Santiago Ponzinibbio made his twentieth presentation at the UFC at the Wells Fargo Arena de Des Moines, Iowa, faced with Daniel Rodríguez, but not everything was like the Argentine expected him in the evening that starred Cory Sandghagen and Deivison Figueiredo.
The native of La Plata was defeated thanks to an accurate and spectacular blow by the American who forced the referee to stop the fight And so the Argentine could not chain his second victory in a row in the year.
The Marcial Albiceleste artist sought to consolidate the good beginning of 2025, after what was a forceful Ko against Carlston Harris in January, but this time the coup of grace was successful by his rival. The 38 -year -old veterannicknamed The Argentinian Dagger, fell to the canvas at the beginning of the third round after what were two very even previous assaults and with great exchanges of blows by both.
That fatal blow could be seen since Rodriguez had previously rehearsed the same left -wing cross, but the Argentine, fast reflexes, had managed to avoid with a great head movement. Seconds later, almost in the same movement, the American threw again and this time went to white.
Left -handed that impact fully on the right parietal of Buenos Aires, who fell immediately and the referee decided to stop the fight to give Rodríguez victory for Tko (technical knockout) before the null reaction when the Californian of 38 years returned to the load.
