Rising flyweight Alexandre Pantoja will have a chance to test himself against one of the division’s most experienced athletes when he meets Wilson Reis on Saturday at UFC 236. A 28-year-old with six wins by submission and eight more by knockout, the Brazilian also believes he knows how to deal with his opponent’s style when the moment finally arrives.
Despite displaying some impressive finishing skills, Pantoja believes in taking a more cautions approach in order to deal with seasoned vet and experienced Brazilian jiu-jitsu black-belt Reis. In an interview with Tatame, Alexandre explained he plans to take over the fight after the first five minutes.
