This sport is so unpredictable. Santiago was just a few years ago a top contender and now he doesn’t seem to be on anyone’s radar. I really hope he can bounce back! We all love great comeback stories: Oliveira and Jan are prime examples of such stories.
Only reason he isn’t on anyone’s radar is because his had a 3 year break and when he came back he lost. If he didn’t have that hiatus he would either be top 10 or in title contention right now.

He had so much momentum going for him after his win against Magny, but them injuries messed him up man. I'm actually rooting for Baeza but if Ponzi manages to win, I hope it's in vintage fashion.
Ponz was my guy. He came up at the same time as the current top guys at WW. Usman/Colby/Edwards, he was right there with them. Even ranked higher before his absents. Wonder if he can regain what he had. Leach was a tough fight after a 2+ year layoff.
Ponzinibbio was the absolute top prospect at WW before he was sidelined with all the medical issues. I really hope he can find back to his old form, though I sadly think it's unlikely. He may just be one of those "what could've been" stories.
@@Monchielinho no in english it would be Brazilian Argentinian because English is adj then noun so Brazilan is modifying agentinian He is the most-Brazilian like argentian.
Argentina y Brasileños fuimos, somos y seremos hermanos por siempre. A pesar de las rivalidades, que, siendo sincero, son porque argentina y brasil somos los mejores en muchos deportes!!! 🇦🇷🇧🇷🇦🇷🇧🇷
Ponzinibio is really unlucky, dude got a blood infection, multiple surgeries and was off the cage for multiple years. I don't know if he can recover from that.
Only man to finish Court McGee in his entire career, and the first and again only person to finish the highly touted Gunnar Nelson. 2nd man to KO Magny ( look how many fights Magny has in the UFC!) He will be back
There was an eye poke in that gunni fight and I believe it could've gone differently otherwise. Regardless Santiago is a legit dude I hope he can get one back in the win column
He was a monster before his injuries, an absolute contender. However, i'm afraid he will never be that fighter again. His injuries were really severe and he's already getting on in age. Thought he looked gunshy and slow in his last fight. Hopefully i'm wrong and he bounces back. Still want to see a matchup between Ponzi and Luque, a guerra for the ages!
@@armaan4246 Usman back then would not have been striking with Ponzi, he would have wrestled and clinched him to a decision. Usman has a granite chin, but he's a smart fighter who won't take unnecessary risks.
@@armaan4246 Usman's wrestling and clinch work is relentless in its style and approach. Usman probably would have just overpowered him with his strength and cardio.
@@madgavin7568 usman's had issues with his knees in the past and ponzinibbio has amazing leg kicks and great cardio. I'm not saying he would've won but by far usmans hardest fight
Whatever happened that stopped Ponzinibbio's momentum, absolutely ruined his chance to fight for the title. He looked fenomenal back then and had the most powerful jab in WW history.
This sounds crazy I know because he doesn't have the skill to do it but this guy's physical attributes probably present the biggest threat to Usman in WW division- lots of power and AMAZING takedown defense, he just needs to develop until he can be in the top 5 . Let me know your thoughts on this. Please don't crucify me if you disagree
@@bushisback112 karma because of one or two eye pokes? Or karma because you don't like him ? Where's that karma for other eye pokers? You guys are funny

He's been through a lot of adversity
true. he acutally is 7-1 in his last 8 with the last 4 all being top 10 or 15....his overall record is impressive too. i surely think he can do it
Only reason he isn’t on anyone’s radar is because his had a 3 year break and when he came back he lost. If he didn’t have that hiatus he would either be top 10 or in title contention right now.

Connor McGregor is the best comeback story!!!!!
Welfare to Mayweather baby!!!!!!
Lmao I’m just busting balls, all love.
It's actually really crazy to see Magny die like that. Especially to the same shot that knocked out Ponzi in his last fight.
And then Magny handled The Leech when they fought. Just another example of MMA math not being a reliable thing.
Left hook koed Ponz notr right cross
Li jingliang koed Santiago with a left hook....

00:29 Mario "If he lives he lives" Yamasaki. I mean that as a compliment. He actually saved this guy!
Nice stoppages has Mario, hope he doesn’t get cut by a really bad stoppage
Yeah that was a great stoppage
This guy was such a prospect.. Going to be interesting to see if he can bounce back
He ain't young. Maybe. I'm surprised he didn't retire after all the issues he had.
Hes old as shit b
He was just in his prime when he beat Magny but then all his injuries and some illness that was really bad. I think it almost killed him
Was turning into the next jbj with all the eye pokes every fight he had. Damm near ripped Mike perry's eye out.
He is unlucky with the injuries but maybe one shot took it all in Jinglang Li fight and he's still a beast
If Ponzinibbio can get like 3 wins or 2, I'd really like to see him fight Vicente Luque. Just feel like it'd be a war.
Ponz matches up perfectly with these top 10 welterweights
That would honestly be fight of the year I bet
That would be a great fight I just think the layoff has his ranking so low especially when he's won 9 of his last 10
Luque cannot be knocked out. He glasses people with his chin and then finish them off
Damn Santiago got pretty impressive record 27 wins and only 4 losses.
What's more surprising is the decent stoppage by Mario 😂
Must have been off his game that night
You are a animal 😂😂
LMFAOOOOOOOOO. O OO O O OO O OPOPJJO 'OPJPO

He must have bet Santiago TKO in that round

hes a fucking cheat. eye pokes every fight.

The most Brazilian Argentinian person.

I think I fought this fella on my UFC 4 Career mode.
🤣 And this guy is my favorite opponent haha

This guy got knocked out cold by the guy who lost to Magny.. love MMA
MMA math doesn't work all the time.
Happy to see this guy getting promoted by ufc
Lests go Santiago from Brazil !!!
Li Jingliang’s son is pretty good.
More like victim
He’d do you worse keyboard champ stfu

Good one 🥴
The Ponzinibbio that fought Neil Magny is the one we need to see this Saturday. Let’s go Argentine 🗡 aka Gente Boa.
What he needs to do is cover that tribal, clown.

he's gonna have a tough fight against a 10-0 miguel baeza...
Santiago really good welter hope he can bounce back and fight the best of the division
Keep up the great work
0:30
Possibly Mario "His corpse was still warm though !!" Yamasaki's
earliest stoppage !
Yeah, strange that he didn't let kill him!
Argentina presenté loco !
Insane accuracy and i love his spanish fencing style
Mans got some power in his hands
He lost 2 years of his prime due to injuries man..
It happens.. samething with Cruz imagine if these two were able to stay healthy the whole time during there prime
@@chiefzz7659 Dont compare Cruz one of the greatest ufc champions in mma history, to this cheat bum Santiago

I can’t believe he did that to Nelson! Man!
Ha! Who sticks thier head out unprotected more than Nelson?
Eye pokes and short grabbing was a winning strategy for SP that night!
@@jameshovey8301 those 3-4 eye pokes under a minute probably helped…

Humble, gracious, powerful and an amazing striker. He will make a great champion

Maybe before Usman got the belt.

Welterweights hit so freaking hard
Swear the first dude he knocked him out and then hit him 2 more times and brought him back lol
he should have been a title competitor once or more, feel bad for him after 2 years off the sport
Him vs Usman would be a really interesting match up.
This guy was at one point on talks for a title fight. His 2 years injuries took his prime. His next opponent is no joke
I hope to see Santiago bounce back with all those injuries he had. Plus the loss to li jingliang it was sad to see.

Great, exciting fighter that's willing to stand in the pocket which always makes for great entertainment ❤️
Dont know about the timing.. he got ko'd recently.
Sad fall from grace. He used to be the dark horse of the division
He's only fought once in last 3 years I believe...but he got knocked out brutally last fight
He was definitely threat to anyone sad that ring rust got him
@@tejasbhat4477 I am aware. He would have fought more but I believe it was a blood disease that created his long layoff

Injuries and illnesses ruined his career.
The rise of ponzinibbio was caused by EYE POKING. The guy is a master.
Love this guy
Classic Mario Yamasaki, man literally goes unconscious then conscious before he stops it
Definitely top 10 fighter.
These warrior will be right to say their job is to finish the opponent
