Esteban Ribovics Delivers a Classic in UFC Vegas 108 War
If you missed UFC Vegas 108, you really missed something special—because Argentina’s Esteban Ribovics just gave us another classic. On Saturday night at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Ribovics threw down in an absolute war with Brazil’s Elves Brener. And even though there wasn’t a crowd in the building, this one felt like it should’ve been in front of 20,000 roaring fans.
Ribovics and Brener went full throttle for three nonstop rounds, landing an identical 123 strikes each. That stat alone says a lot, but it doesn’t even begin to capture the intensity. The final seconds of the fight were wild—they just stood and traded punches until the horn blew. No backing down, no clinching, just pure heart and violence. Ribovics edged it out with four more significant strikes and got the unanimous decision win. That brought his record to an impressive 15-2, and it’s clear he’s becoming a can't-miss fighter every time he steps into the Octagon.

And this isn’t even the first time he’s done this. Ribovics also delivered a Fight of the Year contender at UFC 306 at the Sphere last September. Now he's done it again—but this time, it was inside the UFC Apex. And fans aren’t having it.
After the fight, social media lit up with reactions. The most common sentiment? “Get him out of the Apex.” One fan said, “Esteban Ribovics needs to fight in front of a crowd the rest of his career.” Another wrote, “The fights and fighters are great. They should be fighting in an arena.” And honestly, it’s hard to argue with that. Ribovics brings excitement, intensity, and crowd-friendly action every time. He deserves a bigger stage.
As for the rest of UFC Vegas 108, it was a wild night all around. Neil Magny tied for second-most wins in UFC history. Austin Bashi, a promising newcomer and teammate of Diego Lopes, picked up his first UFC win to go 14-1. And the co-main event? Another banger. Poland’s Mateusz Rebecki and Scotland’s Chris Duncan beat each other up for three rounds, with Duncan getting the win but both men leaving with swollen, bloody faces.
Bottom line—UFC Vegas 108 may have happened in a small venue, but it delivered big. Especially thanks to Esteban Ribovics, who continues to prove he’s one of the most exciting lightweights on the roster. Now, let’s just hope the UFC listens and puts him on a bigger stage next time.
