Esteban Ribovics is leaving nothing to chance as he readies for his upcoming lightweight matchup against veteran King Green at UFC 332. The event is scheduled to take place on Oct. 3 at Delta Center in Salt Lake City, a location known for its challenging high altitude.
To counter the elevation in Utah, the Argentine fighter revealed that he undertook extensive preparation back home and upon arrival. Ribovics detailed in a pre-fight interview that he slept in a chamber designed to simulate lower oxygen levels for several weeks. In addition, the 16-3 lightweight arrived in Salt Lake City 10 days early to acclimate and has been running in the surrounding mountains, stating that his body has responded well to the rigorous regimen.
Ribovics enters the contest fresh off a victory over Edson Barboza, which got him back on track following a submission defeat to Mateusz Gamrot. Facing a fellow striker in Green (36-17-1), Ribovics is anticipating an action-packed encounter and openly targeting a performance bonus. He hopes an impressive display will pave the way toward a matchup against a ranked lightweight contender in the near future.
