Alexandre Pantoja expects different fight same result
“Of course, it’s going to be a different fight. I’m prepared for the best Brandon Moreno ever. All Mexicans go to my Instagram and say it’s a prime Moreno and that’s the guy I want to meet in the cage, in the octagon, but the result is going to be the same. I’m going to win that, take the belt, and go to Brazil for vacation.”
