UFC 319 Featured Prelim: King Green vs. Diego Ferreira
At the top of the bill for the undercard On Saturday evening the lightweights go to the legendary Achthoek when Bobby (King) Green (37-12-1, 1 NC MMA, 13-12-1, 1 NC UFC) Diego Ferreira (19-6 MMA, 10-6 UFC.) All fights in five minutes.
Green comes UFC 319 with a 2-3 record in his last five games. At the moment he dropped two fights in a row.
On March 8 he ran a knockout loss from the first round for Mauricio Ruffy (12-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC,) graduated from 2023 Dana White’s Contender Series. Green said he had no intentions to retire from the UFC After his defeat late last winter.
If he loses here in UFC 319, he serves as his 62nd career, he might think about his future as a hunter.
On the other side, Diego Ferreira has a mark of 2-3 in itself in the last five attacks. Just like his opponent, Ferreira also falters a defeat in his last game. Back on January 18 in southern California, he saw his two-fog winning streak end by Grant Dawson (23-2-1 MMA, 11-1-1-1 UFC) through unanimous decision.
This is Ferreira’s 26th career walk to an MMA cage as a professional competitor, compared to the 62nd walk to the cage awaiting King Green on Saturday evening in the Windy City. Will he triumph this weekend about an experienced veteran?

UFC 319: No. 5 Candidate Jessica Andrade versus no. 11 Contender Loopy Godinez
Also on the UFC 319 -Prelims, you see a strict weight competition where it will move the day in the division. No. 5 Contender and former UFC Strawweight champion Jessica Andrade (26-14 MMA, 17-12 UFC) will make her 30th performance under the promotional banner when they lock horns with no. 11 looper loopy godinez (13-5 MMA, 8-5 UFC.)
Andrade goes to the Windy City on a 2-3 clip over her five newest fights. She has sustained two straight defeats that will start on Saturday evening. Three months ago she was at the wrong end of a first round entry by means of chake van Jasmine Jasudavicius (14-3 MMA, 8-2 UFC) in UFC 315 from Montreal.
For her efforts, Jasudavicius has taken an advance of $ 50,000 cash with the performance of the Night Award during the press conference after the fight. In anticipation of UFC 319, Andrade said that she withdraws from active competition as soon as she gets the 40-fight marking in the promotion.
Hair 30th UFC fight is crucial. A victory here can make her as little as one victory of another shot at the UFC Strawweight Championship, after he had previously held the title in 2019.
In the other corner, Loopy Godinez is wearing a 3-2 mark in her last five showdowns. Recently she scored a unanimous decision victory on March 29 in Mexico City after 15 minutes of action versus Julia Polastri (13-5 MMA, 1-2 UFC.)
The commitment here is also high for Godinez. Apart from moving to the top 10 at 115 hours as soon as Monday with a new notch in the win column this weekend, she could also agree with a striking distance to be in the title photo when she increases her hand.
