UFC 282’s Alex Morono ‘very comfortable’ with Santiago Ponzinibbio’s style: We ‘kind of fight similarly’

LAS VEGAS – Alex Morono already has a good idea of what to expect from Santiago Ponzinibbio at UFC 282.

That’s because Morono (22-7 MMA, 11-4 UFC) already prepared for Ponzinibbio before when he helped his teammate Geoff Neal get ready to fight the Argentine at UFC 269 last December. Neal won the fight by split decision.

After serving as Neal’s main training partner for that fight, Morono feels confident when he gets his own shot at Ponzinibbio (28-6 MMA, 10-5 UFC) in Saturday’s main card at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN2 and early prelims on ESPN+.
