UTICA, N.Y. – Desmond Green felt the pressure of his two-fight losing streak going into his UFC Fight Night 131 bout with Gleison Tibau. He managed to bounce back with a win, though, and put himself back on track. Green (21-7 MMA, 2-2 UFC) knows three consecutive octagon defeats would have put his position with the company in jeopardy. He didn’t think he was deserving of the losses in that skid, but nevertheless knew he had to get it done against Tibau (33-14 MMA, 16-12 UFC). Green managed to beat the Brazilian veteran by unanimous decision on Friday’s card, which aired on FS1 following early prelims on UFC Fight Pass at Adirondack Bank Center in Utica, N.Y
