Like many Brazilian fighters, Wilson Reis isn’t a fan of facing his countrymen, but with the UFC’s flyweight division seemingly in peril, the veteran isn’t getting picky with his opponents. “My next bout is against Alexandre Pantoja, who’s also from Brazil,” Reis told MMA Junkie in his native Portuguese. “He’s also well-ranked. Generally, Brazilians don’t like to face other Brazilians in the UFC. I especially don’t like it, but I already knew that this bout would happen sooner than later.” Reis (23-9 MMA, 7-5 UFC) is currently ranked No.
