Santiago Ponzinibbio says Rafael dos Anjos declined UFC Buenos Aires main event against him

Santiago Ponzinibbio didn’t exactly expect Neil Magny to be his next opponent in the Octagon.

Currently on a six-fight winning streak, with three knockouts, the 32-year-old hoped to be matched up with a top 5 name in the welterweight division, but didn’t get his wishes.

In a recent interview for Ag Fight, a disappointed Ponzinibbio claimed that his last couple of wins didn’t get him the challenge the was expecting, even though he says the UFC told him they would pair him up with a top 5 fighter.

“Yes (I deserved a better name than Magny),” Ponzinibbio said.
