King Green was once again passed over for a performance bonus at UFC 328, but that doesn\u2019t mean the tough-as-nails lightweight walked away from New Jersey empty handed.<\/p>\n
Green is now on a three fight win streak after boxing up and tapping out<\/a> Jeremy Stephens in the opening bout of last weekend\u2019s main card. His rear-naked choke on Stephens wasn\u2019t really spectacular enough to merit a $100,000 bonus, but there was some hope that he\u2019d get one on account of being screwed after KOing Daniel Zellhuber<\/a> in February.<\/p>\n Alas, not even an impassioned speech directed at Dana White and Hunter Campbell could land him the $100k, even though he technically followed the new unspoken rule where begging for a bonus actually hurts your chances of getting one. He\u2019ll have to be satisfied with his win money, the $25k finish bonus, and 30% of Stephens\u2019 purse after \u201cLil Heathen\u201d missed weight by four pounds.<\/a> Plus \u2026 his own custom shorts?<\/p>\n \u201cWell, we we talked about it, [we] looked at the opponents and who they fought,\u201d White said of Green getting a bonus. \u201cBut Bobby Green is gonna get his own — he\u2019s been wanting his own shorts, so he\u2019s getting them. We\u2019re making sure he gets his own shorts.\u201d<\/p>\n Green has said in the past that he\u2019s hellbent on wearing similar stars-and-stripes shorts as Apollo Creed wore in the Rocky movies. They\u2019re cool shorts, but they\u2019re not $100,000 cool. Especially after hearing Green\u2019s story about $300,000 worth of jewelry<\/a> getting stolen. King said he\u2019d be pushing for a quick turnaround to recoup more of those losses, and less than two days after his last fight it sounds like he\u2019s just waiting on the paperwork for the next one.<\/p>\n \u201cI think I might have a fight soon,\u201d Green wrote on Instagram Stories. \u201cI told you I tell no lies.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"King Green was once again passed over for a performance bonus at UFC 328, but that doesn\u2019t mean…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":662213,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[444],"tags":[49,48,641,638,82,208767,702],"class_list":["post-662212","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mma","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-fighting","tag-mma","tag-sports","tag-ufc-328","tag-ufc-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/662212","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=662212"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/662212\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/662213"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=662212"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=662212"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=662212"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
