UFC free fight: Alexandre Pantoja makes second flyweight title defense vs. Steve Erceg

Alexandre Pantoja is cementing himself as one of the best champions in UFC flyweight history.

The Brazilian veteran has defended his 125-pound belt twice, defeating Brandon Royval and, most recently, Steve Erceg. Back in May, Pantoja went to war with Erceg in a very competitive bout that ended with Pantoja getting his hand raised after 25 minutes of fighting. It was a gusty performance from Pantoja, who showed his durability and great grappling skills.

You can watch the Pantoja’s second UFC flyweight title defense in the video above.

Pantoja (28-5 MMA, 12-3 UFC) defends his 125-pound belt against former RIZIN bantamweight champ Kai Asakura (21-4 MMA, 0-0 UFC) in the main event of UFC 310 on Dec. 7 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas (ESPN+ pay-per-view, ESPN2, ESPN+).
