Ray Longo, coach of UFC lightweight champion Merab Dvalishvili, said he would like to see his charge fight lower division belt holder Alexandre Pantoja.
"I'd like to see Merab and Pantoja fight. Yes, let Aleshandre go upstairs and fight Dvalishvili. Pantoja has already cleaned up his division anyway.
Sandhagen? He needs to get a couple wins before the title shot. I like Corey, but nobody's going to rush to the screen to see him fight Merab," Sports Illustrated quoted Longo as saying.
