· VILLAND PICK editorial
King Green and Esteban Ribovics clashed on the main card of UFC 332 at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City. The scheduled lightweight contest was officially shifted to a catchweight bout after Ribovics weighed in 0.5 pounds over the divisional limit, resulting in a penalty of 20 percent of his fight purse.
The 40-year-old Green (36-17-1, 1 NC) entered the cage for his 32nd UFC appearance, having already accumulated 17 victories inside the octagon. The veteran has experienced a notable career resurgence, riding a four-fight winning streak featuring stoppage victories over Terrance McKinney, Jeremy Stephens, and Daniel Zellhuber. This run represents Green's longest win streak since 2014, when he put together eight consecutive victories across Strikeforce and the UFC.
Ribovics (16-3) entered his eighth UFC appearance holding a reputation for high-octane action. The Argentine fighter previously captured three consecutive Fight of the Night bonuses in bouts against Elves Brener, Nasrat Haqparast, and Zellhuber. He made a quick turnaround for UFC 332 following a second-round knockout victory over veteran Edson Barboza at UFC 330 in August.
