Just a couple of months ago, former UFC two-division champion Henry Cejudo expressed interest in a potential return to flyweight , but the division’s current champion isn’t buying it as Alexandre Pantoja doesn’t think Cejudo is seriously considering a drop from bantamweight. Pantoja doesn’t have the confidence in Cejudo’s ability to get back down to 125 pounds at age 37 – unless maybe there’s medical intervention. “When you go to the surgery doctor, yeah, he needs (liposuction) to make the weight,” Pantoja told MMA Junkie jokingly. “I don’t think he can make the weight again. He’s too big.” Pantoja (28-5 MMA, 12-3 UFC), who returns to defend his belt against Japan’s Kai Asakura at UFC 310 on Dec. 7 in Las Vegas, likes the fight with Cejudo and sees it as a dream matchup.
