LAS VEGAS – UFC flyweight champion Alexandre Pantoja is hinting at a big fight next.
Pantoja (28-5 MMA, 12-3 UFC) notched his second title defense when he outlasted Steve Erceg at UFC 301 in May. The Brazilian says his next title fight is already being discussed, and the opponent will be a surprise to many.
“UFC has already talked to me,” Pantoja told reporters on the red carpet of the UFC Hall of Fame on Thursday (h/t James Lynch). “I expect something in in two, three months. I (cannot) say anything right now but it’s going to be huge for everyone and one name that I think nobody will expect. I’m super glad about the name. Very good for my career, it’s huge for me.”
