Daniel Rodriguez’s punching power was on full display in Des Moines, Iowa.
At UFC on ESPN 67, Rodriguez took on Santiago Ponzinibbio and nearly ended things early in the fight. Ponzinibbio was able to survive an early scare, but in the final round, everything caught up to him. It was a charging series of hooks from Rodriguez that sat down Ponzinibbio, prompting the referee to call a stop to the fight.
