Escalated to face Kevin holland No. UFC 287, Santigo Ponzinibbio will have to deal not only with his opponent's blows, but also with the speeches and provocations during the duel. An Ultimate veteran, the Argentine didn't care about the North American's distinctive style and claimed that his only intention was to hit his rival in the face, regardless of his actions.

“Maybe he will talk, maybe he won’t. I'm going to do great things during the fight and he might not do anything. The only thing is that I'm going to fight. I don't know what he will do. Just like they say in Brazil: 'I'm an old monkey'. I have a lot of experience in this sport. I don't care if he says something. Either way, I'm going to punch him in the face. F**k it”, declared Santiago on 'Media Day'.
