It didn't take long for the Brazilian's fans to speculate a 'hint' from Poatan, indicating a possible fight against Aspinall.

“Sending a clear message!” wrote one internet user, while another sent: “Hahaha the guy has already chosen his next target and doesn’t even hide it”. There was even one who provoked Magomed Ankalayev, one of the fighters who have a chance to face the Brazilian soon: “Who is Ankalaev in the bread line?”.

Poatan did your third defense of the light heavyweight belt (up to 93kg.) in UFC 307, last Saturday (5), against Khalil rountree, who was defeated by the Brazilian by technical knockout in the fourth round. The champion now awaits the confrontation of UFC 308 across Magomed Ankalayev e Aleksandar rakic. The winner of the fight will be able to challenge Poatan for the belt next.
