Santiago Ponzinibbio went into his second-ever Ultimate Fighting Championship main event with more on the line than ever. Fighting in his home country in the promotion’s inaugural event in Argentina, Ponzinibbio on Saturday at UFC Fight Night 140 put his six-fight winning streak at risk against the Top 10-ranked Neil Magny after almost a yearlong playoff. To the cheers of the Buenos Aires crowd, “Gente Boa” bartered Magny for four rounds before scoring a late knockout. The win extended Ponzinibbio’s run of consecutive victories to seven, and he made it clear that he believed he was in the running for a shot at the welterweight title.
