However, we first discovered the main event for Liverpool which was not Till vs Usman but <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/stephen-thompson\/breaking-stephen-thompson-vs-darren-till-set-to-headline-ufc-liverpool\/\">Till vs two-time title challenger, Stephen Thompson<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Rumors had been all up in the air in regards to what would main event UFC Chile on May 19th but everyone expected Santiago Ponzinibbio to be one half of it(and that is likely going to be the case). It was just a matter of whom he would face. There were several options ranging from <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/santiago-ponzinibbio\/report-santiago-ponzinibbio-has-a-potential-opponent-in-the-works-for-ufc-chile\/\">Neil Magny<\/a> and even <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/kelvin-gastelum\/kelvin-gastelum-says-he-almost-returned-to-welterweight-to-headline-ufc-chile\/\">current middleweight contender, Kelvin Gastelum<\/a>. But now, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmafighting.com\/2018\/3\/23\/17158024\/santiago-ponzinibbio-vs-kamaru-usman-scheduled-for-ufc-chile-main-event\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MMAFighting<\/a>, the UFC will be settling with Ponzinibbio vs Kamaru Usman.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/usatmmajunkie.files.wordpress.com\/2017\/09\/kamaru-usman-ufc-fight-night-16-2.jpg?w=1000&amp;h=576&amp;crop=1\" width=\"1000\" height=\"576\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">PhotoCred: MMAJunkie<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Interestingly enough, Usman just last night <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/kamaru-usman\/kamaru-usman-claims-santiago-ponzinibbio-turned-down-ufc-chile-headlining-matchup-with-him\/\">claimed that Ponzinibbio had turned the fight down<\/a> but sometimes things can change and change fast. Usman also <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/exclusive-interviews\/exclusive-kamaru-usman-willing-to-fight-demian-maia-but-doubts-brazilian-would-accept-1\/\">said earlier today that he had interest in fighting Demian Maia<\/a> whom he has called out before in post-fight\u00a0interviews. Whether or not he thought he would get the fight though was different.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cI\u2019m pretty sure we already know the answer to that. I highly doubt [he\u2019d accept].<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Everyone seems to just be picking favorable matchups that could get them wins and the UFC is allowing it to happen.
