Responsible for one of the biggest victories at UFC St. Louis, Esteban Ribovics didn't hold back when expressing frustration at not receiving a 'Performance of the Night' bonus after knocking out terrance mckinney. Aware of the size of his achievement, the Argentine regretted the absence of 250 thousand reais more in his bank account, but showed optimism that he will be rewarded in the future.

“I couldn't believe it. What else did I need to do? I'm not going to say it was a boring event up until that point, because there were good fights, but there wasn't the excitement of a knockout like that until my fight. Obviously, I was a little disappointed, but other good things will come from this knockout. I’m sure I’ll have more opportunities to prove that I deserve a bonus,” said Ribovics in an interview with MMAJunkie.
