Santiago Ponzinibbio (born 26 September 1986) is an Argentine mixed martial artist currently competing in the Welterweight division of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). He also works as a UFC color commentator for the UFC Spanish broadcasts on UFC Español.

Background

[edit]

Ponzinibbio was born in La Plata, Buenos Aires, to parents of Italian descent, with paternal grandparents originating in Sicily. He began training kickboxing when he was 13 years old growing up in Argentina. Ponzinibbio became interested in MMA, but there were too few local gyms in which he could pursue it. As a result, Ponzinibbio traveled to Florianópolis, Brazil, where he lived the first five months in a tent on a beach, doing some odd jobs to try make ends meet. Meanwhile, he trained at several nearby gyms.[5] He turned professional in 2008 competing in regional promotions in South America.

Mixed martial arts career

[edit]

Early career

[edit]

Ponzinibbio racked a record of 18–1 in the Latin America regional circuit before trying out for The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil 2.

The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil

[edit]

In March 2013, it was revealed that Ponzinibbio was a cast member of The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil 2.[6] He won his elimination fight to get into the TUF house, defeating Thiago Silva by TKO in round 1.[7] He was the second pick for Team Nogueira.[7] Over the course of the show, Ponzinibbio defeated Marcio Santos by TKO and Cleiton Duarte by unanimous decision to reach the semifinals.[8][9] In the semifinals, he defeated Leonardo Santos by unanimous decision.[10] However, Ponzinibbio broke his hand during this semifinal fight and was replaced by Santos in the finals against William Macário.[10] The semifinal-round fight with Santos, however, was picked as the Fight of the Season, and his finish of Marcio Santos earned Knockout of the Season which earned Ponzinibbio $50,000 bonuses.[11]
