“Gente Boa” competes in his native country for the first time in over eight years on Saturday when the Octagon makes its debut in Buenos Aires at UFC Argentina. The matchmakers did not give Ponzinibbio a layup as he has been paired up with welterweight contender Neil Magny, who has made a habit of knocking off fighters with bigger names than him, including Carlos Condit, Johny Hendricks, and Hector Lombard.
A pair of featherweights will look to stay in the contenders’ line n the co-main event as one-time title challenger Ricardo Lamas fights to snap a two-fight losing streak against Darren Elkins, who is also coming off of a loss, his first in seven bouts.
