Every fight night promises fireworks — but Esteban Ribovics and Elves Brener actually delivered them at UFC Vegas 108. The two lightweights went toe‑to‑toe for three insane rounds, with Ribovics pulling out a unanimous decision in a scrap fans are already calling a “Fight of the Year” candidate.
Ribovics set the tone from the start, coming out fast and letting his hands go. Heavy combos cracked Brener early, and every takedown attempt got stuffed. The jab was snapping, the right hand was finding its home, and body shots stacked up damage. But Brener didn’t fold — he hacked away at Ribovics’ lead leg and slipped in sharp counters that made the Argentine think twice.
The tide turned in Round 2. Brener found his rhythm, blasting clean head kicks and hooks that rattled Ribovics. A body kick followed by a flurry had the Argentine briefly on shaky legs, and a cut opened over his eye as the fight turned gritty and bloody.
Then came Round 3 — the kind of round that gets replayed for years. Both men bit down on the mouthpiece and threw fire. Ribovics kept pressing forward, throwing over 300 significant strikes across the fight, while Brener answered with spinning attacks and a wheel kick that just missed by inches. Ribovics’ relentless pace and defense — stuffing all nine takedown tries — finally broke through.
When it was over, the judges went Ribovics’ way, sealing another big win and cementing him as one of the most entertaining lightweights in the UFC. Social media lit up right after, with fighters and fans praising both men for a wild, high‑paced war.
