King Green vs. Esteban Ribovics squared off in a Lightweight bout earlier tonight (Sat., Oct. 3, 2026) inside Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah for UFC 332.
The fight began immediately, as Ribovich wasted no time in attacking Green. He landed too, scoring a cracking left hand in the opening 30 seconds of the fight. Green closed the distance and landed some hard shots in the clinch. Ribovics was throwing punches in bunches, though Green’s head movement kept him safe … for now. Green started to find
the mark with his jab.
Green’s success with his straight punching bought him more space to work. After freezing Ribovics with a feint, Green smashed him with a heavy right hand. Then, Ribovics fired an extended combo and floored Green! Green returned to his feet and was dropped a second time! Somehow, Green was still conscious, but when Ribovics sat him down a third time, referee Herb Dean had no choice but to intervene.
Green was still awake, but that’s too many knockdowns. Green talked his s—t to the bitter end.
It’s nice to have a grudge match live up to the hype! The duo traded hard shots for as long as the fight lasted. Afterward, Green and Ribovics quickly buried the hatchet. Green looked sharp for a while, but he was playing with fire against a dangerous young fighter motivated to take his head off. Eventually, Ribovics found the mark and never let Green back into the fight.
He’s now won two straight, whereas Green’s four-fight win streak comes to a dramatic conclusion.
Result: Ribovics defeats Green via knockout
