Esteban Ribovics dismantled King Green with a relentless left hand to earn a first-round TKO at UFC 332, with referee Herb Dean stepping in at 4:08 to end the lightweight contest. The Argentine landed multiple knockdowns before the stoppage, capping a dominant performance that continued his rise through the division.

Ribovics came out aggressively from the opening bell, immediately finding a home for a powerful left hand that Green had no answer for. Green — known for his unorthodox, hands-down style — attempted to use his footwork and outside kicks to keep Ribovics at distance, but the pressure proved relentless. Two knockdowns arrived in quick succession, and Ribovics never let Green recover, following up with further left hands that put the veteran back on the canvas. Dean had seen enough.

Speaking to the crowd after the fight, Ribovics was candid about missing weight ahead of the bout. “I’m sorry I missed weight,” he said. “Next time I’m going to be more professional. I trained for that. I train every day. To bring violence to the octagon. I have my wedding in one month … I’m ready for the next.”

The win marks back-to-back stoppage victories over established lightweight names for Ribovics, who previously finished Edson Barboza. Defeating two fighters of that calibre in consecutive outings places him firmly in the conversation for a ranked opponent as he looks to build momentum heading into 2027.
