UFC welterweight Santiago Ponzinibbio has come to the defense of fellow Argentinian Lionel Messi, following boxing star Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez’s outburst towards the footballer.

Canelo had some strong words for Messi after seeing his locker room celebration

While it’s never good to hear that one of the greatest boxers in the world is after you, Messi will at least have some comfort knowing Santiago Ponzinibbio has his back.
Talking to MMAFighting, Santiago Ponzinibbio would come to the defense of his countryman, saying that ‘Canelo’ should fight him instead of the ‘respectful’ Messi.
“I was pissed,” Ponzinibbio said. “No point threatening Messi. Everybody knows Messi’s career. If [Alvarez] doesn’t know he shouldn’t say a thing. It’s normal for players to throw jerseys on the ground, they are all sweaty, but he didn’t do anything disrespectful. Everybody that knows Messi knows he’s an impeccable athlete and a very respectful person.”
[Messi] had an excellent match,” Ponzinibbio continued. “I was upset. Brother, if you want to fight, I’m ready, but leave Messi be. You mess with Messi, you mess with the entire Argentina. Don’t bother the kid.” (H/T MMAFighting)
Ponzinibbio is set to face former UFC champion Robbie Lawler on the undercard of UFC 282, which should make for an exciting matchup. The 36-year-old will also be hoping to get back to winning ways following two back-to-back split decision losses.
As for Messi, he and the Argentinian national team will hope to make it to the knockout stages of the world cup, taking on Poland in an important tomorrow night.

Jake Matthews has called for a battle against Santiago Ponzinibbio.
This past weekend, Jake Matthews secured the biggest win of his career against Andre Fialho at UFC 275. The difference in the striking abilities between the pair was evident with Matthews showing an exemplary display of boxing. He knocked down Fialho before finishing him in the second round.
Coming off the biggest win of his career, ‘The Celtic Kid’ is looking to challenge himself opposite another high-level striker in the division. Following an impressive run of seven wins in his last nine in the UFC, Matthews is looking to take on Santiago Ponzinibbio to get closer to the welterweight gold.
In a post shared on his Instagram, Matthews called out the Argentine.
“PLEASE SHARE AND SPREAD THE WORD
@sponzinibbiomma It would be an honour!
Let’s stand toe to toe for the fans! @ufc @ufcanz“
Matthews earned a Performance of the Night bonus for dispatching Fialho by knockout. He went a step further and offered to give Ponzinibbio half the bonus he expects to win if the outing goes as expected.
Matthews came in as a big underdog in his lastest bout and cashed in with a win. He wants to prove that his victory was not a fluke and that his performance has leveled up.
Ponzinibbio is reeling off two consecutive losses by a split decision. He dropped one to Geoff Neal and then Michel Pereira in his most recent fight at UFC Fight Night 206. He expressed his disappointment with the results and believed that he was unfairly treated by the judges on both occasions.
Before his win over Fialho this past Saturday, Matthews was coming off more than a year-long layoff following a defeat to Sean Brady by submission last March. Matthews is still only 27 despite joining the UFC roster in 2014 and has a good amount of experience under his belt at a young age.
