By The Numbers: Matt Schnell vs. Steve Erceg
Ultimate Fighting Championship flyweight contender Matt Schnell shot to public recognition overnight courtesy of the instant classic he put on against Su Mudaerji at UFC on ABC 3 in July 2022. The seasoned veteran from Louisiana weathered a torrent of punishment before rallying to secure a technical submission in a two-round classic. That victory, sandwiched between losses to Brandon Royval and Matheus Nicolau, besides several other notable performances, forged his identity as someone who embraces a battle to the bitter end. He is now tasked with the stiff trial of taking on surging No. 12-ranked flyweight contender Steve Erceg this Saturday at UFC Fight Night 238 in Las Vegas.
