Santiago Ponzinibbio has offered to fight Rafael dos Anjos

[Kryptt]

If it happens....

War Ponzi!

#13 vs #15

 

[rear naked ankle pick]

great fight, sign in Dana if you're reading this

 

[DS66]

Oh damn... would love to see Ponzi back in the octagon.

Doesn't really make sense for RDA to take a WW fight against a killer like Ponzi though. He seems serious about moving back down to 155 and trying to make one final run there. He'd be throwing that out the window if he fights at 170 again.

 

[gotBooched]

If RDA is serious about the cut to 155 he needs to seek other options.....no good at this stage to go back up. Finish the diet and cut and begin anew IMO

 

[Unheralded Truth]

That's unfair when RDA has focused on LW.

 

[Towerworld]

Not a smart fight for RDA, brutal KO but will be great for him if he pulls it off.
Dana should push this fight, Ponz can be popular with his style.

 

[Fedor_Silva]

Oh, fuck u Ponzi, go to fight a WW your size.

I didnt see u offering to fight Chimaev though.

 

[MCS]

Better fight. Ponzi likes to bang.

 

[Mahkor]

Lol fuck that, RDA has been cutting for 155 and dieting for months now, Santiago would be much bigger than RDA even if they make the fight at 170.

 

[USA!USA!]

That's unfair when RDA has focused on LW.

Not fair, yet he can call out people who weren't even training for the fight.. got it.

 

[kimocomplex]

much more interesting fight

 

[BenRothwellsChest]

Why not. I hope they just do it, otherwise this weekends card will be very weak.

 

[BRASIL WAND]

Imagine people not wanting RDA vs Ponzi Scheme... you guys are too soft for this sport.


If RDA wants to be a serious player in any weight class, Ponz is the fast track.

why should he fight sir eyepokesalot

 

[daltonames]

better he fight a LW. taking any fight has gotten RDA a lot of love, but it hasn't been the best strategy for his overall career. IMHO.

 

[Kryptt]

much more interesting fight

I'm honestly not against any of the bouts "mentioned" so far as a replacement. Would like to see Ponz back in the cage and was looking forward to RDA vs Islam.

Hope RDA gets something booked!

 

[is a]

Did Santiago Ponzinibbio even have a chance to prepare for this fight since the guy called out RDA like what, less than a week before the actual fight date?

But in the chance that Santiago knew about this and actually trained for it (because some people are sharp when predicting these kinds of events coming), it'd be better for RDA to skip this fight since it'd be like a LW vs a legit WW at this point.

Huge payoff for RDA if he wins though.

 

[BROWNPRIDE]

Wow I would watch.

 

[MMAProfessional]

If I had to guess it will be a FW or LW getting the fight. I like this fight only because Ponz has been out for so long but for RDA it doesn't make sense. Very tough fight and I'm not sure what a win would do for him at LW but I wouldn't mind seeing it. If RDA is off this card this will be one of the worst cards in UFC history with no comain to save it.

 

[cshireman4]

Ali gonna Ali...great fight if they make it, but I wouldn't blame RDA if he declined.
