Ponzinibbio has mapped out a plan for a three-fight winning streak. He’s already proved his MMA skills with Andreas Stahl, Court McGee, and Zak Cummings. Santiago Ponzinibbio has only had one road bump with a TKO loss to Lorenz Larkin 2-years-ago.
Despite, Nordine Taleb, 35, coming off a stunning KO victory over Erick Silva, Santiago Ponzinibbio isn’t worried, stating:
“[I’M] A BETTER FIGHTER THAN [TALEB] IN ALL ASPECTS.”
We guess we must see how the fight goes down, but we hope for the Gente Boa, his winning streak stays solid.
