Two of the talented UFC welterweight division’s most dangerous contenders locked horns when Santiago Ponzinibbio met Mike “Platinum” Perry on the main card of tonight’s (Sat., December 16, 2017) UFC on FOX 26 from the Bell MTS Place in Winnipeg, Canada.

It was billed as an entertaining “Fight of the Night” candidate, and the bout delivered early with Perry landing some big, thudding shots early while “Gente Boa” stayed more technical on the outside with his footwork and accurate jabs.

Perry landed his trademark power shots in the second as well, and indeed Ponznibbio appeared to be in early trouble in the frame. But Ponzinibbio was able to keep up a high pace of low kicks, following it up with some great left hooks, combinations, and a spinning backfist. Perry was in trouble but fought back with big shots at the very end of the frame as it evolved into an all-out war.

The third saw “Platinum” land a good jab to which Ponzinibbio responded with a few of his own. Perry poured it on with a huge shot that rocked Ponzinibbio, but “Gente Boa” dropped him with a picture-perfect spinning backfist to score a much-needed takedown. Perry got up but Ponzinibbio pressed the action against the cage and took Perry down again. The Brazilian contender closed it out with a flurry including a big head kick, and the judges ruled the bout a unanimous decision in favor of Ponzinibbio.

Watch the highlights of his latest win including the vicious backfist right here:

Darren Till Guarantees He’d KO Robbie Lawler & Rafael Dos Anjos

In the main event of tomorrow night’s (Dec. 16, 2017) UFC on FOX 26, welterweight standouts Robbie Lawler and Rafael dos Anjos will do battle with the winner putting himself into a position to earn a shot at the 170-pound title.

One rising contender doesn’t seem to be too worried with the presence of Lawler or dos Anjos, however.

Recently speaking with MMAFighting.com, Darren Till said that he’d ‘f*cking knock’ dos Anjos ‘straight out’:

“Dos Anjos is too small,” Till said. “He’s just too small. How the f*ck could he fight me? He’s too small. He’ll be going back down to lightweight soon. I’d f*ckin’ knock him straight out in one round. I would f*ckin’ burst his face open.”

As far as Lawler goes, Till went as far to say that he’d end the former champion’s career:

“I’d do the same to him,” Till said of Lawler. “I’d burst him. He’s too stupid to fight someone like me. We know he can’t take punches, so he definitely doesn’t want to be taking left hands off me. I’ll end his career.”

Coming off of a brutal first-round stoppage victory over Donald Cerrone earlier this year, Till has established himself as a legitimate contender, and he certainly has a lot of options awaiting him in regards to his next fight, although he knows he’s not worthy of a title shot just yet.

There were rumors indicating that his next fight could take place against former title challenger Stephen Thompson, although Till claims that Thompson’s team is ‘scared’. The Liverpool native also expressed interest in fighting Jorge Masvidal:

“Wonderboy’s Dad is scared of me so that’s not going to happen,” Till said. “I’d love to fight Masvidal too, he’s a great competitor. I’m not worthy of a title shot just yet. I know I’m going to be champion, but I haven’t earned that fight.

“There are a lot of options, so it’s going to exciting to see what happens next year and to see what route my career goes down. Everyone wants to fight Darren Till now. There must be something in the air because everyone is calling me out now.”

It’s also possible that Till could take on the winner of tomorrow’s bout between Santiago Ponzinibbio and Mike Perry.

Who would you like to see him face next?
