Daniel Rodriguez is gearing up for a high-stakes match against Santiago Ponzinibbio at UFC Des Moines. Rodriguez, fresh off a victory that ended a three-fight losing streak, believes their matchup is set to be exciting. While both fighters have faced adversity in recent bouts, Rodriguez contends that he has faced a tougher array of opponents. At age 38, he feels fresher due to starting late in his fighting career, which he believes will give him an edge in the octagon against Ponzinibbio's experience.
D-Rod, like his Argentinian opponent, has had a tough run of late, with his last outing being a much-needed win that snapped a three-fight skid.
Rodriguez stated, 'I definitely needed that last win,' reflecting on his past tough losses and feeling he faced tougher competition than Ponzinibbio.
