LAS VEGAS — The third time was a charm for Alexandre Pantoja.
After beating Brandon Moreno twice earlier in his career, he did it a third time on Saturday in the co-main event of UFC 290 at T-Mobile Arena, winning a split decision to dethrone Moreno.
“Hey guys, if you know my story, you're gonna love me,” Pantoja said after defeating Moreno for the third time in as many tries. “I'm working so hard for that. Gabriela, my wife, my kid, I'm working so hard for that. You don't get mad at me, do you? I can touch now. I can touch now. I can feel. The difference, though, may have been the grappling advantage that Pantoja held, getting close to a rear naked choke several times in the final two rounds.
