in another really competitive contender for the LowKick MMA Fight of the Year 2024 award — a memorable three round banger between Daniel Zellhuber and Estaban Ribovics, which beat out the symbolic BMF title fight between Justin Gaethje and Max Holloway earlier this annum at UFC 300.
Featuring as a potential eye-catching fight on the massive Noche UFC card in September from the jaw-dropping Las Vegas Sphere, the above-mentioned duo of Zellhuber and Ribovics would share the Octagon on the main card of the flagship UFC 306 card.
And while eagle-eyed fans anticipated a close back-and-forth between two lightweight talents, both Zellhuber and Ribovics would trade leather on cue throughout their 15-minute limit at Noche UFC — with the latter running out as a close split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28) winner — handing the Mexican just his second Octagon defeat and snapping his impressive winning run.
