Francisco Trinaldo beat Bobby Green with a unanimous decision Saturday on the preliminary card at UFC on ESPN+ 22 in Sao Paulo.

Take a look inside the fight with Trinaldo, who got back in the win column after a decision loss to Alexander Hernandez in July.

Result: Francisco Trinaldo def. Bobby Green via unanimous decision (30-27, 29-28, 29-28)
Updated records: Trinaldo (24-7 MMA, 14-6 UFC), Green (24-10-1 MMA, 5-5-1 UFC)
Key stat: Green won the striking battle, 67-36, and had two takedowns – but Trinaldo got the decision.

Trinaldo on the fight’s key moment

“It was a good fight, a tough one. I didn’t expect his ground game. I actually trained more striking during my camp. But I am happy that I can leave with a win and once again here in Sao Paulo.”

Trinaldo on what he wants next

“I would like to face Edson Barboza next. He is the best muay Thai athlete in Brazil. I think it would be a great match.”
