UFC lightweight Esteban Ribovics can’t wait for his main card fight with Nasrat Haqparast at UFC Vegas 103 on Saturday night because it brings what he craves the most.
Violence.
“I knew it was going to be a good fight. We have similar styles. He likes to come forward as I do,” Ribovics told reporters on Wednesday.
“I hope he brings it on Saturday because I am truly ready to give 100%.”
Ribovics (14-1) comes off an incredible Fight Of The Night victory over Daniel Zellhuber at Noche UFC, UFC 306, last September. Zellhuber proved to be a very tough opponent to finish, but Ribovics will bring the same energy to this fight against Haqparast.
Haqparast has the clear experience advantage, but it’s not something Ribovics is hung up on as he’s just days away from facing off with him.
“He has a lot more fights than me, he has a lot more experience in the UFC, but I want the glory. I’m going for the glory, and besides the experience, I want it more than him,” he said.
“In my mind, knockout, I hope it happens that way. I’m looking for the knockout, I’m coming to kill or be killed, either way, but I’m giving my all.”
