Alexandre Pantoja establishes himself as one of the best champions in UFC flyweight history.
The Brazilian veteran has defended his 125-pound belt twice, defeating Brandon Royval and, most recently, Steve Erceg. Last May, Pantoja went to war with Erceg in a very competitive fight that ended with Pantoja raising his hand after 25 minutes of fighting. It was a burst performance from Pantoja, who showed off his durability and great wrestling skills.
You can watch Pantoja’s second UFC flyweight title defense in the video above.
Pantoja (28-5 MMA, 12-3 UFC) defends his 125-pound belt against former RIZIN bantamweight champion Kai Asakura (21-4 MMA, 0-0 UFC) in the UFC main event 310 on December 7 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas (ESPN+ pay-per-view, ESPN2, ESPN+).
