King Green hates to pull out of fighting.
The UFC light weight veteran did not have to withdraw from many periods in its decade-long career, but Green did not have much choice for UFC 319.
Days of his return to Chicago, it was announced that Green's coming fight with Carlos Diego Ferreira had been canceled due to an injury contracted by Green.
This was one of the two Vechtsannulings that took place on Thursday for UFC 319, because a welterweight fight on the Undercard also fell.
Green spoke about his withdrawal into a new video.

King Green says he can't run after the withdrawal of the UFC 319
For the past six years, Green has only withdrawn from fighting with Jim Miller.
Green wanted to clean up the air of the injury that took him out of the fighting at UFC 319, which showed that he is currently on crutches.
“I worked so hard to get here. I went through a lot of B- to get here,” said Green.
“I used to have deducts, but somewhere along the line I said, I never pull out of a fight. If I have my A Limend-Daard, I will link in the cage, but I never pull out.
“This one is a bit different. I can't even walk, guys,” said Green.
“If I had a broken hand, I wouldn't say anything. I would fight. And so I am sorry for someone I abandoned. I have abandoned myself even more, you know? It is just sucking this stuff, bro.
“I have things to do. I have people who look up to me and need me. I have the F- crutches here to f— B ——- Not you, Bro. It is what it is, man.
“I am really sorry and thanks for everyone who really drives me. This S – is really appreciated and I am really sorry.”
As of his Instagram king Green states that his injury is a lower body injury that is so bad that he cannot walk now.
