This Saturday marks just the second time Perth, Australia, native Steve Erceg will compete in Las Vegas.
The last time he fought in “the fight capital of the world,” he scored his first Performance of the Night bonus with a second-round TKO of Matt Schnell. He’ll be looking to recapture that same magic inside UFC APEX this weekend. Only this time, he's trying to snap a three-fight skid that began after that win.
That victory over Schnell catapulted Erceg into a title shot against flyweight champion Alexandre Pantoja. While it wasn’t Erceg’s night in the end, he went 25 minutes with the division’s best – not bad for his fourth UFC fight.
