Esteban Ribovics Misses Weight Ahead of UFC 332
Lightweight fighter Esteban Ribovics was the only athlete to miss weight at the official UFC 332 weigh-ins, coming in at 156.5 pounds.
Official weigh-ins for UFC 332 concluded on Friday at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, setting the stage for a busy fight card featuring 28 athletes. While the vast majority of the roster successfully met their contractual obligations, lightweight competitor Esteban Ribovics was the lone exception on the scale.
Ribovics checked in at 156.5 pounds for his scheduled bout against King Green. The measurement leaves him 0.5 pounds over the non-title lightweight limit. As of the time of the weigh-ins, officials have not disclosed the specific financial or regulatory penalties regarding the missed weight, though such infractions typically involve a percentage of the fighter's purse being forfeited to their opponent.
The remainder of the card, including the vacant flyweight title bout between Natalia Silva and Wang Cong, proceeded as planned without any additional issues at the scale. The event is slated to take place Saturday at the Delta Center.
