King Green vs. Mauricio Ruffy - UFC 313 Highlights

Mauricio Ruffy delivered a Knockout of the Year candidate against King Green in the UFC 313 main card opener on Saturday night.

Ruffy stalked early and caught Green with a nice right hand against the fence, but Green ate it and fired back a right hand of his own. That backed up Ruffy a bit, putting both fighters back in the center of the Octagon.

As both continued to show a bit of hesitation, Ruffy unleashed an absolutely insane wheel kick that caught Green right on the temple and sent him crashing to the canvas.
