UFC featherweight champion Alexandre Pantoja spoke out about his return to the octagon and also shared his expectations for the Muhammad Mokaev vs. Manel Kape fight, which takes place June 27 at UFC 304 in Manchester.

"I'm expecting to be scheduled for a fight in two to three months. It will probably be a name that will surprise a lot of people. I'm excited to have the opportunity to face this guy.

The Pantoja - Mokaev fight will be very tight. These are two stand up guys. Kape is a very decent fighter. As for Mokaev - a lot of people expect more from him. I'm exactly one of those people. But overall, I'm happy with how things are developing in our division," MMA News quotes Pantoja as saying.
