Rafael Dos Anjos & Santiago Ponzinibbio clearly want to fight each other after yet another heated exchange through the power of social media. This isn’t the first time that these two stars traded words. Now, it just appears that it’s a matter of time before they step into the Octagon and settle their differences.

The only difference between now and a few months ago is the fact that Dos Anjos suffered a loss, which came to top contender Kamaru Usman. On the flip side, Ponzinibbio is fresh off a highlight-reel knockout victory over Neil Magny.

Ponzinibbio’s most recent call-out has led to RDA firing back with some words on Twitter.

The exchanged led to both stars using Portuguese and English, which saw the former UFC lightweight champ fire back at him after being referred to as “diva.”

A user on the social media platform brought up Curitiba, which is reportedly being targeted to host an event in May by the UFC. Ponzinibbio made it known that he likes the idea of fighting in Brazil. The former champ stated that “it could even be at UFC Fortaleza in three weeks.”

Ponzinibbio didn’t oppose the idea but left the choice of time and place to RDA. Time will tell whether this fight gets booked.

On a recent episode of his podcast longtime UFC color commentator, Joe Rogan revealed the UFC is working on a better glove design right now.

During his most recent Fight Companion Podcast for UFC Beijing, Rogan revealed the promotion is making a change to their fingerless gloves. Brendan Schaub, one of the co-hosts brought up the topic of eye pokes. And how Neil Magny partially blamed an eye poke for his performance against Santiago Ponzinibbio.

”That’s a real problem man, and there is a solution in the works,” Joe said. “I can’t talk about it, I’m sworn to secrecy.”

”Goggles!” Schaub suggested. (What?)

”They have a better glove design that they’re working on right now,” Rogan revealed. “That someone is working on. I can’t say anything. I’ve already said too much.”

The main design flaw in the current UFC glove is the shape. That is most MMA gloves have a rounded pad that helps keep the fingers curled. However, the UFC gloves, as they currently exist now are stiff and rigid. They help pull the hand open leaving the fingers extended. This obviously leads to more eye pokes.

Regardless, if a new glove is on the way and it takes into account the curvature of most other MMA gloves. Then this is great news for fighters and fans alike.
