Alexandre Pantoja believes Brandon Moreno might be a little scared to face him again.
Pantoja made it three wins in his last four with a second-round submission win over Brandon Royval at UFC Vegas 34 last night. The Brazilian wasted little time in calling out Moreno soon after who was in attendance as well.
There was no hostility either as it was probably one of the nicest callouts of all time.
The nicest callout we've seen?

However, Pantoja did feel the need to remind Moreno that he held wins over him.
Pantoja first submitted Moreno when they met in an exhibition match during The Ultimate Fighter back in 2016. They would face each other professionally in 2018 with Pantoja getting the unanimous decision win on that occasion.
And with Moreno now reigning as UFC flyweight champion, we could be set for a third meeting between the pair. And the possibility of losing to Pantoja again might be wearing on Moreno’s mind according to the former.
“I say December because I think Brandon will want that time,” Pantoja said on when he’d like to face Moreno (via MMA Junkie). “I’m ready to fight. I don’t know if Moreno wants to fight this year or next year, but I know he knows I’m coming for the title.
“He knows my game. I beat him two times. I think he’s maybe a little scared because he lost to me via submission, and then when he had the possibility to get revenge against me, I destroyed him. I made it 30-26. I proved I’m better.
“When he came to the UFC, you see he’s good – but I’m better. He has the title, but he knows I’m much better when we fought three years ago.”
The same can be said for Moreno as well.
Likely earning his first shot at UFC flyweight gold, Alexandre ‘The Cannibal’ Pantoja is also primed for a title rematch against recently minted titleholder, Brandon Moreno — via an impressive second round rear-naked choke over the pressing, Brandon Royval to kick off the main card of UFC Vegas 34.

Likely earning his first shot at UFC flyweight gold, Alexandre ‘The Cannibal’ Pantoja is also primed for a title rematch against recently minted titleholder, Brandon Moreno — via an impressive second round rear-naked choke over the pressing, Brandon Royval to kick off the main card of UFC Vegas 34.
Opening up the main card portion of UFC Vegas 34 tonight, Pantoja and Royval got off to a frenetic pace early, with the Brazilian immediately engaging with clinch work and grappling exchanges, taking the latter’s back for the majority of the opening round.
Attempting to granby roll on cue, Royval almost set up his own heel hook attempt during a scramble, before he was clipped with what appeared to be a well-placed right hand during latter striking exchanges before the close of the first round.
Again taking Royval’s back in the opening minute of the second round, Rio de Janeiro native, Pantoja patiently locked his hands around Royval’s chin, forcing an eventual tap in the process — as he looks to meet with defending champion, Moreno following an initial clash on The Ultimate Fighter before a UFC Fight Night Santiago matchup back in May 2019. In both pairings, Pantoja emerged victorious.
Below, catch Pantoja’s submission stoppage over Royval.
How about THAT
