Alexandre Pantoja, the UFC flyweight champion, believes he is underappreciated in the pound-for-pound rankings, currently placed at No. 10. With a seven-fight winning streak including four title bouts, he suggests a point system emphasizing title performance could rectify this. Pantoja argues that owning the belt should significantly influence rankings, stating he's faced and defeated all contenders in his division. He is scheduled to defend his title against Kai Kara-France at UFC 317 and acknowledges the intensity that comes with Kara-France's responsibilities as a father, suggesting it will affect their upcoming fight.
"I'm not going to lie, I think the big measurement for this should be if you have the belt; If you have the belt, you get 50 points."
"When I stopped and looked at the pound-for-pound, I fought everyone in my division, and I won every one. Everyone who understands the game defends me."
