Dana White backs King Green for a BMF title shot if he beats Esteban Ribovics
White told the UFC 332 press conference "I absolutely agree", and Green meets Ribovics on a main card due at 01:00 UK time early on Sunday.
King Green could fight for the BMF title if he beats Esteban Ribovics at UFC 332 on Saturday, Dana White suggested at the pre-fight press conference in Salt Lake City.
Asked whether Green, who has said the BMF title would be the ultimate thing on his bucket list, would be the perfect fighter for it if he gets past Ribovics, White said: "I do not disagree with you. I absolutely agree. Let's go!"
"S**t, I need my strap," Green replied.
Earlier at the press conference, Green, 39 and 36-17-1, said: "First of all, it's too quiet in this motherf***er. This is a press conference, not a goddamn job interview."
Green and Ribovics, who is 16-3, meet at lightweight at the Delta Center. The main card is due at 01:00 UK and Irish time early on Sunday on TNT Sports. Start times and the full card are on our UFC 332 page.
