Esteban Ribovics Achieves 20-Pound Weight Cut Ahead of UFC 330

Esteban Ribovics has made headlines by cutting 20 pounds in just 48 hours to qualify for UFC 330, where he will face Edson Barboza in Philadelphia.

Ribovics revealed during fight week that he needed to shed this significant weight before the weigh-ins, a feat reminiscent of Paddy Pimblett's notorious weight cuts. He successfully weighed in at 156 pounds, the limit for non-title lightweight bouts.

This achievement comes after Ribovics missed a chance for title contention earlier this year, losing to Mateusz Gamrot at UFC 327. He has four wins in the Octagon, including notable victories over Terrance McKinney and other rising prospects.
