Undisputed flyweight champion, Alexandre Pantoja has been chomping at the bit for a return to action in the coming months, and it seems the Brazilian has been leaked to feature at UFC 316 as soon as June in a return to the Octagon in Newark, New Jersey.
Pantoja, the current undisputed flyweight titleholder, has been tied to a title defense against former interim title challenger, Kai Kara-France in the coming months — with a showdown speculated to take place next month at UFC 313.
However, confirming a vacant title for gold at the featherweight limit for the Miami card next month, Alexander Volkanovski is set to face off with Diego Lopes with the winning minting themselves as the new divisional pacesetter.
