King Green and Esteban Ribovics in Altercation Following UFC 332 Weight Miss
King Green confronted Esteban Ribovics following Ribovics' failure to make weight for their scheduled lightweight bout at UFC 332.
A heated confrontation occurred outside the UFC 332 weigh-ins in Salt Lake City on Friday between lightweight competitors King Green and Esteban Ribovics. The tension stemmed from Ribovics failing to reach the 156-pound limit for his scheduled bout against Green. Footage of the incident showed Green, accompanied by boxer Arnold Barboza Jr., engaging in a verbal altercation with Ribovics after the weight miss was made official. Green expressed clear frustration regarding the weight discrepancy, escalating the situation before onlookers. While weight misses are not uncommon in professional mixed martial arts, the direct confrontation highlights the intensity surrounding Saturday’s card. The fight, which was slated to be a featured lightweight encounter, faced uncertainty following the failed weigh-in attempt. As of the time of reporting, there has been no official statement regarding the status of the bout or potential financial penalties incurred by Ribovics for the miss. Fantasy managers should monitor the official status of the fight closely before final rosters lock for the event, as weigh-in issues often lead to last-minute bout modifications or shifts in betting lines.
