No one does it rather like the flyweights.
In a couple of weeks time, the UFC go back to Rio de Janeiro for a card to be headlined by the ruling 125-pound champ (and Rio native) Alexandre Pantoja where he will be charged with ending up being the very first male in 7 years to hand a defeat to the Australian title opposition Steve Erceg– a fighter who has actually impressed in his quick, three-fight run with the organisation so far.
Pantoja, however, has actually strongly developed himself as the ‘guy to beat’ at flyweight. His 5 newest wins have actually come versus a few of the department’s most gifted fighters, in Brandon Royval (two times), Alex Perez and Manel Kape.
One fighter, however, with which Pantoja has a prolonged competition is the previous champ Brandon Moreno, with whom Pantoja has actually shared the cage with on 2 events– the most current of which from UFC 290 last July you can enjoy completely listed below.
