A crucial welterweight bout between Santiago Ponzinibbio and Kamaru Usman is set to headline the UFC’s debut event in Chile this May. After telling MMAjunkie earlier this week that Ponzinibbio (26-3 MMA, 8-2 UFC) was one of the few logical options for his next fight, Usman (12-1 MMA, 7-0 UFC) gets the main-event booking at UFC Fight Night 129. Two people with knowledge of the situation confirmed to MMAjunkie that agreements are in place for the 170-pound bout, which was first reported by MMAFighting.com . The people requested anonymity because the UFC has yet to officially make an announcement.
