Perennial lightweight contender, King Green is set for his return to action at UFC 319 in Chicago, Illinois — booking a showdown with fellow stalwart challenger, Diego Ferreira on August 16. from the United Center.

Green, a former top-15 contender at the lightweight limit, will look to snap a two-fight losing skid in his return to action later this summer, following a hellacious wheel kick knockout loss against the impressive, Mauricio Ruffy back in March of this year at UFC 313.
