Santiago Ponzinibbio turned in a strong performance in a fourth-round knockout win over Neil Magny to close out UFC Fight Night 140 as the organization expanded its global footprint to Argentina for the first time in Buenos Aires.
The Argentine national wasted little time in setting the tone. He connected with heavy leather to pressure Magny in the opening moments and set up camp in front of his opponent.
UFCCaught him with the jab! @SPonzinibbioMMA has the #UFCArgentina crowd going early. https://t.co/p3MgC3iJ8j
That pressure continued throughout the first round. Ponzinibbio took the early lead on the scorecards as Magny fought off his back foot.
