Esteban Riabovics is in good company after he continued his lucrative run in the Octagon on UFC Vegas 108.
The UFC fighting evening on Saturday in the top had a line-up with a shortage of star force criticized in the run-up, but it was still not a shortage of action.
What the card missed in name value that made up for it with a number of memorable fights and finishes. And among the responsible men was Ribovics, an always entertaining lightweight that joined an exclusive club with his latest triumph on the Apex.
Esteban Riabovics followed in the footsteps of Nate Diaz and Justin Gaethje with third straight photo bonus
UFC Vegas 108 saw Ribovics waging war with Elves Brener on the main map. After three rounds of fascinating and brutal action at the top, many remained about the match of the couple in fight against the year.
With that in mind it was not surprising to see the pair run away with an extra $ 50,000 each after collecting the fight from the Night Honors. That has certainly not been a new feeling for Ribovics.
The Argentinian Brawler has now collected three photos awards in a row. Ribovics' split decision -making atmosphere victory over Daniel Zellhuber last September and close defeat on the score cards to Nasrat Haqparast last March also saw 'El Gringo' running away with some extra money.
The achievement of that performance has placed Ribovics under some of the all-time entertainers of the UFC. Nate Diaz, Diego Sanchez, Justin Gaethje and Brian Ortega are some of the names that have achieved three straight photo bonuses.
UFC Vegas 108 still had a rare moment after two matchups had claimed pictures
When it comes to leaving the Apex $ 50k richer courtesy of photn checks, Ribovics and Brener were not alone.
The promotion gave the honor to two attacks, after the exciting Co-Main event between Chris Duncan and Mateusz Rebecki was also recognized as one of the best leftovers of the year to date.
The victory of that fight was the Scotsman, whose decision victory in an absolute massacre in Las Vegas expanded its wintreak to three.
There were different types of fireworks in the main event, with Tatsuro Taira Hyun Sung Park only 66 seconds in round two. But the Japanese star missed an implementation bonus after the UFC had chosen to give only the two photo prices for UFC Vegas 108.
