King Green unharmed after Range Rover crash on live stream; no legal action planned

King Green's worst month in the Octagon has a rough sequel on the road. The 40-year-old lightweight was streaming live on Kick on Sunday night when his custom Range Rover was hit by a silver Jeep Compass turning left, and his viewers watched the whole thing.

The stream kept running after the impact. Green told viewers he hoped the people in the other car were okay, called the Range Rover his baby and later shrugged the crash off with "Sh*t happens." Hours later he said in an Instagram story that he would take no legal action against the other driver, called it an "unfortunate situation" and said everyone involved was fine, according to Ag. Fight. Combat Sports UK also quotes him saying he is not trying to sue anyone.

Fault is still unsettled. Green insists the other driver turned into his path and that he had a green light. MMA Insight, MyMMANews and Sherdog's embedded post say he appeared to run a red light, and MMA Insight says his own video seems to show it. No police report or official finding has been reported, though Combat Sports UK says police were at the scene.

MMA Fanatik Slovakia added that some viewers thought Green did not seem fully himself on the video and speculated about drug use. That is online speculation only, with no test or official statement behind it, and no other outlet repeated it.

The crash follows a bad stretch inside the cage. Esteban Ribovics stopped Green with first-round punches at UFC 332 on Oct. 3, ending a four-fight winning streak in which Green had stopped his last three opponents. He has not been booked for a next fight, though Combat Sports UK says he has named Michael Chandler as the opponent he wants.

Watch for word from the other driver, any police finding on who had the light, and whether the UFC announces his next booking.
