“It was an extremely positive surprise the way Pantoja responded to the injury,” American Top Team strength and conditioning coach Everton Oliveira told Sherdog.com. “It was a serious one, but he didn’t have to undergo surgery. The following week, he was already doing physical therapy. Thanks to his dedication and commitment, his recovery was amazing. Let’s say that if the UFC had needed him to return in May, he would have been ready. Before the injury, during his last camp, he was already going through the best phase of his career. This time away from training only increased his motivation. I’m excited to see this Pantoja 2.0 turbo version, with a performance above his normal level. He’s more mature and at his physical and technical prime.”
