“They eliminated me (from the rankings). Brian Ortega fought 3 weeks following me and he’s however in the rankings and he was in the most important function (in opposition to The Korean Zombie). I requested, why is he in the rankings even with the inactivity? Why does he get a primary occasion, and me (an unranked opponent in Jingliang)?” Ponzinibbio stated to Sherdog.

“Listen, I really like Brian Ortega. I consider he deserves it, he confirmed to the earth he warrants it, he beat a male and ideally he results in being a winner. I really don’t have nearly anything towards him. It is just our situation’s quite equivalent. For this reason, I repeat, I assume the rankings are bullsh*t. I go inside my cage and do my function. Which is it. I depict my society and my individuals from Argentina and from Latin American and I set a exhibit inside of the cage, guy.”

In his career, Santiago Ponzinibbio is 27-3 and riding a 7-combat successful streak with wins around Magny, Mike Perry, and Gunnar Nelson. He also retains a notable wins more than Sean Strickland, but if he can get earlier Jingliang, it is likely he will re-enter the welterweight rankings.
