Form & Styles

Stephens has long traded on power, his knockout tally accounting for the bulk of his wins, though durability and offence have ebbed as the miles accumulate. Green stands three centimetres taller at 178 cm, works orthodox, and carries a more varied arsenal—his nine submission wins suggest comfort on the mat and a willingness to adapt mid-fight. Stephens' absence of listed reach and stance data leaves some tactical questions, but his reputation as a heavy-handed brawler remains his calling card.

Prediction

The market backs Green as favourite, and his dimensions plus submission threat give him clearer paths to victory against an opponent in the twilight of a long career. Stephens' knockout power still offers a puncher's chance, yet the wider skill set and reach advantage should allow Green to control range and dictate pace over the distance. That said, at this level and this age, one clean exchange can rewrite any script—fights are never fought on paper.
