Alexandre Pantoja does not mince words.
“In Brazil, we like to say that we’ll bring home our opponent’s head,” he told Sherdog.com. “That’s an attitude I’ve had since early on. I’ve been fighting for a long time. My first MMA bout was at age 17. I’ve always been highly aggressive. I look to kill or be killed in the Octagon. I like to put on a show. My goal is to completely destroy my adversaries. I’m always looking to demoralize my opponents to show them how much stronger I am.”
Those are the parameters for Pantoja ahead of his UFC 277 flyweight showcase against Alex Perez on Saturday at the American Airlines Center in Dallas.
