Fans at UFC 301
After Alexandre Pantoja's victory in the UFC 301 main event, he interacted with a mostly empty crowd. Fans responded.
The UFC flyweight title was up for grabs when Pantoja defeated Steve Erceg, rated number ten, on Saturday night in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, capping up the pay-per-view event.
Erceg's outstanding performance caused "The Cannibal" to struggle at times, but in the end, a unanimous decision (49-46 and 48-47 x2) declared the winner.
As Pantoja fought to maintain his throne in front of Brazilian supporters, his decisive victory ought to have created a memorable moment for the audience.
Regretfully, the flyweight champion only spoke to a small number of the spectators who remained in the arena as he was leaving the octagon.
Before and even after the main event, the majority of the audience had left.
