Maurice Greene

Maurice Greene has transitioned from a renowned mixed martial artist, known as “The Crochet Boss,” to an actor and entrepreneur, leveraging his unique blend of toughness and creativity. After gaining national recognition on ‘The Ultimate Fighter 28: Heavy Hitters’ in 2017, where he advanced to the semi-finals, Maurice Greene launched a formidable professional mixed martial arts career. He debuted in 2012, quickly building a record of 5-2, and honed his skills at START Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Academy under Brock Larson. During his time on ‘The Ultimate Fighter 28,’ Greene won his quarter-finals bout via knockout against Przemyslaw Mysiala in 2018.

In 2020, he secured an arm-triangle choke submission win against Gian Villante at UFC on ESPN: Poirier vs. Hooker. Following his departure from the UFC in 2021, Greene continued his competitive journey, securing a technical submission win against Danyelle Williams at CES 68 in 2022. Expanding his formidable combat sports resume, Greene joined the Professional Fighters League (PFL), where he secured a TKO victory against Marcelo Nunes at PFL 2 in 2023.

His distinctive nickname, ‘The Crochet Boss,’ stems from this creative pursuit, which has been featured on national television shows including ‘To Tell The Truth’ and ‘The Tamron Hall Show.’ An accomplished entrepreneur, Greene is actively developing plans to launch a formal branded fashion line, further integrating his diverse interests and creative vision.
