UFC free fight: Santiago Ponzinibbio viciously stops Alex Morono in emotional victory

BAD MMA News — Thu, 11 Jul 2024 12:08:43 +0000

Stopping Alex Morono was a big moment for Santiago Ponzinibbio , not only because he snapped a two-fight skid, but because he picked up his first stoppage win since he overcame a life-threatening infection. In December 2022 at UFC 282, Ponzinibbio scored a TKO win over Morono when he wobbled him bad with a brutal right hand and finished him with ground-and-pound. It was just a year into his comeback from an infection that put his career on ice for three years, and Ponzinibbio clearly was overtaken by emotion in his post-fight celebration.
