Before it’s all said and done, Santiago Ponzinibbio wants to fight again on home soil. The veteran welterweight is hoping the UFC revisits Argentina in the future so he can get a chance to fight in front of his people.
“Of course, that’s a dream of mine,” Ponzinibbio told MMA Junkie in Spanish. “That’s always brought up whenever I have the opportunity to talk to the people from the company, and that’s always in my plans, so we’ll see when things line up for it to come together.”
Ponzinibbio (29-7 MMA, 11-6 UFC) got to do just that almost five years ago at the height of his best UFC run. He got to headline UFC Fight Night 140 in Buenos Aires against Neil Magny. That night, Ponzinibbio knocked out Magny to extend his winning streak to seven in a row.
