Green wants a shot to compete at the
UFC’s White House card.
Green was a sizeable underdog going into his lightweight matchup against an up-and-coming Daniel Zellhuber at UFC Mexico on Saturday. Green led the dance from the opening bell and completely outstruck Zellhuber before knocking him out late in the second round in front of his home fans.
When asked about his next potential opponent, Green called for Nate Diaz to be re-signed to the UFC. However, Green later changed tune and called for a matchup against Michael Chandler at the White House in June.
“Michael Chandler at the White House, that would be dope,” Green said in an interview with the UFC. “I’d love to be on the White House lawn. I’m a great American. I want to show for the Black folks and say, ‘Hey America, this is what a standup Black American looks like.’ I’m showing the example to America and saying, ‘Hey, this is who I am. I represent America.’”
Green (34-17) is now on a two-fight winning streak that saw him rebound from consecutive losses against Paddy Pimblett and Mauricio Ruffy. Meanwhile, Chandler (23-10) is 2-5 in the UFC and currently on a three-fight slump.

"Fight, kick some ass, AND get tacos? Sounds like a great day to me."
