Alexandre Pantoja, Brandon Royval, UFC 290 recap w/ guest co-host Din Thomas - a podcast by UFC

Fresh off the heels of an incredible International Fight Week, Matt Serra is joined by guest co-host Din Thomas for a recap of all things UFC 290 with newly crowned flyweight champion Alexandre Pantoja and potential flyweight title challenger Brandon Royval.

 

Joining the show first is Brandon Royval, who recounts what it was like serving as the backup fighter for Saturday’s flyweight title fight between Brandon Moreno and Alexandre Pantoja.

 

Riding a three-fight winning streak, the UFC’s fourth-ranked flyweight talks about how he feels reenergized after his shoulder surgery and is ready to avenge his losses to Moreno and Pantoja.

 

Then, Alexandre Pantoja hops on the show to express his gratitude for his family, teammates and coaches who’ve supported him on the journey that led him to the top of the flyweight division after his third victory over Brandon Moreno.

 

Din and Matt wrap up the show with the rest of their thoughts on UFC 290’s card, with particular praise for the performances of featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski and the incredible manner in which Robbie Lawler closed his storybook career.
