Esteban 'El Gringo' Ribovics is a 30-year-old Argentine lightweight fighting out of Kill Cliff FC, known for relentless output and a Fight of the Year-caliber battle with Daniel Zellhuber in 2024. He rebounded from an April 2026 submission loss to Mateusz Gamrot with a first-round knockout of Edson Barboza at UFC 330, and now meets one of the division's most experienced veterans in King Green. Ribovics weighed in at 156.5 pounds, half a pound over the lightweight non-title limit, the only miss among 28 fighters at UFC 332 weigh-ins; the bout proceeds at a catchweight with Ribovics forfeiting 20 percent of his purse to Green.
