In the UFC Fight Night 141 main event, Santiago Ponzinibbio (27-3 MMA, 9-2 UFC) thrilled his home-country fans in Argentina with a knockout of Neil Magny (21-7 MMA, 14-6 UFC) at welterweight. In the co-main event, former featherweight title challenger Ricardo Lamas (19-7 MMA, 10-5 UFC) picked up a big win over the gritty and tough-to-finish Darren Elkins (24-7 MMA, 14-6 UFC).

Plus, Johnny Walker (15-3 MMA, 1-0 UFC) made a quick impression at light heavyweight with a stoppage of Khalil Rountree (7-3 MMA, 3-3 UFC).
