Dana White is used to hearing plenty during interviews, but a question about one of his own athletes sleeping in his car clearly caught him off guard.
The moment came during a recent interview with Complex, when White was asked about lightweight veteran Bobby “King” Green’s claim that he’s currently without a place to stay. White’s reaction made it clear this was the first he was hearing of it.
“How’s that possible? I have not heard that. I hope that’s not true,” White said. “He just competed, like, and he competed back-to-back recently, and he makes good money. I haven’t heard any of that, no. You’re dropping all kinds of news bombs on me today.”
White’s confusion is understandable given how Green’s year has gone. The 40-year-old has stayed busy inside the Octagon, comepting three times in 2026 and picking up a Performance of the Night bonus for his first-round finish of Terrance McKinney at UFC 329 in July. He’s also riding a four-bout winning streak, hardly the resume of someone struggling to make ends meet.
That’s what makes Green’s revelation so strange. On a recent Kick broadcast, the athlete explained that he owns nine houses, yet has nowhere of his own to sleep right now.
“I’ve been living in my car. I got like nine houses, but I’m homeless right now,” Green said. “All my homies live in all of my homes, so I’m living out of my car as we speak. It’s crazy, you know?”
According to Green, the arrangement traces back to a recent breakup rather than any financial trouble. He said he’d been staying with his girlfriend, and once that relationship ended, he found himself without a bed for the night, even with a small real estate portfolio to his name.
“I had a girlfriend at the time, so I was staying with my girlfriend… then we broke up a couple days ago,” Green said. “So, I’ll find a spot after this match. I’ll figure something out.”
Rather than framing it as a hardship, Green seemed almost matter-of-fact about the whole thing, treating it as one more unpredictable turn in a career full of them.
“It’s just a part of life, bro. And I just want to show people real life. I deal with stuff like this all the time,” he said.
Green is scheduled to face Esteban Ribovics at UFC 332 in October, and he’s made clear that sorting out his living situation will have to wait until after that match.
