Santiago Ponzinibbio Wants Title Shot By Defeating Neil Magny

Rising UFC welterweight contender Santiago Ponzinibbio wants a 170-pound title opportunity with a win over Neil Magny in Argentina.

The post Santiago Ponzinibbio Wants Title Shot By Defeating Neil Magny appeared first on LowKickMMA.com.

Santiago Ponzinibbio has quite the task ahead of him at UFC Argentina tomorrow night (Sat. November 17, 2018).

The Argentinian will headline UFC Fight Night 140 opposite Neil Magny. It will be his first time headlining a UFC card in front of his fellow countrymen. Ponzinibbio is currently on a six-fight win streak inside the Octagon.

He hasn’t lost since being finished by Lorenz Larkin back in 2015. With wins against the likes of Mike Perry and Gunnar Nelson under his belt, a win over Magny could do good for Ponzinibbio’s title aspirations. He spoke with MMA Junkie recently about the matter.

The 32-year-old believes that a win over Magny would make him deserving of a 170-pound title opportunity:

“If I win this fight, it will be seven wins in a row, 15 fights for the company, amounting to a total of 13 wins, numerous knockouts,” Ponzinibbio said. “I would be ready to fight for a title. I would deserve it, I would be ready.”

However, Ponzinibbio knows that it’s not that simple. The likelihood of him receiving a title shot with a win over Magny this weekend is slim. With that being said, Ponzinibbio said he’s prepared to fight anyone the UFC puts in front of him after this weekend:

“I know this may or may not happen, because there’s no exact math or logic in the UFC,” Ponzinibbio said. “So, now my title shot is Neil Magny. I have to beat him.

“That’s my goal. I will win this fight and then I’ll focus on my next step. Whether it’s a title or another opponent, that’s how it goes. There’s no way around it.”

Santiago Ponzinibbio Claims Rafael Dos Anjos Avoided Fighting Him

Santiago Ponzinibbio thinks RDA declined this fight out of fear.

The post Santiago Ponzinibbio Claims Rafael Dos Anjos Avoided Fighting Him appeared first on LowKickMMA.com.

Santiago Ponzinibbio claims Rafael Dos Anjos avoided fighting him at an upcoming UFC event out of fear of what might happen.

Dos Anjos was last seen in the Octagon in Chicago at UFC 225 where he lost a unanimous decision to Colby Covington in an interim title fight. Before this fight, had won three consecutive fights over Tarec Saffiedine, Neil Magny and Robbie Lawler. This was all after moving up to welterweight last year. After this fight, He underwent ear surgery.

Santiago Ponzinibbio Makes Statement

Ponzinibbio recently did an interview with AG Fight that the former UFC lightweight champion had a chance to fight him. However, RDA declined to fight him UFC Argentina inside the Estadio Mary Teran de Weiss in Buenos Aires, Argentina on Nov. 17.

This event is an important one as Ponzinibbio will have the chance to showcase his skills in his home country. Now, Ponzinibbio will fight Neil Magny at the show.

Regarding, RDA, he has made it known that he isn’t interested in traveling overseas for his fights anymore. The reason for this is due to him living in the United States and not wanting to leave his family.

“They told me nobody wanted to fight me in Argentina. That the only one who accepted was Magny,” the rising prospect stated (via Bloody Elbow). “I’m certain (Rafael dos Anjos avoided the fight out of fear). A fight against Dos Anjos in Argentina made total sense. The UFC offered him, but he declined.”

Although the UFC did offer RDA the fight, the former champion refused and the only fighter to step up was Magny.

“They tried a didn’t offer and he still refused. So I’m sure he avoided me. The UFC told me that the only top-10 guy who accepted to fight me in Argentina was Magny.”

RDA also has his next fight booked as he’ll fight Kamaru Usman in the main event for the upcoming TUF 28 Finale event.
