighter Jalin Turner 36 seconds into the bout, and finally winning via second round rear-naked choke against Chris Padilla at Bellator 192.[8][9][10]
