Bobby Ray Green (born September 9, 1986) is an American professional mixed martial artist who is currently under contract with the UFC, competing in their Lightweight division. A professional competitor since 2008, Green is the former King of the Cage Lightweight Champion and has also competed in Tachi Palace Fights, Strikeforce, and Affliction. Green also made an appearance on the MTV/MTV2 reality show Bully Beatdown. As of August 17, 2015, he is #12 in the official UFC lightweight rankings.
Green was born in San Bernardino, California and became a foster child when he was five years old. Green began wrestling in his sophomore year at A.B. Miller High School in Fontana, California and was talented, placing twice in the state tournament. Green began pursuing a career in professional mixed martial arts while he was also working at a warehouse to help support his son.
Green made his professional mixed martial arts debut in January 2008, and quickly amassed an 8-1 record while fighting on independent events. What made his success more impressive is that Green did not even train for his first dozen professional fights.
Green drew the attention of Affliction Entertainment and fought on their second (and final) card Day of Reckoning. He lost to Dan Lauzon via submission in the first round. Green was docked two points in the first round, in what Sherdog has called one of the dirtiest fights in recent memory.
