16-year UFC veteran Edson Barboza is taking on Esteban Ribovics in the opening bout of the UFC 330 Main Card. This is Barboza’s 33rd fight in the UFC, and he is 18-14 in the promotion. Ribovics is coming off a loss to Mateusz Gamrot at UFC 327 and is looking to get back on track. The UFC 330 Main Card begins at 9:00 p.m. ET on Paramount+.
Check out my best bet below for Edson Barboza vs Esteban Ribovics at UFC 330.
Over 1.5 Rounds (-154)
Barboza, 40, is currently on a three-fight losing streak and hasn’t won since October 2023 when he beat Sodiq Yusuff. His last fight came against Jalin Turner at UFC 323 in December 2025. Coincidentally, Barboza headlined the last UFC card in Philadelphia against Justin Gaethje in March 2019.
When Ribovics made his UFC debut, he had tons of hype and was on a phenomenal win streak. From 2015 to 2022, Ribovics started his MMA career 11-0 with 11 finishes. Since then, he has gone 4-3 in the UFC. If Ribovics wants to continue climbing the Lightweight rankings, a win over the veteran Barboza is necessary.
Even though both fighters are coming off a loss, Ribovics is a heavy -700 favorite with Barboza being the underdog at +500 on DraftKings Sportsbook. This fight has an over/under of 1.5 rounds, with the over being -154 and the under being +120.
Three of Barboza’s previous four contests have lasted at least two rounds, and only two of his last 11 fights have ended in the first round. Also, three of Ribovics’ last four bouts have gone to a decision, and he has only one first-round finish in the UFC. With that being the case, I’m taking the over of 1.5 rounds at -154 in this contest.
