This will be Ponzinibbio's first main event in the organization. At 30 years old, the Argentinian Gente Boa is going through a great phase, with four consecutive victories, the most recent over Nordine Taleb at UFC Halifax, in February this year. In Ultimate, there have already been eight fights, with six victories – three by knockout – and two defeats. He was a finalist in TUF Brasil 2, but was prevented from fighting in the final of the program after getting injured.
