UFC 310: What has been said?
There has been some criticism over why Asakura has been able to go straight into a title bout without fighting in the UFC before.
However, Pantoja defended the decision to set him up against the Japanese star.
“I think it’s all about time,” he told MMA Junkie. “In that time right now, I think it makes sense.
“You bring Kai Asakura, the crossover – that’s what every hater of the UFC is talking about: UFC needs to make a crossover.
“But when the UFC did that, the haters come back and say Asakura doesn’t deserve to fight for the belt.”

Pantoja continued: “I think it makes sense. This time, nobody can say nothing.
“And it’s good for the whole division, too, because after my fight with Asakura, everybody is going to get the opportunity to fight with this guy, too. He’s good for the whole division.”
