The Brazilian fans in Rio de Janeiro certainly went home happy after Alexandre Pantoja earned a hard-fought unanimous decision win over Steve Erceg to retain his flyweight title in the UFC 301 main event, but it was Jose Aldo, now the sport’s biggest free agent, who sent the arena into a frenzy with his throwback performance against Jonathan Martinez.
Following Saturday’s pay-per-view fight card, MMA Fighting’s Mike Heck, Jed Meshew, and Eric Jackman react to Pantoja’s successful title defense, the scoring of the bout, and if Erceg made a fight-losing mistake in the fifth round. Additionally, the panel discusses Aldo’s dominant win and what’s next for him, his title hopes if he re-signs with the UFC, Michel Pereira’s quick finish, Anthony Smith’s upset win, and much more.
