Alexandre
\nPantoja<\/a> continues to make positive progress toward an Octagon
\nreturn.<\/p>\n

The former
\nUFC<\/a> flyweight champion posted a video of him working out at
\n
\nAmerican Top Team<\/a> a little less than a month after he suffered
\nan elbow injury in a loss to Joshua Van<\/a>
\nat
\nUFC 323<\/a>. Van caught a kick from Pantoja, and the Brazlian
\nappeared to dislocate his elbow when he posted his arm as he was
\nshoved to the canvas. That resulted in the bout being halted just
\n26 seconds into Round 1.<\/p>\n

Building Victory<\/h2>\n

\u201cThank you so much for all the support, we are making great
\nprogress every day,\u201d Pantoja wrote in Portuguese on Instagram (via
\nGoogle Translate). \u201cVictory is being built every day. And I have to
\nbe better than I was yesterday. I am my only opponent. Gratitude
\nfor everything!\u201d<\/p>\n

Pantoja entered UFC 323 with an eight-fight winning streak that
\nincluded four successful title defenses. ATT coach Marcos
\n\u201cParrumpa\u201d da Matta
\nrecently revealed<\/a> that Pantoja didn\u2019t suffer any fractures or
\ntear any ligaments. Pantoja\u2019s overall recovery is expected to take
\nfour to six months.<\/p>\n
