ATLANTA – Alexandre Pantoja put on a flawless performance Saturday night at UFC 236.
Pantoja showed excellent defensive work early before uncorking a big right hand in the first round that spelled the beginning of the end for Wilson Reis, leading to a TKO win at the 2:58 mark of their flyweight bout. The victory pushed Pantoja’s streak to three, and he’s won five of six fights since joining the UFC in January 2017.
Backstage at State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Pantojoa (21-3 MMA, 5-1 UFC) discussed his performance, the state of the 125-pound division and what makes it so great, and getting closer to an eventual title shot vs. his good friend and former “TUF” coach Henry Cejudo.
