Because his favourite food is protein. Listen to what the dude eats for breakfast: "I generally start my day the night before when I make my green smoothie and protein shake for the following day. I wake up at 5.30am and go to the gym..." All that clean eating has to count for something, right?
Because he'll be so busy posing for selfies, he'll forget about the match at hand. If you haven't seen his Instagram account, Green is a big fan of the shirtless selfie. And how can he resist taking at least one when he's in the ring?
Because - ugh - that body. He's been training. A lot.
Because he really doesn't want to be hit in the head. "Not the hair! Not the face!" he'll yell, before running screaming out of the ring and into the arms of his girlfriend, Matilda Rice, who'll be armed with extra product.
Because Zac Guildford will be blinded by all the paparazzi cameras flashing ringside. That'll let Art get a few cheap shots in.
Because Zac Guildford trains to play professional rugby. Art Green trains for the beach.
Because what's one former All Black player when you took on 21 super-strong Kiwi females in a reality show and survived?
Because Art ate a burger once.
