Santiago Ponzinibbio’s progress was such that perhaps he was just one fight away from getting a title shot at Tyron Woodley who was then the reigning UFC Welterweight Champion.
Fast forward to October 2020 and Santiago Ponzinibbio in not even a ranked fighter having being removed from the UFC rankings due to inactivity. The Argentine, however, is determined to turn his misfortune around and make 2021 his year. He plans to return to the Octagon in 2020.
Santiago Ponzinibbio suffered several health-related problems which kept him out of action in 2019. Then, just as he was healthy and looking to get back in the Octagon in 2020 the COVID-19 pandemic hit, and his fights were postponed indefinitely.
He also suffered a broken toe while helping Dustin Poirier prepare for the Dan Hooker fight and finally a knee infection further delayed his return to the Octagon.
Santiago Ponzinibbio last suffered a loss in 2015
It has been more than five years since Santiago Ponzinibbio last suffered a loss in his mixed martial arts career. He was stopped by Lorenz Larkin in June 2015 before going on a seven-fight win streak in a highly competitive UFC welterweight division.
His streak included wins over names such as Mike Perry, Nordine Taleb, and Gunnar Nelson.
Now healthy and with his bad luck behind him, the Argentine is eager to get back in the cage.
