Alexandre Pantoja’s injury: Demetrious Johnson gives his thoughts on UFC 323 co-main event drama

UFC legend Demetrious Johnson has given his thoughts on Alexandre Pantoja‘s unfortunate injury at UFC 323.

In the co-main event of UFC 323, Alexandre Pantoja suffered a nasty arm injury that rendered him unable to continue. It happened in the opening exchanges of the fight and, as a result of what happened, Joshua Van was declared the new UFC flyweight champion.

We all expect to see Alexandre Pantoja recover and get back to his very best at 125 pounds. Of course, there’s no guarantee that he will be able to reclaim the throne from Joshua Van, but we can hope that he gets close enough to 100% that we can see the kind of fight that we were all anticipating – aka a complete banger.
