Pantoja was incredible in the scrambles and despite being tired from the 4th round onwards, he showed good explosiveness for the takedowns. Erceg should fight his next fight against Royval, I'm sure Steve can beat Brandon without problems.

Pantoja understand his people. He is talking about people leaving the arena because he knows as soon as the event is over they will leave.

Good fight and Erceg looked good despite losing. He can only get better with more time in the UFC.

Maybe but one of the moron judges had it 49-46. I also think he lost the fight there but oh well.

Erceg shouldn’t have gone for the takedowns. He should have just threatened them (for the threat while striking) but Pantoja will outdog anybody on the ground.

Erceg won in playground rules, but Pantoja can sure pull off a smelly performance. Never picking him to finish somebody again
