Despite it being on two-and-a-half weeks’ notice, Maurice Greene jumped at the opportunity to fight Jeff Hughes at UFC on ESPN+ 4 this Saturday.
Hughes’ original opponent, Daniel Spitz, suffered an injury that forced him out of the fight. Greene, aka “The Crochet Boss,” who lost to Hughes at LFA 38 in April 2018 for the LFA heavyweight championship, said “hell yeah, let’s run it back,” at the opportunity.
Greene feels he’s improved everywhere since that fight. He competed on Season 28 of The Ultimate Fighter, where he was a member of Kelvin Gastelum’s team.
