Former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov believes that ex-champion Henry Cejudo, who held two titles in the league, should face off against Alexandre Pantoja.

There is no other option than [Alexandre] Pantoja, there is no fight [otherwise]… There is no other option. I think if they want some big fight for this weight class, they have to make this – Cejudo vs Pantoja would be big.
Pantoja’s last fight was against Kai Asakura on December 8 at UFC 310, where he won by technical submission in the second round. He holds a record of 29 wins and five losses.
Cejudo’s last appearance in the octagon was against Merab Dvalishvili in February this year at UFC 298. That fight went the distance and ended in a unanimous decision loss for Henry. His professional record stands at 16 wins and four losses.
