King Green is wasting no time plotting his next move after a dominant performance at UFC 328. The veteran lightweight submitted Jeremy Stephens with a first-round rear-naked choke at the Prudential Center in Newark, but his victory speech made it clear he's already got his sights set on a bigger prize: Renato "Moicano" Carneiro.

Green's win was particularly sweet given that Stephens missed weight by four pounds, forfeiting nearly 30% of his purse to the 39-year-old. But instead of dwelling on that, Green turned his attention to Moicano, who had apparently been calling him old. "I know Moicano was calling me the old man," Green told reporter Megan Olivi. "So I was like, 'Maybe he wants to fight. Who is he calling old? I'll give you a grandpa ass whooping.' If he wants a name, I'm the name for you, brother."

The timing couldn't be better for this matchup. Green (35-17) is riding a three-fight winning streak with two finishes, showing he's far from past his prime. Meanwhile, Moicano (21-7) is coming off a submission win over Chris Duncan last month, though he's still looking to bounce back from a failed title bid against Islam Makhachev and a subsequent loss to Beneil Dariush. Both fighters are at a crucial crossroads in their careers, making this a potential fan favorite for fight fans who love high-stakes lightweight action.

With Green's momentum and Moicano's recent resurgence, this bout could be the perfect headliner for a future Fight Night or a stacked pay-per-view undercard. One thing's for sure: if this fight gets booked, don't expect either man to take a step back.
