Esteban Ribovics Stops King Green in First Round at UFC 332

Esteban Ribovics delivered an emphatic performance on Saturday, defeating veteran King Green via first-round stoppage in their lightweight matchup at UFC 332.

The contest began with intense action following back-and-forth tension between the fighters leading into the event. Green initially attempted to manage distance from the outside with fast kicks and straight punches while maintaining his signature low-hands posture. However, Ribovics quickly found his range, unleashing a devastating left hand that dropped Green to the canvas twice in rapid succession.

Ribovics maintained his aggressive assault, tagging Green again with a series of left hands that sent the veteran down once more. With Green absorbing repeated knockdowns, referee Herb Dean stepped in to halt the bout at 4:08 of the opening round to prevent further damage.

“Next time I’m going to be more professional. I have my wedding in one month … I’m ready for the next,” Ribovics said after the fight. The victory marks consecutive stoppage wins over prominent veterans for Ribovics, who also defeated Edson Barboza in his previous appearance.
