LiontipsEsteban Ribovich - Edson Barbosa: betting tip (cf 3.55) and bets on the fight
Command Analysis
Current form
Esteban Ribovich faced Mateusz Gamrot in his last fight in April and lost in the second round by submission — strangulation with a hand triangle. The 30-year-old Argentine confidently dealt with Elvis Brener before meeting the Pole, taking the victory by unanimous decision.
His main weapon is constant pressure and a variety of stand—up work. Ribovich is able to attack from both positions, regularly changes the position of his legs and, thanks to this, creates serious problems for his opponent with the choice of distance. Ribovich has 15 wins: seven by knockout, three by decision, five more by submission and three defeats.
Current form
Edson Barbosa is one of the most recognizable veterans of the UFC. The 40-year-old Brazilian has been in the organization for about 15 years and managed to hold 32 fights in the Dana White league, suffering 14 defeats. Barbosa's main calling card has always remained unchanged — incredibly dangerous striking techniques and especially footwork. However, age makes itself felt. Now the career of the most experienced veteran is going through a difficult period. Barbosa lost his last three fights. In December 2025, he suffered an early defeat from Jalen Turner, missing the decisive blow in the first round. Before that, the Brazilian lost on points to Drakkar Klose and Leron Murphy.

Tip and bets
At the best of times, Barbosa could completely turn the tide of a duel with a single kick. But now we are no longer facing the same athlete who once made almost any opponent fear him. Ribovich is younger, more active and looks noticeably better in terms of pace. The Argentine is able to maintain a high volume of striking work throughout the fight, and constant changes of stance and a variety of kicking attacks can seriously complicate Barbosa's life.
Our betting tip is Ribovich's victory on points in 3.55
