UFC flyweight champion Alexandre Pantoja is feeling a little underappreciated.
The Brazilian currently checks in at No. 10 in the UFC.com pound-for-pound poll, which he feels is far too low given his accomplishments at 125 pounds. “The Cannibal” is currently in the midst of a seven-bout UFC winning streak that includes four victories in flyweight championship bouts.
Pantoja, who is No. 4 in Sherdog's current pound-for-pound standings, proposes a point system — with a heavy emphasis on performance in title bouts — to determine these rankings.
“I’m not going to lie, I think the big measurement for this should be if you have the belt,” Pantoja recently told Stake.
