Pantoja has 9 wins against the current top 10 of his division which is insane for a Champ to say. 5 of those wins are the Brandons but still lmao not his fault they keep being top 5
He had already locked up the number 1 contender spot but way delayed by having to wait for Moreno and Figgy to fight 4 times, so he had to beat up the rest of the division while he waited lol
I'm a huge Moreno fan, but Pantoja is like the Terminator. He never stops coming forward and he always ends up the best positions to pull out the W. Anyway, see y'all tonight for the livestream!
Pantoja has been my favorite in this division ever since that one tuf season they brought in ALL 125pd champions from other organizations. I enjoy his style nonetheless
Nobody has this feat in the current UFC Pantoja It's 9-0 against the top 10 To give you an idea, Makhachev only got Charles from the top 10 as a tough opponent, or does anyone consider Bobby Green to be tough? Tsarukyan made his UFC debut at 22 years old only against a 27-year-old Manchester man who had already been in the UFC for a long time The closest to that might be Adesanya, he's 6-1 or 7-1 against the top 10 Khabib for example must be 4-0 or 5-0 against the top 10 at the time Being 9-0 against the elite of the category means that you only had tough fights, not taking these fights means that you have an overestimated record
Dude im ngl your mma videos are probably some of my favorite to watch. You do a really fantastic job with the topics, editing, pacing, and just make the videos crisp
thanks for making vids again bro, did u get ur accoucnt suspended or something? went from watchin ur live streams while i was unemplpyed to you just dissappearing? ill try n catch ur live tonight to find out what the deal was
With Moreno , Pantoja just decides I will throw when you do but harder & it's more impactful when he lands. It's surprising Brandon hasn't adjusted to Alexandre successfully but Pantoja isn't afraid of his power at all so he just throws.
Him eating shots and walking them down to hit his shots must be so demoralizing for the Brandons. Pants got a granite chin on top of all his world class skills
I love that Pantoja is a great champion despite having sloppy striking. Gamefulness is king. That's why nobody fucks with tasmanian devils, wolverines, or people with damage. If someone is under a powerful drive from within they brwka rhythm, become unpredictable. Like when Henry Cejudo beat Marlon Moraes with a bunch of rights without any setup. He got angry and just beat the fuck out of him. Pantoja has that in every fight. Sloppy gamefulness plus elite grappling and a mature champion's mindset. I like his vibe a lot.
@@inshal7532 as if pantoja didn't take over early and kept pushing even after that. You need to see the whole picture and not let your love decide who won.
lol yet when he’s not gassed out he’s still the superior one who can hold onto you. Stop watching mma if you find the entire aspect of mma boring like you fans are so sped it boggles my mind why you don’t watch kick boxing instead if ur gonna cry about grappling
I love Pantoja, but if anything his last 2 defenses have shown that his tendency to load up early gives his opponents opportunities to take the late rounds. He does find a way to take them down, but they seem to be desperate takedowns for him to catch a breath. I think he might get one more title defense before losing it.
