He also holds the record for most wins, submissions, and finishes in UFC flyweight history.While the exact nature of the injury is currently unknown, MMA journalist Ariel Helwani reported that Pantoja may have suffered a dislocated elbow. Sharing quotes from sports doctor Brian Sutterer via an X post, Helwani wrote:"Per @BrianSuttererMD, that’s a dislocated elbow for Pantoja. 'If fractured, possibly surgery. If nothing is broken, then very rare to need surgery.'"He added:"I asked @BrianSuttererMD, how long surgery would keep Pantoja out: 'Really hard to predict return but would expect a few months either way, even if surgery not needed.'"
