Alexandre Pantoja Defended Home Turf As Well As The Title, And He Still Has More Than A Few Contenders At The Ready
With the Brazilian crowd backing him, Alexandre Pantoja earned another hard-fought defense of his flyweight title over Steve Erceg. The fight was as gritty as any Pantoja title fight, and the decision win further cemented his growing championship legacy.
Flyweight, as saturated as it is with contenders, sits in a bit of a convoluted state at present, which is ironic considering the stability Pantoja has brought to the throne itself. That said, Pantoja isn’t left wanting for challengers as he chases Demetrious Johnson’s title defense streak.
