Former formidable flyweight king Alexandre Pantoja has returned to sparring after his horrible injury at UFC 323. The nasty injury ended an exceptional title reign at 125lbs which had the Brazilian in the conversations among the greatest of all time, not only in his division but across the sport.
If he was successful against Joshua Van at UFC 323 it would have been five consecutive defences of the 125lbs belt and a potential jump to 135lbs given his dominance over the flyweight division and all top contenders.
