The early prelims begin at 6:30 p.m. ET on ESPN+, with the prelims set to begin at 8 p.m. ET on ESPN2/ESPN+ and the main card starting at 10 p.m. ET on Pay-Per-View (PPV).
Ponzinibbio was scheduled to fight “Ruthless” Robbie Lawler, but the veteran was forced to withdraw from the event due to an undisclosed injury. Morono steps in on short notice, and might actually put up a little more resistance than the aging Lawler.
Ponzinibbio, a.k.a. the “Argentine Dagger”, has dropped a pair of split-decision results against Geoff Neal and Michel Pereira in his previous 2 outings. He has gone the distance in 3 bouts in a row, and 6 of his past 9 fights overall.
