UFC flyweight contender Alexandre Pantoja has big expectations for his bout at UFC 277. Paired up against former title challenger Alex Perez, the Brazilian hopes that a win on Saturday night secures his own first crack at the belt.
In an interview with Combate, Pantoja explained why he thinks that the fight against Perez should be a title eliminator. Alexandre’s opinion, that would be only fair, given that he is on a two-fight winning streak and Alex has just fought for the belt in his most recent UFC outing.
“It’s a great fight, against a great opponent who’s been doing really well in this division,” Pantoja said.
