“I joined the fight, I worked for this. I knew he was very tough, I wanted to finish him in the first round, but he is very resilient, he has all my respect. Now I need to focus on the next one. I want to fight for the belt in September, in Mexico. Whoever wins the fight today, I want the belt,” said Pantera.
With the victory, 'Pantera' broke a streak of two consecutive defeats. The Brazilian, at 38 years old, suffered the eighth defeat of his career.
