While there was plenty of spectacle outside at UFC 306 due to the Sphere’s incredible display, lightweights Esteban Ribovics and Daniel Zellhuber made sure what happened inside the Octagon was just as memorable by putting on the best round of mixed martial arts in 2024.
Argentina’s Ribovics and Mexico’s Zellhuber were a welcome addition to the UFC 306 main card on Sept. 14 in Las Vegas, but with two title fights atop the card, very few would have pointed to it being their most anticipated clash. However, both men put on a spectacular showing in a back-and-forth battle that started off great and ended in dramatic fashion, with Zellhuber knocking down his opponent with a brutal elbow and Ribovics showing tremendous heart by getting back up and smashing “Golden Boy” with a right hand.
