Alexandre Pantoja remained the king of the flyweight division while Kai Asakura came short of making history at UFC 310. Where both go next is now the top question to ask at 125 pounds.
For Pantoja, the third successful title defense makes him the most successful champion in the division since Demetrious Johnson. Mighty Mouse once defended the belt 11 times while no one other than Pantoja has defended it three times since.
The next batch of contenders for Pantoja could be some familiar names. Asakura was able to get a title shot in his UFC debut, in part, because there was a dearth of competitors at the top of the weight class.
