Pantoja - about a possible meeting with Mokaev: “We’ll see how he shows himself in the fight with Perez”

UFC flyweight champion Alexandre Pantoja confirmed that he is ready to make his next title defense against Muhammad Mokaev, if he wins a brilliant victory this coming weekend.

On the night of March 3 at the UFC Fight Night 238 tournament in Las Vegas, USA, Mokaev will share the Octagon with Alex Perez.

“He will have plenty of time, although he is losing a lot of weight. I know this because he used to train in our gym, at American Top Team. He's a very big guy for a flyweight.

I think a fight with him would definitely make sense if he wins his fight. Moreno had the opportunity to get a title chance, but he was defeated, so now let’s see how Mokaev will perform,” Sportskeeda quotes the Brazilian as saying.
