UFC Mexico City Results: King Green stops Daniel Zellhuber (Video)

We have you covered for all of tonight’s UFC Mexico City results, including the lightweight bout between King Green and Daniel Zellhuber.

Green (34-17-1 MMA) was most previously seen in action this past December, where he scored a split decision win over Lance Gibson Jr. That victory snapped a two-fight losing skid for the 39-year-old veteran, who had previously suffered stoppage losses at the hands of Paddy Pimblett and Mauricio Ruffy (see that here).

Meanwhile, Daniel Zellhuber (15-4 MMA) will enter tonight’s contest with hopes of snapping a two-fight losing skid. ‘Golden Boy’ is coming off back-to-back decision losses to Michael Johnson and Esteban Ribovics in his most previous Octagon appearances. Prior to those setbacks, Zellhuber had strung together three straight wins, which included a submission victory over Christos Giagos.

Don’t sleep on this one 🤜 🤛
