King Green’s recent run of success came to an end earlier tonight (Sat., Oct. 3, 2026) at UFC 332 LIVE on Paramount+/CBS at the Delta Center in Salt Lake City, Utah, as the 40-year-old veteran suffered three losses en route to Esteban Ribovics.
This fight quickly turned into a grudge match during fight week. The two lightweights duked it out on the mic during Thursday’s pre-fight press conference and nearly came to blows on Friday after Ribovics’ weigh-in error. Green came into this weekend riding a four-fight winning streak and was hoping to use a win over Ribovics to jump into BMF title contention. It didn’t work out exactly as planned for the aging veteran.
Green did some nice damage early, but every time Ribovics pressed forward and landed more than a few punches in a row, he landed. That didn’t stop Green from keeping his head up and his hands down, leading to a three-count on Ribovics. The latter was enough for referee Herb Dean to intervene in the stoppage, even though Green acted like he was fine.
