Esteban Ribovics is not too happy with how things went down in his last UFC fight, but feels he’ll get an opportunity to redeem himself in the near future.
Ribovics (14-2 MMA, 3-2 UFC) came up short in a split decision against Nasrat Haqparast (18-5 MMA, 10-4 UFC) at UFC Fight Night 253 in March. Although they won Fight of the Night and each fighter took home an extra $50,000 bonus, the Argentinian is not happy with the whole experience.
“I’m a bit bitter to have lost because losing is never good, but I know I trained hard, and I put on a show,” Ribovics told MMA Junkie in Spanish. “It could’ve gone either way. He was maybe a bit superior in the judges’ eyes, and you have to accept it. Fighting the decision and being upset at it, I’m not going to solve anything, so head held up high, and I’m going to come back stronger.”
