UFC lightweight Bobby Green is showing no signs of slowing down at age 40, as he looks to close out 2026 with a historic run in the division, according to a report from BBC Sport.
Green's longevity in one of the UFC's most competitive weight classes has drawn attention, with the veteran fighter continuing to compete at a high level well into his forties, an age at which many fighters have already retired from active competition.
The report frames his current run against the backdrop of his personal history, referencing a period of homelessness earlier in his life as part of the broader narrative around his career in mixed martial arts.
Further details of Green's specific results and remaining fights this year were not fully outlined in the available report.
