- Undisputed KOTC lightweight champion Bobby Green is headed to Strikeforce.
The high-energy fighter, who owns a 15-4 pro record and four victories in his past five fights, has signed a four-fight deal with Strikeforce.
Jason House of Iridium Sports Agency today confirmed the signing with MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com), though terms of the deal were not disclosed.
A debut date and opponent have not been determined.
Green, a three-and-a-half-year pro, has spent much of his career with KOTC, though he's also made appearances with Affliction and Tachi Palace Fights. The 24-year-old, who trains with Pinnacle Jiu jitsu and MMA in California, owns seven knockouts and six submissions in 15 career victories.
Green has defeated notables such as Charles Bennett and Sevak Magakian, and losses have come to the likes of Dan Lauzon and David Mitchell. Most recently, he scored a decision victory over Dominic O'Grady to become KOTC's undisputed lightweight championship.
In a 2010 interview with MMAjunkie.com, he said he's tailor made for the sport and has no problem with late-notice fights.
"I do it whenever they call," Green said. "This is a lifestyle – versus a lot of guys that are doing the business right now. They're doing it because it's cool. 'Maybe I can get a girlfriend or two out of this.' Maybe a little respect from their friends. But to me, it's just a lifestyle. This is what I do every day." http://mmajunkie.com/news/24392/strikeforce-signs-kotc-champ-bobby-green.mma?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+mmajunkie+%28MMAjunkie.com+Feed%29&utm_content=Twitter | |
