A lightweight showdown pitting Terrance
McKinney against Esteban
Ribovics is on tap for an
Ultimate Fighting Championship event on May 11.
Ribovics confirmed the booking on social media following an initial
report from ESPN KnockOut commentator Gaston
Reyno. The UFC Fight Night event doesn’t currently have an
announced location or headliner.
McKinney is coming off back-to-back first-round technical knockout
victories over Mike
Breeden and Brendon
Marotte in the second half of 2023. The Spokane, Washington,
native is 5-3 during his tenure with the Las Vegas-based promotion,
with all of his triumphs coming inside of a round.
Argentina’s Ribovics is 1-1 in the Octagon following a first-round
knockout of Thomas
Paull on Dana White’s Contender Series in August 2022. After
dropping a decision against Loik
Radzhabov in his promotional debut at UFC 285, “El Gringo”
rebounded to outpoint Kamuela
Kirk at UFC 290 in his most recent appearance.
