UFC flyweight champion Allesandre Pantoja said he could move up to the lightweight division in the future, but only for a title fight with Sean O'Malley.

"I can definitely compete in the lightweight division. Everyone knows I'm small, not particularly dimensional, but I'm thinking about moving up to lightweight and fighting Sean O'Malley - that would be a great story. But just with O'Malley. I do not want to go into the division to fight some Umar Nurmagomedov," - quotes the words of the Brazilian MMA Mania.

Earlier it became known that on May 4 at UFC 301 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Pantoja will defend his title in a fight with Steve Erceg.
