Demetrious Johnson Rejects Alexandre Pantoja's Callout; UFC Champ Responds
Briefly

"This is the level, the UFC level that's here so high. You think some Japanese [fighter] going to come here and take my belt? No. When the Octagon is locked, this is my town, this is my city." Pantoja expressed his confidence following his victory, emphasizing the superiority of the UFC and his status as champion, making it clear that he will not easily relinquish his title, regardless of the competition.
"It's not about money. I don't fight for money. I fight to prove myself, [that] I'm the best of the best. I think everybody does that," Pantoja asserted in response to Johnson's retirement and refusal to fight, underscoring his commitment to the sport and the desire to establish himself among the best fighters, rather than just focusing on financial aspects.
