Bobby Green's win over Josh Thomson on Saturday at UFC on Fox 12 has shot him into the thick of things at 155 lbs., and he's wasting no time getting back in the cage.
The UFC announced on Tuesday that Green will take on fellow UFC on Fox 12 victor Jorge Masvidal at UFC 178 this September, adding yet another meaningful fight to that card in Las Vegas.
Green edged past Thomson in a close and competitive fight, earning his eighth straight win overall and fourth in the Octagon. Fellow Strikeforce vet Masvidal picked up a win over Daron Cruickshank on Saturday himself, his second straight. That brought him to 4-1 in his UFC run thus far.
UFC 178 airs live on pay-per-view on Sept. 27, headlined by the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship bout between Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier. This bout will likely take place on the prelims on Fox Sports 1.
