The 9 Houses King Green Owns Can't Give Him a Home, and It's Getting Crazy

King Green, the UFC lightweight veteran, is currently homeless. Yes, you read that right. The man who’s been grinding in the Octagon for 13 years and is on a scorching four-fight win streak is literally living out of his car right now.

This isn’t some sob story from a fighter down on his luck, either. Green, the 40-year-old on the lightweight roster, laid it all out during an appearance on Arnold Barboza’s Kick stream. He’s got property, a lot of it in fact, but he generously offered up his homes to friends. Now he’s the one without a roof. “I got like nine houses, but I’m f***ing homeless right now,” Green said, completely unfiltered. “All my homies live in all of my homes and sh*t, so I’m f***ing living out of my car as we speak. It’s crazy, you know?” This is classic King Green, isn’t it? He’s always been that lovable fighter, the guy with an authenticity you just don’t see often, whether he’s giving unfiltered speeches on the mic or showing off his self-described “hood style” in the cage.

But his current housing situation isn’t even the only wild ride Green’s been on lately. He admitted, “It’s just a part of life, bro. And I just want to show people real life. I deal with sh*t like this all the time.” Think about that. Last camp, he got robbed of $300,000 of jewelry. Then, just “a couple days ago,” he broke up with his girlfriend, who he had been staying with. It’s like the universe keeps throwing haymakers outside the Octagon. Inside, though, he’s aging like a fine wine, still dominating. His last outing was an incredibly impressive buzzer-beating knockout against Terrance McKinney, capping off that four-fight tear. What does it say about a fighter who can juggle this much personal chaos and still perform at such a high level?

And it won’t stop anytime soon. Green is just a month away from stepping back into the cage against a “young, hungry South American” prospect, Esteban Ribovics. A win in that fight could be huge, potentially forcing King Green back into the UFC rankings, a spot he hasn’t touched since his submission defeat to Paddy Pimblett at UFC 304. He knows the drill: “I’ll find a spot after this fight. I’ll figure something out.” You gotta wonder what kind of fire this absolute whirlwind of a life lights under him. Get ready, because when King Green steps in the cage next, it’s gonna be personal.
