Hailing from Argentina, lightweight athlete Esteban Ribovics trains out of the Kill Cliff FC gym. He launched his professional career in 2015, primarily fighting across South America for the first several years. While building his resume, he claimed interim championship belts in both the FFC and Samurai Fight House organizations. The orthodox striker earned his spot on the current roster after delivering a knockout performance on Dana White's Contender Series in the summer of 2022.

Ribovics enters this bout holding a 12-1-0 professional record. He most recently secured a unanimous decision victory over Kamuela Kirk in July 2023, which followed his lone promotional loss to Loik Radzhabov earlier that spring. His track record also features a knockout win against Thomas Paull, as well as previous stoppage victories over Javier Basurto and Franco Aranda.
