LiontipsDaniel Zellhuber- King Green: (March 1, 2026): statistics, personal meetings, and bookmaker odds
Command Analysis
Current form
Zellhuber joined the UFC through the Contender Series in 2021, winning by decision and receiving a ticket to the big leagues. The debut, however, turned out to be painful — a defeat by Trey Ogden, although the bookmakers saw him as a clear favorite. Then the Mexican scored three wins in a row, but lost by split decision to Esteban Ribovich in a fight that many called the Fight of the Year 2024. Last year, he had only one fight and lost to Michael Johnson by decision of the judges.
Before the UFC, he competed in the Jasaji Fighting League, Lux Fight League and Combat Americas, but did not reach the title opportunities. He is now 26 years old, with a record of 13 wins (six by knockout, five by decision, two by submission) and three defeats. Zellhuber is a mysterious fighter. He seems to adjust to his opponent: he may look great, but he often starts slowly, loses pace, and doesn't put on extra gear when necessary. This is exactly what worries about a fight with an experienced veteran.
Current form
Green lost a split decision to Lance Gibson Jr. in December 2025. Before that, there was a hard knockout with a roundhouse kick from Mauricio Ruffi and a triangle choke defeat from Paddy Pimblett. His record in the UFC is 14-12-1. At 39, Green is no longer the brash all-rounder he used to be, but the character hasn't gone away. In the last match, he showed that he is able to keep up the pace. The only question is the strength of the chin after such defeats is always in doubt. In total, the American has 33 wins (10 by knockout, 13 by decision, 10 by submission) and 17 defeats. He is a former KOTC champion and knows what long evenings in a cage are like.

1.81Tip and bets
Intuition tells me that Zellhuber should take this fight. He's younger, fresher, faster. But there is a feeling that victory, if it happens, will be without fireworks. Green is no longer as dangerous as he was in his best years, but he is experienced and knows how to drag his opponent into a viscous, uneven rhythm. And Zellhuber doesn't always know how to impose his own. If Green had been at his peak, the choice in his favor would have looked much bolder. And here the logic is simple: Zellhuber has not made bright early victories in the UFC for a long time, and Green, despite his age, knows how to survive and stretch the fight. The scenario looks like this: a cautious start, exchanges at a distance, without unnecessary risk, and the fight goes to the judges' cards.
